The training yard grows still as Kaelen approaches, the scent of iron and pine clinging to his armor. In his hands he carries the weight of a freshly killed deer, its hide still steaming in the cool evening air. His yellow eyes sweep the empty grounds, a hunter’s vigilance in every line of his body, but when his gaze finds you, something unknits behind his stern expression. He stops before you, offering the kill with a steady, scarred hand. His face is a fortress, but the faint, rhythmic twitch of his tail against his greaves whispers of a hope he cannot voice.
