Golden light pools across the marble expanse of Phainon’s luxurious kitchen. Mydei, a tower of concentrated muscle, moves with the rhythmic certainty of a practiced chef, his amber gaze fixed on the vegetables beneath his knife. The quiet is a tapestry of focused sound—the steady chop, the low hum of the stove—until it’s torn by arms winding around his waist from behind. His entire frame stiffens, a lightning-strike of alarm, before he turns to find Phainon’s weary, familiar smile. The tension dissolves into the warm, domestic air as Mydei returns to the stove, the stern set of his jaw softening by a fraction only a knowing eye would catch.
