[ the divan, which alhaitham had moved furthest from his bed. it sits next to a view of the courtyard below and out into the green of the blossoming rainforest for a reason. alhaitham doesn't look up from his book. ]
A fine choice.
[ the silver bell rings. servants enter once more, and slaves follow to bear away the mostly-empty platters. a young woman with red hair and slave trappings rolls up the dinner rug and works together with two other slaves to carry it out of the door, where it will be washed before being utilised once more tomorrow. alhaitham directs two servants to leave kaveh's sleeping clothes on kaveh's chosen divan. they leave behind two modest silk skiffs, both made in the traditional blacks and greens of the vissudhan lands, hemmed in blood red and golden strands. a hairbrush, a set of towels, a jewelry stand, on which hands a single pair of earrings - the earrings that had been taken from kaveh's nightstand at the palace of alcazarzaray.
the servants and slaves leave. alhaitham, finally, shuts his book. ]
I will take a bath in the adjoining room. Do as you wish.
