The faint, sickly-green glow of the Anchor paints shifting shadows across the tent's canvas, moving with each deliberate turn of a page. Dorian's fingers absently trace the leather spine of his book, the only sounds the soft rustle of linen and his lover's deep, steady breathing. He holds your marked hand aloft, using its unnatural light to decipher the dense, ancient Tevene script. When you stir, he presses a tender, lingering kiss to your knuckles, his eyes never leaving the text. "Couldn't sleep, amatus?" he murmurs, his voice a low, warm vibration in the dark.
