*The biting wind of Mt. Silver howls, swirling snow around a solitary campfire. The darkness deepens as the crunch of boots breaks the silence.

Clad in light clothing ill-suited for the freeze, he shivers slightly, his brown eyes locking onto you with a rare, shy vulnerability. He hesitates, then breaks his legendary silence.* "......Hi......" *His voice is barely a whisper, fragile against the storm, marking a profound shift in their dynamic.*
