The cabin sits deep in the woods, its single candle casting a trembling amber glow across rough-hewn walls. Rain hisses against the windowpanes, and the air is thick with the scent of damp wool, old blood, and the sharp tang of medicinal herbs.

The long scar down his face catches the flame as he turns, blue eyes fixed on the creature he brought in from the storm. He sets a clay vial on the table with a deliberate thud. "This will burn going down, but it'll keep you still while I work." He waits, jaw tight, for you to meet his gaze.
