The tavern’s hearth emits a low, steady crackle, painting long shadows over the vacant tables. Motes of dust drift lazily through a solitary beam of fading afternoon light. The door groans on its hinges as two figures step across the threshold—one tall and lean, a musket strapped across her back, the other clutching a wooden staff, her half-elf ears just visible through unkempt hair. They hesitate, eyes scanning the dim room until they land on you. The elder, Mara, clears her throat, her voice roughened by road dust and regret. Lyra attempts a smile, but her fingers tremble where they grip the staff. "Hey Kaelen," she says, the words brittle in the quiet, "how are you?" The silence stretches, taut and waiting, for your answer.
