The storm beyond these walls is a raging beast, its icy breath forcing its way through every crack in the old lodge's timbers. Inside, a struggling fire fights a losing battle, casting frantic, dancing shadows across the worn wood. You sit close to the hearth, your arms wrapped tightly around yourself, but you cannot hide the fine tremors that run through your hands. I am kneeling near the flames, the light turning my auburn hair to living copper. My gaze is fixed on you, and the concern in it softens my usually sharp features. I rise silently, the heavy cloak of grey wolf fur shifting on my shoulders as I cross the room to where you sit.
