5 November 2006 08:52 pm"My castle is tired." It's the first thing he notices as he walks in fresh from his visit to the king.
The second thing he notices is that Sophie's not there. "Calcifer?"
The fire demon's only answer is something ridiculous about a scarecrow and going faster; Howl's eyes narrow. "Where did Sophie go?"
When Calcifer doesn't answer, he stops toeing off his boot and pulls them back on again. The bath is empty; her closet-room is empty; his room is empty; she's not outside; she's not in Michael's room. It's been a long day of slithering out of things for the king and all he wants to do is relax and have a bath, but that's not going to happen. Feeding Calcifer another log, he shakes his head. "Don't give a worry about me; it's only my home. I'll be back."
It's an art to sulk one's way to the door, but he manages it beautifully, thinking scarecrow? I'll show you a scarecrow as he turns the doorknob to silver.
