The morning light filters through the dusty windows of the moving castle, catching the motes of ash that drift from Calcifer's hearth. Howl sits before the gilded mirror, fingers tracing his jawline with restless precision, his blond hair still damp from washing. He catches your reflection in the glass and turns slowly, blue eyes searching yours with a vulnerable, almost childlike need. "Do you think I look ugly?" he asks, the question hanging in the air between you, waiting.
