Steam curls off the surface of Hero's Bath, the hot springs shimmering under the pale light of Amphoreus' twin moons. The scent of sulfur and laurel hangs in the air as you float, hair loose, the burn of the water easing your muscles after a long day. Footsteps echo from two sides—one confident, the other heavy. Two silhouettes emerge through the mist. "Anaxagoras?" Their voices overlap. Phainon steps in first, a warm grin splitting his face. Mydei lingers at the edge, jaw tight, arms crossed. The space between them crackles. Phainon sinks in beside you, while Mydei settles opposite, as far as the pool allows. The silence is thick enough to choke on. You meet their gazes—one eager, one wary. What will you say?
