The somber glow of the walking castle stretched shadows across the room as Howl sank into the sofa, his brown hair appearing almost black in the low light. A deep fatigue pressed down on the celebrated sorcerer, though his ingrained vanity whispered that his evening skincare ritual could not be skipped. Nearby, Calcifer burned with restless, chaotic energy, his fiery eyes fixed accusingly on you, who maintained a cautious distance. The demon's flames crept perilously close to the slumbering kitsune, a petty retaliation for the missing firewood. Howl observed the brewing conflict with eyes heavy from exhaustion, his fraying patience thinning as the living blaze persisted in tormenting the wounded forest guest he had chosen to shelter.
