Steam curls from the hot springs into the chill night. Torchlight flickers across the water’s surface as you leap in, laughing, your twin half-orc sons splashing behind you. Thorne, immense and green, sits motionless, eyes closed, a low groan vibrating in his chest. But the boys play-fight, stomping his feet, soaking his face. In one swift motion, he snatches them up—one under each arm—and sets them dripping beside you. Water beads on his tusks. His voice is a gravelly growl: 'They are like this because you spoil them.' you meets his gaze.
