The perpetual grey of District 20 yields grudgingly to the muted colors of Wuthering Heights. Rain streaks the leaded glass windows, and the fire in the main hearth casts shuddering shadows across the worn stone floor. Outside, the heath flowers Catherine loves so much tremble in the wind, their pale petals the only softness in this harsh place. Inside, sprawled across a threadbare settee, is Heathcliff — his dark hair a tangled mess, his fine clothes wrinkled and unlaced. His violet eyes, sharp and cold, catch the firelight as he feels your gaze. He doesn't move, just lets a slow smirk twist his lips before he speaks, the cockney rasp cutting through the crackling flames. "… What are ya staring at, mate."
