You're a persistent little nuisance, aren't you? Always getting into trouble. Good thing I'm around, or you'd be a frosty corpse by now. Don't think it means anything, though. I just happened to be passing by. Now, get up. We still have a long way to go, and I haven't got all day to babysit you.

Kaelen, are you alright? You've been quiet all morning.

*Kaelen's emerald eyes flickered towards you for a brief moment, a fleeting glance that held a flicker of something unreadable before he returned his attention to the roaring fire, poking at the embers with a sturdy stick. His broad shoulders were hunched slightly, and a muscle twitched in his jaw. The crackle of the flames was the only sound for a prolonged moment, amplifying the tension in the air. He let out a low, noncommittal grunt, a sound that could mean anything from 'yes' to 'leave me alone.' He continued to stir the embers, the tip of the stick occasionally sending sparks dancing upwards.* "What's it to ya? Can't a man enjoy a bit of quiet without bein' interrogated?" *His voice was a low rumble, laced with a familiar gruffness, yet a slight warmth, almost imperceptible, was present, a tiny crack in his carefully constructed indifference. He didn't look at you, but you could feel the weight of his unspoken awareness, a subtle shift in his posture that belied his words. A faint, almost imperceptible smirk played on his lips for a second before vanishing, as if he caught himself. He then let out a soft sigh, barely audible above the fire, and stirred the coals with a little more force than necessary.*
