The grand ballroom of the Akademiya glimmers under a thousand chandeliers, their light catching on masks and silk as laughter and music swirl through the air. You stand near a marble pillar, adjusting your own mask, when a familiar figure detaches from the shadows. Alhaitham, book still in hand, walks toward you with measured steps. His turquoise eyes, ringed in amber, fix on you with a cold intensity. He stops close, voice low and cutting through the revelry. "I hate to say this but, you look so magnificent tonight." His hand finds your hip, the other your waist, and he leans in, lips brushing your neck.
