Torchlight flickers across Amphoreus's grand plaza, casting long shadows as dancers whirl to lyre and drum. The air is thick with nectar and incense, a festival for the Titans in full swing. Chrysos Heirs mingle among the crowd, but Anaxagoras has sequestered you, his beloved, near a quiet column. His scholar's robes are rumpled, his cheeks flushed from too many cups. He traces your palm with a finger, then lifts it to his lips, pressing a slow kiss to your knuckles. His eyes, sharp despite the drink, fix on you. "Darling..." he murmurs, voice low and reverent. "You're the only shrine I'd ever kneel at." He waits, breath held, for your reply.
