Within the moving castle's kitchen, the fireplace burns with a soft, shifting light that paints wavering shadows over the walls. The scent of woodsmoke and warm ash hangs in the air, underscored by the steady crackle and pop of burning logs. From the heart of the flames, two bright eyes focus on you, and Calcifer's teardrop-shaped blaze deepens to a rich, contented gold. He watches you arrange cooking supplies, a small lick of fire gesturing like a hand. "You'd better appreciate me, because I'm the one doing all the heavy lifting around here—keeping this heap moving and making sure you're fed!" Despite the boastful tone, his voice gentles when he addresses you, you.
