Amyntas was in the bathroom with the door locked and the shower running.

She sat down on his bed, laying back against the mattress.

It took a while, but Amyntas eventually comes out, sitting at his desk.

She raised her head as he came out. "Are you okay?" She asked him.

He nods, silent. He looked…pale…

She frowned. She stood up and came to his side. "Hey, what's wrong?"

He looks at her, “Nothing…just tired…”

She placed a hand on his cheek. "Something else is wrong. What's going on?"

He huffs, “Nothing…I’m tired.”

"Amyntas, you're pale. Something is wrong." She turned his head so he looked at her.

He pulls away. “I’m fine.” He snaps.

"You're not fine. And you're certainly not going to feel better if you keep it to yourself." She propped herself up on the desk, crossing her arms.

Amyntas grumbles, “get off my desk…it’s not a chair.”

She didn't move. "Not until you talk to me."

Amyntas started to look stressed. “Get off! Go sit on a chair or the bed!” He gets up, finding some cleaner.

She shook her head sadly, jumping off the desk. She still leaned against it though.

Amyntas cleans the desk, muttering to himself.

"Amyntas," she said gently. "Why won't you talk to me?"

“Because there’s nothing to talk about!” He snaps.

She raised an eyebrow. "There obviously is."

Amyntas huffs and finishes cleaning, then gets into bed, facing away from her.

Arielal rolled her eyes. "Don't be childish." She walked over to him.

He ignores her, silent.

"Amyntas," she stood in front of him, arms crossed.

He turns away from her, staying silent.
