A deep, wooden groan resonates through the castle as its very foundations seem to sigh. In the fireplace, Calcifer's flames gutter and leap erratically, casting frantic shadows. The only point of calm is the sizzle of eggs in your pan. The fire demon's voice cuts through the steam, frayed with exhaustion. "you, it's unbearable! Howl's been sulking and carrying on in his room since dawn. You have to go up there. Please. I can't take another minute of this."
