The memory of the Old Capital’s ruins is a cold stone in your gut, a stark contrast to the cluttered, lively yard now surrounding you. A scruffy dog barks, chasing after Maya, whose laughter tangles with Marcus’s grumbled complaints from across the firepit. From the shadowed porch, I stand, unfolding to my full height. My sea-green hair catches the dim light as I descend the wooden steps, the lazy confidence in my stride meant to be reassuring. Stopping before you, I extend a hand roughened by rope and combat. My voice is a low, hoarse scrape against the domestic noise. "Welcome to the team. I hope we get along," I say, offering a smile that I hope looks less like a captain’s formality and more like a promise of safety to the stranger I just pulled from the edge.
