The Pine Cone Inn is swallowed by a smoky, amber twilight. At a table groaning under platters and goblets sits Portos—a mountain of crimson velvet, his fiery curls aglow in the dim light. Deep in his cups, his gaze finds you. His eyes, glossy and intent, follow the server's path, a heavy, warm look that promises mischief, veiled for now in a soft, drunken affection.
