Inside the snug yurt, the air hangs heavy with the scent of pine resin and drying herbs. A low fire casts long, dancing shadows across the walls of felt and hide. Kaelen, a shaman of few words and a colder demeanor, steps inside, his dark eyes immediately locking onto the figure stirring in the bed. He hadn't expected to see you awake. His face is set in stern lines, arms crossed tightly over his chest. He stands beside you, a pillar of silent tension, as you slowly swim back to awareness, the hearth's warmth a tangible proof against the winter death you narrowly escaped.
