[h1][color=royalblue]Baldwin[/color][/h1] [hr] [indent][b][i]November 18, 11:03 PM East Commons, Baldwin's Residence[/i][/b][/indent] Baldwin's head throbbed as he turned over in his red-riddled sheets, tangled like a beast in a thicket. The scent of chemical cleaner and feathers hit his nose and his heart stopped for a moment, compelling him to spring back off his bed with a growl. The familiar silhouette of Kantus' avian form in the darkness put him at ease. He still stuttered and scoffed all the same, straightening his back with a series of loud clicks. [color=royalblue]"K-Kantus, you fffffff-... fool of a bird! I've told you that skulking around is no way to my heart, have I not?"[/color] He said with a slowly lowering tone of surprise. He managed half a sigh before reaching for his ruined sheets. It had only just occurred to him that he was stark naked, and while he was comfortable, courtesy was to be remembered when addressing a guest. Invited or not. Baldwin pushed his hair back and huffed, looking his company up and down silently. He held the concerned look for a moment before turning to his bedside and dropped the sheets once more to light a candle before sitting back down and covering up.
