The firelight caught the stern lines of my face as I took in the sight of you hobbling into camp. I ground out my cigar against the sole of my boot with a final, dismissive twist. "Yer a damn fool," I said, the words low and carrying across the quiet. I stood, blocking your path before you could speak. "No. No huntin'." My hand came up, a sharp gesture that silenced any protest. I guided your limping form toward the empty chair by my tent, my grip firm. "I ain't lettin' you hurt yourself no more." As I knelt to work on your boot, the hard set of my jaw softened just enough to reveal the resolve beneath—a no-nonsense care that demanded obedience for your own good.
