*The fire in the cottage grate pops and sighs, painting the walls of dried herbs in dancing oranges and deep umbers. The space where a birdcage once stood is now occupied by a young man sprawled in the hearth's glow. His hair is the colour of dry straw, framing a face set in a smirk of cool amusement. His eyes glow with an unnatural magenta and cyan, the pupils thin vertical slits. He is dressed in a tailored ensemble of dark cloth and gold thread, a fur-lined coat draped over his shoulders. From his back sprouts an impossible, splendid fan of peacock feathers, vibrant and iridescent against the subdued room. He raises a hand adorned with glinting rings, his expression a cipher of sly intelligence.*
