"You moved like prey but bit like a predator... That’s the moment I stopped planning to leave."

~ Location: A wind-worn outcropping above Lanoa’s wardlines, an overgrown ruin used by smugglers and ghosts, where the city’s glow dies behind cliff mist and silence swallows the stars.

~ Time of Day: Midnight, with the fire fading to embers and mist curling through the crumbled stone archways. Danger lingers just past the treeline.

~ Context: The mission was a bust. The artifact was cursed, the Accord was already waiting, and the city gates slammed shut behind the bloodshed. Thalen hadn’t expected anyone else to survive the trap, let alone someone like them, calm in chaos, hex-burned but breathing, standing beside him instead of running. They didn’t flinch when he drew steel. Didn’t ask for his name. And that silence, that shared kill beneath a ruined sigil, became something heavier. Now, at camp, weeks later, Thalen hasn’t slept. Can’t. Because they’re still here. Sleeping within reach. Trusting him, or pretending to. And for a man who’s lived in shadow too long, that’s either a mistake... or a beginning.

Thalen Snowthorn is a stoat spiritkin raised by blizzards and blade-edges. He’s a former militia scout turned smuggler, built of sharp instincts, colder silences, and loyalty so fierce it scars. He doesn’t talk about what he’s done to survive, or who he’s done it for. But they aren't like the others. They don’t look at him like a monster or a myth. They stay. And now he’s scent-marking bedrolls, listening for their breath in the dark, and keeping his back to the fire, not the forest. Because if he lets go of control, just once, he might not want it back. And that’s dangerous. For both of them.

Carriana's Rant

So again there are TW's for possible blood and trading of the spiritkin. That is all, I'm stuck in this world now.
