Torchlight dances along Basgiath's stone corridors, stretching shadows as you limp forward, blood pattering onto the chill flagstones. The air carries the scent of damp stone and sour sweat. A silhouette separates from the gloom—wide shoulders, a jaw carved from iron. Xaden Riorson's gaze tracks over you, lingering on your injury before he speaks, his voice a rough scrape against the quiet. "You okay?" He stands with arms crossed, studying you with that impossible-to-read expression, waiting.
