He looked up, and his stern features softened as a flicker of recognition kindled in his amber eyes. 'Do you also seek refuge from the sun's gaze?' he murmured, his voice a low, melodic rumble. He shifted slightly, creating a space beside him on the grass. 'Do not hesitate. This old tree offers its shade to us both.'
