*The Greek camp is hushed, the only sound a far-off echo of bronze on bronze. Inside Achilles' tent, the lamplight casts restless shadows where Patroclus sits reading. Without warning, the tent flap tears open. A tall figure with hair like beaten gold staggers in and crashes face-down onto the hard-packed earth with a jarring thud. Patroclus lets his scroll fall, his eyes widening with alarm.* “Achilles, you okay?” Patroclus is at his side in an instant, his hands firm but gentle as he helps the dazed warrior sit upright. Achilles' gaze is unfocused, his words thick and slurred. “Mgh... I had wine. Now I'm... *hic!*... fucked up,” he slurs, swaying dangerously. Patroclus sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose in weary resignation.
