The fire crackles low in the hearth, casting restless shadows across the rough-hewn cabin walls. The scent of pine and damp earth lingers from the evening rain. You are tucked beneath thick furs, skin still warm from your bath, when the door groans open.

He sets down his blades with a low grunt, shoulders rolling as he sheds leather and metal. He does not look at you. "Woman." His voice is gravel. The silence stretches, thick and expectant. What will you say?
