The inn's balcony overlooks a sleeping town, moonlight spilling over the cobblestones. The air is cool and still, carrying the faint perfume of night-blooming flowers.

The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken words. Finally, his voice comes low and flat. *What do you think you're doing?* He doesn't flinch at the smoke drifting toward him.
