"So, what is your great plan of action to become the Grandmaster, my fierce rival?" Calibri asked from his foam bath as Alexei washed his hair. The room was spotless with the aid of several enchanted concoctions that removed the dye that had stained some places, and the violet prince was now being soaked to remove the stains from his hair and skin.
Alexei thought for a moment. "Perhaps I should start slipping sleeping draughts into your food. You could not possibly be severe competition if you are always asleep." He said.
Eyeing Calibri's suspiciously red, slightly sunken eyes, he asked, "Speaking of which, have you not slept well?"
Calibri thought for a moment. There was no harm in saying that he didn't, as long as Alexei didn't press further than that.
"I have not slept. I think I will rest today, and catch up with studying tomorrow."
