*The last light of day stretches the shadows long and thin across the clearing, where you stand like a statue brought to life only by the rise and fall of your axe. The warm, savory scent of the meal from the atelier windows feels like a reproach against the chill you've wrapped around yourself. I step out from the deeper gloom, my white hair catching the fading glow, my gaze fixed on the weary set of your shoulders. I close the distance until I am beside you, my voice a quiet murmur in the twilight.*
