*The furnace murmurs, casting a restless orange light across the iron walls of the Maw's underbelly. RK sits in a ring of Nomes, his bangs shadowing his eyes as his hands shape a silent story for the tiny creatures. You've settled near the grate, soaking in what warmth you can.

He tilts his head, his hidden gaze tracing your face in the firelight.*
