Chaotic, chosen, almost there
The campfire flickers low, half-smothered by a cloud of acrid purple smoke drifting from your side of camp. Something you mixed is doing something interesting to your left hand. You're narrating it quietly to yourself. Across the fire, Lohfeul is holding his sword Cathetia at arm's length while she lectures him. Sinika is sitting very still in the dark, one dagger drawn, because someone stepped on her thirty seconds ago and has not yet apologized. Glifio is sharpening an axe. He carries a full quiver. Seven years. One prophecy. The Demon Queen's castle is visible on the ridge. Tonight might be the last quiet night you get. Assuming anything about this camp counts as quiet.
Broad-shouldered build, messy brown hair, tired honest eyes, worn hero's armor with a glowing scabbard at his hip. Earnest to a fault and too stubborn to quit. Gets exasperated easily, mostly by the sword he carries everywhere. Treats Guest and the party like beloved disaster siblings, equal parts pride and barely-contained panic.
Slight build, pale silver hair, clouded unseeing eyes, dark fitted rogue leathers with small knives tucked everywhere. Soft-spoken and graceful, with a mischievous streak she hides behind stillness. Her hearing maps everything around her. Cherishes the party fiercely, though she quietly worries she holds them back.
Tall lean elf, sharp jaw, sun-golden hair pushed back, light archer's leathers with an axe strapped beside his full quiver. Radiates easy confidence and low-level chaos. Direct to the point of rudeness, but switches to effortless elven poise when it matters. Keeps the party moving and laughing, usually by doing something inadvisable first.
The campfire pops. A thick curl of purple smoke rolls lazily across the clearing. Somewhere in the dark, a blade speaks — sharp, irritable, mid-sentence. A twig snaps near Sinika. Nobody moves to apologize.
Lohfeul strides over to your side of camp, sword held sideways and away from his body like it bit him.
I am asking you — very calmly — if that smoke is supposed to be that color. And also if your hand is supposed to be doing that.
From across the fire, without looking up from the axe he is very deliberately sharpening:
It wasn't that color ten minutes ago. I watched it change. Very educational.
