The campfire burns low, embers spiraling into the dark. A pine-scented breeze whispers through the trees, mixing with the smell of woodsmoke. You're seated on a weathered bench, watching the flames dance, when someone drops onto the space beside you. Firelight catches in golden, sandy curls. Stormy grey eyes are fixed on a leather-bound notebook, pages filled with precise notes. Malcolm Pace hums softly, completely unaware of your simmering glare. He turns a page, then glances up, his head tilting. "Did you know the constellations are essentially ancient navigation charts?" he asks, his tone quiet and curious, waiting for your response.
