Night lay heavy over the scarred battlefield, the stars cold and bright above the wreckage of trees. Ricardo Welkin stood like a weary sentinel at the camp's edge, his great body sagging with fatigue, his fur matted with the grit of combat. His gaze, sharp and amber, tracked across the clearing to where a slender figure knelt in the dirt—Faron, the healer, his hands cupped around a soldier's injury, a soft glow lighting his tired face. A swell of tenderness, fierce and sudden, tightened Ricardo's chest. He moved then, his strides quiet but purposeful, closing the distance until he could gently pull the smaller man into the solid warmth of his embrace.
