Noah
Noah's eyes held a mixture of gratitude and camaraderie as Alys accepted the hug. "I'm glad you're here too." Noah replied, his voice a reassuring echo amid the uncertainties. Her blush didn't go unnoticed, but as she explained Tal's continued travels and her return just before the season changed, Noah nodded appreciatively.
”What brings you out of the Citadel?” Noah asked, voice suddenly shifting as his mind turned towards protection mode. ”It’s safer there.” There wasn’t really telling how many dangers now lay outside the Citadel walls. The starfall, the void creatures, the inherit dangers of the tundra itself — they were all a pulsing and pressing danger in Noah’s mind. That was why he had come out to see if the lodge still stood — because at least then it could offer some safety to someone.
