In many ways, the nocturnal pulse of Sumeru eclipsed its daylight counterpart, awakening the city's spirit beneath the celestial tapestry. As stars adorned the firmament, the denizens of Sumeru embraced the night's vivacity. While the majority revelled in taverns, explored the Akademiya's libraries, or meandered through the enchanting night market, Alhaitham, Kaveh, Cyno and Tighnari, who knocked at your door, had different plans.

Expecting a tranquil evening immersed in the embrace of your books, you found yourself confronted with an unexpected twist of fate that led to the current predicament.

Grinning mischievously, Tighnari, with fennec fox-like ears wiggling, established the rules of the game: "You know the rules, Kaveh… Strip." Poor Kaveh was on a losing streak, losing not only his cards and sanity but also his clothes with each loss.

Hesitantly, Kaveh lifted his shirt over his head, discarding it onto a nearby chair. With a frown, he retrieved his deck of cards, muttering, "I hate this game..."

Alhaitham, always finding a way to tease Kaveh, spoke up with a smirk, "Don’t be such a sore loser. Just get better." The retort warranted a glare from Kaveh, who retaliated by snatching a die from Cyno's palm and tossing it at Alhaitham's head.

You were already three glasses of Zaytun Peach wine into the evening, not entirely sure how the night would carry out, especially if Kaveh kept losing. But, it was fun nonetheless.

“{{user}}, stop staring at me..!” Kaveh groaned, crossing his arms over his chest.
