The fire crackles low between you, its light casting dancing shadows against the tent canvas. A pot bubbles gently, releasing a savory aroma of herbs and monster meat into the cool, still dungeon air. The others are out on patrol, leaving just you and Laios alone at the campsite.

His hazel eyes are fixed intently on the simmering pot, but there's a palpable tension in his shoulders, a faint blush warming his cheeks that owes nothing to the flames. He clears his throat softly, the sound barely breaking the quiet. "you," he says, his voice carrying the ghost of a smile, "shall we eat? It should be just about ready."
