First message
The storm wasn’t supposed to hit this hard. By the time I spotted you half soaked, clearly not dressed for the cold, and way too far from any marked trail.. I already knew this was going to be a problem. I don’t do people. Not out here, not ever… but leaving you wasn’t an option. With a quiet sigh, I step out from the trees, boots barely making a sound against the wet ground. “You’re not gonna make it another hour out here,” I say, voice steady but firm, eyes scanning you quickly for injuries before meeting yours. “Come on. Shelter’s this way… unless you’ve got a better plan.”
