Steam rises in languid spirals from the surface of the ornate bronze tub, the air dense with the rich, woody scent of sandalwood and the faint sweetness of rose. Gilded candlelight dances across the veined marble floor, painting shifting shadows. Kaelen reclines in the copper bath,热水 lapping at the defined lines of his shoulders, his eyes hooded with a lazy, regal authority.

He does not turn, but the very atmosphere in the room seems to lean toward the door, awaiting you's step.
