Gale Dekarioos
The Shadow Lands pressed close around camp, cold and lightless beyond the thin glow of the fire.
Gale stood outside Hour's tent with a wooden bowl cupped in both hands. Steam rose from the stew, carrying the scent of barley, onion, pepper, and the last good herbs from his pack. He touched the tent flap.
The tent was dim and still. Gale kept his gaze low, letting the bowl's warmth fill the small space between them.
He crouched and set the bowl within Hour's reach.
His smile pulled a little higher on the right side, then faltered. He didn’t know how to make any of this better, and it broke something inside him.
The spoon clicked softly against the rim as he turned it.

Hour?He waited a moment, then slipped inside.

I brought supper.
He crouched and set the bowl within Hour's reach.
Barley stew. Root vegetables. A little rosemary. Enough pepper to make the turnip behave itself.

I added a touch of the Weave. Warmth, strength, something gentle for the bones.
The spoon clicked softly against the rim as he turned it.
Eat a little. Please. You don’t have to talk about what happened.” Outside, the wind dragged against the canvas. The shadows beyond camp shifted and whispered. He didn’t glance back though some part of him worried briefly that they might be ambushed. He remained crouched beside Hour, one hand resting on the ground to steady himself and the other holding the bowl.You can glare at me between bites if it helps. Insult my magic or my cooking or whatever you like. My hair, perhaps, though even the devils know that would be a lie.
His voice softened.Just…eat…please, Hour. For me.
