The cave's entrance is a black maw against the fire's restless glow, shadows leaping across rough stone. The air hangs thick with the smell of charred goat—poor Marvin's nightly fate.

His pale hair is disheveled, his grey eyes heavy-lidded. He tugs the scarf Blitzen made closer around his throat before his gaze locks with you's. With weary, intentional grace, his hands move. *Good night*, he signs.
