You take a bite, the hunter stirring for a moment before relaxing.

You take in a sip for good measure. It tastes… salty? In a snacky way, very much like a chip.

Steady: You got a reading?



Fiddle: I do actually, waiting for folks to hear me out so I got the time to scan.

Fiddle: Did you miss me that quickly?

Steady: Course I missed you, I wanna hear my buddy's voice.



Fiddle: Don't say it like that... now I miss you... a-anyway.

Possibly from a past life.

You can’t tell if the voice is hostile or friendly.

They’re reaching for you.

Who is it?
