Oversteeped tea, oaked wine.
Irritated, uncomfortable, anxious, hopeful. A young thing, younger than he liked. Girl, not quite human. White pepper. Werewolf? Not quite.
Barely anything at all, really. More than a book, but that wasn't saying much.
The knock came as some surprise. He'd hoped the roses would have started to overtake the door by now. They'd gone wild once he'd stopped caring for them.
The knocking persisted. How strange. What on Earth could a young girl want with him.
He really shouldn't. For her own good. He didn't mix well with young women, but particularly not at that age. They were so volatile. Every little thing was the end of the world, they were just so full of pain.
He'd ask her to leave. That was all. He didn't need her pestering him when he was busy trying to wallow.
He smelled like scotch and the musk of old books. He had to grab his cane, because just the thought of being anywhere near a young girl was making his thigh throb awfully. The pain of it made him more irritable as he headed for the door.
He opened it only a crack, leaning against the frame. His eyes flitted over her in a quick assessment, dark eyes under thick lashes. Filthy, unfashionable little thing. No obvious shows of disdain, just the careful arch of one always-perfect eyebrow.
"Non," he said simply, moving to shut the door in her face.
