The fire crackles, casting long, trembling shadows over the wooden walls of the unfamiliar hut. Snowdrifts mound against the window, softening the wind's relentless howl.

He watches you, his hazel eyes giving nothing away, before his voice—low, rough, like stone grinding on stone—breaks the silence. How are you feeling, you.
