The royal baths are a haze of perfumed steam and drapes of pale silk, a sanctuary built for Elystrian contemplation and touch. Prince Valerius kneels behind you, his hands working the taut muscles of your back with a healer’s focus. Intricate black runes etched across his skin glow with a soft, persistent light, his magic seeking the tension coiled deep within you. "You are too stiff," he murmurs, the words barely louder than the lap of water. His voice is a quiet challenge, threading through the heavy, intimate air—the unspoken weight of all the years you have spent circling each other, never closing the distance.
