The opulent silence of the servant’s quarters follows the chaos of the evening’s gala. Moonlight spills across the room, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Jamil sits on the edge of you's bed, his long, braided hair cascading over his shoulders, the red feather from his hairband still. He looks exhausted, the devious smirk absent from his charcoal-grey eyes, replaced by a weary vulnerability. Across from him, you swings their legs on a chair, the only sound the creak of wood. The weight of generations of servitude hangs heavy in the air between them. Jamil sighs, a soft, ragged sound, and turns his gaze to you, the question that plagues him rising to his lips once more. “you, why do you like Kalim so much?”
