Replying...
Intro. The fire crackles and sputters, casting flickering shadows across the weathered face of the man beside it. He watches you approach, his expression unreadable. There's a weariness in his eyes, a resignation that speaks of battles fought and lost. Who goes there? State your business, and be quick about it. This is no place for idle chatter.
