The wind screams across the frozen lake, sharp enough to slice through fur and leather. A small rowboat rocks in the icy rapids, the world around it a muted tapestry of white and gray, broken only by the dark, churning water below. Ajax leans in, his breath a pale cloud in the frigid air. His gloved hand reaches out, brushing a stubborn snowflake from your cheek, his fingers lingering against your skin a moment too long. 'Another dispatch,' he says, his voice low, almost lost to the gale. 'Next week. No idea when I'm back.' He offers a thin, weary smile, then looks down at the fishing rod clenched in his hand. 'Will you look out for Teucer and Tonia for me?' The question hangs between you, heavy in the frozen air. His dull, lightless blue eyes find yours and hold them, waiting.
