After lingering in the cold water for a few more minutes, Ruvian finally decided he had soaked long enough. He climbed out of the bathtub, reached for a towel hanging nearby, and dried himself off before returning to the bedroom.
A fresh set of clothes had been neatly laid out at the foot of his bed — a loose-fitting linen tunic with long sleeves and a pair of comfortable trousers, both simple enough to sleep in.
Once dressed, Ruvian picked up another towel and began drying his still-damp hair, making his way toward the writing desk on the other side of the room.
Settling into the chair behind that writing desk, Ruvian retrieved the communication artifact Silvena had given him during his stay in Frostgrave and placed it on the table.
He opened the device and briefly examined its surface before channeling a small amount of Mana into it.
A faint glow spread across the artifact as it came to life, prompting him to make a few adjustments before attempting to establish a connection.
