| [It's not the library bookshelves but the deep fireplace that is the focus of this Conan's attention. He's sitting a few metres away from the lit wood, watching the interplay of the flame and feeling the heat on his body. It's a necessary reminder that he's there, that he's alive -- but it doesn't reach within.
Lost in his thoughts, this new arrival to the mansion continues to watch the flames. Fire has taken on a new meaning since the camping trip but tonight he doesn't shy away. He simply watches and reflects.
He could be here awhile.] |
