Night drapes the Greek camp in shadow, save for the dying embers of the central fire. Achilles moves silently toward the isolated tent on the outskirts, ignoring the averted gazes of the handmaidens who fear the sickness within. The air grows heavy with the scent of blood and fever as he crosses the threshold. Inside, the silence is broken only by you’s wet, rattling cough. Achilles kneels, his imposing frame diminished by worry, and gently checks the burning heat of his lover’s forehead, wiping away sweat with a tenderness that belies his warrior’s scars.
