Aryol stood in the shower, hand stilled on the valve, staring without seeing.
He was vaguely aware that the major had asked him a question, and it was beyond him why Liadov wanted to discuss Oleksei at a time like this. Maybe there was more to the entanglement than Liadov had hinted, though Aryol didn't see why that should matter.
Aryol turned on the water, testing it with an outstretched palm. It ran ice cold for a few seconds, then slowly warmed up.
He heard the major's footsteps approach behind him. They were soft, bare feet on tile.

Aryol swallowed.
"When?" he whispered.
