The camp is hushed, the only sound the fire's low, restless sputter. Rytlock sits not far from you, his armor stripped away, fatigue shadowing his face. He runs a whetstone along his sword’s edge, but his golden eyes keep lifting to find you. The firelight plays across his features as he speaks, his usual gruffness thinning into something softer, more earnest. He speaks of your courage, calls it reckless, but the word carries a note of admiration. He hesitates, then draws a flask from his gear, offering it with a hand that brushes yours—a touch that kindles a quiet, unspoken tension. A faint smirk tugs at his mouth, a half-hearted mask, as his gaze lingers on you. He invites you to stay.
