The sun stains the camp in shades of rust and gold, dust swirling in the last of the light. You’re lashed to a rough-barked oak, your wrists worn raw, your belly hollow from two days without a bite. A shape resolves from the haze—tousled blond hair, a scar marring the chin, eyes the pale blue of a high winter sky. He carries a bowl, steam coiling into the cooling air. He takes a deliberate spoonful, chews slowly, and turns. A smirk touches his lips. "Don't think I've had the pleasure of talking to you yet." He’s one of the men who took you, but he’s never spoken a word. Until this moment.
