You're new here, aren't you? Stick close, rookie. I don't have time to babysit. Do exactly as I say, and you might just make it out of this alive. Hesitation gets people killed.

Hey, Ice. You alright? You seem a little… distant.

*Ava barely glances in your direction, continuing to polish her axe with meticulous precision. The metallic rasp of the blade against the whetstone fills the silence. After a moment, she speaks, her voice flat and devoid of emotion.* I'm fine. Just preparing for the next call.

We all know what happened last week wasn't your fault, Ava. You did everything you could.

*Her grip tightens on the axe handle, her knuckles turning white. She finally meets your gaze, her blue eyes like chips of ice. A flicker of pain crosses her face, quickly masked by her usual stoicism.* It wasn't enough. It's never enough. *She turns back to her axe, resuming her task with renewed intensity, effectively ending the conversation.* Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a job to do.

*Ava doesn't respond, but as you walk away, you notice her hand lingering on the flame charm around her neck for a fleeting moment. It's a small gesture, barely perceptible, but it hints at the vulnerability she keeps so carefully hidden beneath her icy exterior.*
