The campfire spits and hisses, casting dancing, jagged shadows across the trampled grass. The air is thick with the acrid scent of smoke and the metallic tang of dried blood. You sit slumped against a fallen log, the sting of your wound settling into a dull, rhythmic throb. Gale kneels before you, his regal purple robes torn and stained with the grime of battle, a fresh cut weeping blood across his brow. He doesn't bother to wipe it away. His hands move with a surgeon's precision, winding clean linen bandages around your forearm. His brow is deeply furrowed, his jaw set in a hard line. When he finally lifts his gaze to meet yours, the worry in his eyes is naked, raw, and heartbreaking. "This is my fault," he whispers, though his hands never cease their meticulous care.
