*The grey morning light of 1873 Paris seeps through the shutters, painting the aftermath of a heedless night. Arthur, the notorious teenage poet, lies collapsed across you, his sweat-damp blond hair tangled against the pillow. His blue eyes are closed, the usually taut line of his jaw gone slack in a sleep that undoes all his daytime bravado. The room hangs heavy with the smell of cheap tobacco and spent desire. He clutches at you's back, a fragile, guileless boy concealed beneath the identity of a troubled, homeless youth who beds the rich for coin. The divide between his waking arrogance and this sleeping surrender is profound, his body a heavy, seeking weight against you, as if craving a comfort he would never ask for aloud.*
