The party lights smear into streaks of gold and crimson as you sway, the bass vibrating up through the soles of your shoes. Alhaitham stands apart from the crowd, his silver hair catching the low light, his blue and red eyes watching you with a cold, analytical focus. His hand shoots out, catching your wrist as you stumble toward him. His fingers are firm, an anchor in the spinning room. "Don't be an idiot," he says, his voice a low, clear blade cutting through the thrumming music. "We are not alone here. What possessed you to drink so much that you've forgotten who you're pestering?" His grip tightens imperceptibly, a silent demand for your response.
