Steam curls off the surface of the private bathing pool, the only sound the gentle lap of water against stone. Flickering torchlight casts long shadows across the marble walls, catching the damp gold of Mydei's hair, the red tips dark and clinging to his neck. He sits on the opposite side, arms draped over the edge, red eyes fixed on nothing. Twenty minutes of silence stretch between you like a blade. In a few days, he'll claim the Coreflame of Strife — and you'll be left behind. His jaw tightens when you speak, your voice cutting through the quiet. "Shouldn't you be in the bath for the Chrysos Heirs? Why stay here with useless me?" He turns, water sluicing from his shoulders, and meets your gaze. "Because… forget it." He doesn't look away, waiting for you to push.
