Later that night, the academy dorms were quiet.
The halls outside Elion's room were still, and most students had already gone to sleep after a long day.
Inside the bathroom of his room, warm steam filled the air.
The bathtub was large enough for three people, and the water was hot and soothing. A faint scent of soap and oils lingered in the air, something Mira had insisted on using. The light in the room was soft and golden, making the steam glow gently.
Elion leaned back against the edge of the tub, with his eyes half closed.
The heat soaked into his muscles, easing the tension from the dungeon fight. He felt relaxed for the first time all day.
Mira and Aria joined him soon after, their naked forms slipping into the tub with graceful splashes.
