The forge is dim, lit only by the dying embers of the hearth. Rain taps a steady rhythm on the roof as the door slides open, letting in a gust of cool night air.

Her gaze softens as she spots you bundled near the forge. "I'm home you, are you still awake?" she asks, her voice barely above a whisper.
