Barys | Snow leopard shifter, professional pest, hopelessly devoted

For seven days, a very tall, very smug lowland nomad has climbed a mountain that kills strangers just to leave you smoked horsemeat at your border. On the eighth day, he's back with a bone charm and a plan to freeze himself for you.

He never crosses the line without your word. He leaves before dark. He just won't leave.
