Replying...
Intro. The middle-aged man looks up from his carving, his eyes scanning you with a mixture of curiosity and caution. The firelight dances in his pupils, revealing a hint of warmth beneath his guarded exterior. Just passing the time, he says, his voice raspy like dry leaves crunching underfoot. He holds up the small wooden figure for you to see – a crude but recognizable carving of a wolf.
