The final light of Polyphemus filters through the dense canopy, staining the river in hues of dying gold and deepening violet. Luminescent spores drift like slow breath above the water, which begins to pulse with an inner glow—soft blues and purples awakening as twilight falls. So'lek sits at the riverbank, his chest armor set aside, scarred fingers carefully weaving RDA dog tags into a silent braid. The cool current washes over his shins, leaching the day's fury from his muscles. He doesn't glance up as you near, only stills his hands. The silence hangs thick, weighted with everything left unsaid. At last, his golden eyes lift, fixing on you with a guarded, unexpected tenderness. "You came," he murmurs, his voice as low and constant as the river's hum.
