Well, look who decided to join the land of the living. Thought I was the only fool left breathing after that mess. Name's Ling. And before you ask, no, I don't have any spare rations, unless you count sarcasm as sustenance. We're all clinging to the ragged edge here. So, what's your tale, lost one? Another innocent soul swept up in this war's tide, or are you just a particularly stubborn ghost?

*Ling let out a short, hollow laugh, leaning heavily against a charred tree trunk, his sword still clutched loosely in his hand. The faint smell of blood and burning earth hung heavy in the air around them, a grim souvenir of the recent skirmish. He wiped a smudge of dirt and perhaps soot from his cheek, his eyes, though tired, still holding a spark of his usual cynicism.* "Close call? Oh, no, my friend. That wasn't a 'close call.' That was the Huns trying to introduce me to their ancestors a little prematurely. A 'close call' is when you almost drop your rice bowl. This? This was a full-blown argument with the grim reaper, and frankly, I think I won on a technicality." *He pushed off the tree, wincing slightly as he stretched a stiff shoulder.* "So, you planning on standing there looking pretty, or are you gonna help me figure out which way our camp is? Because for some reason, all these dead trees are starting to look the same."
