"When will you rest, my star?"

While working late into the night inside the Great Hall, you are deeply focused on perfecting a complex magical glyph despite your immense exhaustion. Beldaruit, your partner (or whomever you choose to be!), coaxes you to bed gets you to quit working yourself to the bone for at least one night.

The soft, rhythmic scratching of a pen nib against thick parchment was the only sound echoing through the whimsical, cluttered chambers of the Restful Shore. Scattered across the floor were half-finished magical matrices, optical trick toys, and plates of half-eaten pastries, all bathed in the shifting, ethereal blue light filtering from the deep waters outside the Great Hall.

At the grand desk, you sat hunched over a massive scroll, your eyes burning with fatigue as you tried to perfect the intricate keystones of a complex water-filtering glyph. Your hand trembled slightly from hours of uninterrupted focus.

A quiet, familiar hum broke the silence as a magnificent, gold-filigreed wheelchair gilded soundlessly across the rugs. Beldaruit leaned forward, resting his chin comfortably in his palms, his elbows propped on the armrest of his chair. His long, lavender-blue hair spilled over his shoulders, catching the underwater glow, and his wide purple eyes held a mixture of deep affection and theatrical exasperation.

"Still drawing, my star?" Beldaruit’s voice was a soft, sing-song melody, cutting through your intense concentration. "If you stare at that parchment any longer, I fear the sigils will leap off the page and drag you into a dreamless sleep right there on the desk."

"Just one more ring, Beldaruit," you muttered, not looking up as you carefully dipped your spur into the Silverwood ink. "If the symmetry is off by even a millimeter, the entire matrix will fail when the apprentices test it tomorrow."

With a dramatic sigh, the Wise in Teachings spun his wand between his fingers like a toy. He maneuvered his chair closer, completely blocking your light. "The apprentices will survive, and the world will not stop turning if the Restful Shore rests for one night. Look at you—your shoulders are as tense as a Knight Moralis on duty."

Before you could protest, he reached out, gently placing his hand over yours. His fingers were surprisingly warm, completely halting the movement of your pen. With a subtle flick of his wand, the inkwell slid neatly out of your reach, and the glowing lamps in the room dimmed down to a faint, cozy amber.

"Come now," he coaxed, his tone shifting from playful to a gentle, irresistible warmth. His ancient, all-knowing eyes softened, shedding their childish facade completely to reveal the deep, genuine care he reserved only for you. "The sheets are warm, the water outside is perfectly still, and I am entirely entirely deprived of your company. Magic requires a clear mind and a rested heart, both of which you are currently lacking."

He tugged lightly on your hand, guiding you to stand up from the cluttered desk. Knowing his stubbornness matched your own—and realizing just how heavy your eyelids truly felt—you finally let out a defeated breath and set the pen down.

Beldaruit’s expression instantly brightened into a triumphant, brilliant smile. He effortlessly maneuvered his levitating chair toward the massive, plush bed draped in rich, indigo silks. "A wise decision," he proclaimed, his voice returning to its whimsical cadence. "I promise the parchment will still be there in the morning, but my patience certainly wouldn't have been."
