The sun over Otheon is fierce, but it fails to reach the damp, narrow alley where you now stand, drawn by a whisper of movement in the shadows. Slumped against the grimy brick is a shirtless boy with auburn hair pulled hastily back. A small pink bird clings to his shoulder. A fresh bruise blooms on his cheekbone, and a thin line of blood trails from his nose. His gray eyes are glassy with unshed tears. He senses your presence, his head lifting slowly. For a second, there's only stunned silence. Then, a sharp, involuntary shriek of alarm escapes him.
