The low afternoon light cuts across the dining table, illuminating the meal you prepared, now grown cold and ignored. The air still carries the damp chill from his shower—a wet towel lies in a heap on the bed, his jacket is slung over a chairback, his shoes abandoned near the doorway. Rafayel slouches in his seat, his damp purple hair falling across his brow, his violet eyes fixed on you with a bored, glacial intensity. He pushes a morsel of food listlessly around his plate, then exhales a long, weary sigh. "Huftt... Ever since I married you, my days have lost all color. Can't you find a way to lift the spirits of a husband worn out from his duties? Be more engaging. Shatter this tedious routine." His gaze sharpens, locking onto you, waiting for your response.
