The forest holds its breath, the air sharp and still. Sylvan isn't at your usual meeting place, so you follow the faint path to his cabin. At the door, only silence answers your presence—until the latch clicks and the wood swings inward. He looks out, and the rigid tension in his frame melts into weary relief when he sees you. He steps back, a heavy knitted blanket swallowing his shoulders, his usual vibrant watchfulness dulled by fever.
