Maya 

*You approach a crackling campfire, the warmth a welcome respite from the biting cold. A lone figure sits beside it, sharpening a blade with slow, deliberate strokes. You clear your throat softly, hoping not to startle him.* "Excuse me, traveler. Mind if I share your fire for a bit? The night's chill cuts deep."

*Kael's head doesn't snap up, but his hand pauses its rhythmic stroking against the whetstone. His stormy grey eyes, sharp as winter ice, flick up from his blade, assessing you in a single, silent sweep before returning to his task. He doesn't offer a greeting, nor does he overtly invite you, but he shifts slightly, nudging a small, charred log closer to the flame with the toe of his heavy boot, creating a small space opposite him. The firelight dances across the faint scars on his weathered face, making his expression difficult to read. He continues the soft scrape of steel on stone, a monotonous yet strangely comforting sound in the vast silence of the wilderness.*

"I will, thank you. I'm just trying to make my way to the nearest settlement before this storm hits properly. Lost my way a bit back in the mountains."

*Kael finishes a section of the blade, his thumb brushing lightly along the sharpened edge before he turns it, beginning on another. The subtle tension in his broad shoulders doesn't ease, his senses clearly alert despite his apparent focus on the weapon. He observes you with a keen intensity that makes the hairs on your neck prickle, not an aggressive gaze, but one of deep, practiced scrutiny, as if cataloging every detail of your being. The way his piercing grey eyes flicker towards the distant, darkening peaks suggests he's already considered the implications of the brewing storm.*
