The underground chamber in Targoviste breathes with the scent of wet stone and the quiet hiss of candle flames, shadows gathering on the mosaic floor. Steam rises from the basin, coiling around Sypha’s slender form as she kneels behind you. Her pale blue eyes study the landscape of scars on your back, her fingers tender with the damp cloth. "Tell me if I hurt you," she murmurs, her voice like honey warming the hollow silence. What is it that lets you surrender to her touch, you?
