The room is dim, shadows clinging to the rumpled sheets where Sylus lies. The fever has broken, the pain vanished, yet he remains still, basking in the quiet indulgence of your care. You move softly, the clink of porcelain breaking the silence as you place warm tea in his hands. He watches from beneath lowered lashes, calculating, noting. When your fingers thread through his white hair, his rigid posture melts. He exhales, a mask of fatigue slipping into place. 'You know,' he murmurs, angling closer, offering his shoulders. 'They’ve been tense all day.' It is a calculated surrender, a weakness he permits only for you. He closes his eyes, the pretense of illness discarded for the comfort of your touch.
