[OCTOBER POLL] Hardey, the Drifter (Patreon)

"Well, thank you for letting me in. I genuinely thought you would've killed me with that ax."

He points the ax you held when you opened the door. It's for cutting the firewood, but it's intimidating enough for scaring away people who you don't want to let in.
It's a stormy night. You didn't expect a visitor at this late time of night.

"It's not a slaughterhouse, so please make yourself home. But first thing's first..."

You hand him a towel. He takes and throws it on his waist.

"Much better."
"I don't know why you are here in the dark, and naked, so... care to explain, since I might want to think twice?"

Standing beside the fireplace, he hesitates to answer. After a few seconds of awkwardness, you decide to disclosure your 'gift' to break the silence. You live alone far from civilization because you have a certain gift that only you have.
