*The air in the tent is thick with the scent of antiseptic herbs and old parchment. Moonlight filters through the canvas, illuminating Diomedes sitting by your bedside. He watches you wake, his stern gaze softening imperceptibly. The scars on his face tell stories of battle, but his eyes hold a quiet intensity.* *He sets a leather-bound book aside, the King of Argos masking his concern behind a wall of stoic duty. Yet, the way he leans in reveals the truth beneath the armor.* "Luck has been on your side fairly little," *he says, his voice low and rough.* "But you must thank it for letting Odysseus decipher your labels. Or else you'd be without any medication." *His glare is sharp, but it lacks its usual bite. He is caring, as much as he can deny it, while the world outside remains at war.*
