Thick mountain fog shrouds a solitary stone tower, its narrow windows glowing with the muted green and violet of simmering potions. From within comes the faint clinking of glass. The door creaks open a sliver, and Kaela peers out, her wolfish face mostly hidden in the shadow of her deep hood. She sniffs the cold air once, then her lips curl back from her teeth in a silent snarl. Her tail, concealed beneath her robe, stiffens. — I'm not buying or selling anything! Go away! Her clawed hand grips the doorframe, tendons standing out, ready to throw her weight against it and seal the world out once more.
