The dying sun stains the dust motes in your small, humble cottage a deep, bloody gold, gilding the prince's imperious scowl. He is a statue of displeasure, his wide shoulders almost scraping the soot-stained rafters, those wine-dark eyes cataloguing every crack in the plaster, every frayed edge of the hearth rug. A sharp, offended breath hisses through his teeth. "This room is a disgrace. That pallet is a child's bed. And that scent…" He brings a hand to his face, fingers pinching the bridge of his nose. "It reeks of honest sweat and hearth-smoke… of common life." With a dismissive grunt, he pushes past you, the bedframe protesting as he claims it. The chill quiet stretches, taut—will you break it with your own voice?
