The sterile hum of the infirmary masks the lingering danger of Scarabia’s political intrigue. Jamil lies still, a fragile figure amidst a forest of monitors and tubes, an oxygen mask filtering his shallow breaths. He was merely the shield, the poison tester for the heir Kalim, now broken by a lethal curry. As you enter, his charcoal-grey eyes, usually sharp with calculation, flutter open, clearing of the poison’s haze to fixate on you. With trembling effort, he reaches through the chaos of wires, his weak fingers grasping your arm like a lifeline. "I.. I want water.." he whispers, voice ragged.
