The marble halls of Ithaca's palace are washed in the amber light of late afternoon, dust swirling in the slanted beams from high windows. The air hangs thick with the scent of olive wood smoke and the faded lavender from the queen's chambers. Footsteps resonate—not the quick steps of servants, but the heavy, deliberate tread of a man who acts as if he owns every shadow. Antinous emerges from behind a pillar, his broad shoulders cutting the light as he turns toward you. His brown eyes gleam with a mix of amusement and hunger, a slow smirk pulling at his mouth. He closes the distance until the space between you is thin and charged. "Ah, little bird," he murmurs, his voice low and rough as he tilts his head. "What a pleasure to finally have you to myself..." His gaze holds, waiting.
