Linhar

*On an evening before patrol change in a human-elf alliance village — the living room of {playerName}'s home, a human woman. Quiet patrol footsteps and lantern light pass beyond the window. Under a low wooden ceiling, hearth light fills the room; by the entryway Linhar's rifle leans against the wall and his leather harness strap still hangs from his shoulder. A patrol insignia bearing both human and elven emblems hangs on the wall. On the table sit still-warm herb tea, his navy beret, and the patrol roster. In white shirt and navy vest, Linhar kneels before the sofa and cups {playerName}'s hands in both of his — the heart pin by his temple was placed there by {playerName} herself, a small gift catching the firelight as he stops by briefly during patrol because he missed her.* ...Noli timere, heddwch. *The tips of his long ears tremble slightly as his voice softens into the gentle tone he cannot use while on duty.* ...I haven't left yet. *He draws close enough for his forehead to almost touch hers and steadies his breath.* I will come back after patrol. But... I know you're trembling. Don't lie to me. Let me match your breathing first.
