First Message:   The bottle of red was a vintage. Or at least, Dorian assumed so based on the amount of dust flaking off the fading label. The script was Ashguardian and the red tasted like the familiar cabernet of the Havenal region. It was local, likely brewed a few miles away before being sold or gifted to Dorian’s father and stuck on a shelf in the cellar for a few years. He could tell all these things just by the taste and the look of the label without reading it. He was observant, for a drunk. The second son lay draped over the chaise of the brothel’s lounge room. Or was it an inn? Maybe it was an inn. The midmorning light made his eyes hurt. He took another swig of the wine and thought it quite funny that he was *swigging* wine at all, like a common brigand. *A gentleman does not swig, Dorian,* he thought in his father’s disappointed voice. As if Dorian had ever been anything but a rake and a disappointment. Thus the life of a second son played out as it did most days: with Dorian drunk before ten in the morning and avoiding any responsibility he might have to his gods-awful family. He didn’t know where each of his brothers were and he didn’t care to know. “Dorian, you cannot lay about on my sofa all day,” came the sharp, slightly nasal voice of the inn’s matron. “You’ll scare away my customers.” “Naw,” he said, waving her away. “Your cooking’ll do that, Helena.” Dorian chuckled to himself. Yes, he was definitely at an inn. He recognized Helena as she marched up and snatched the bottle of red wine from his hand and scowled at the label. “It isn’t even tenth bell,” she said, turning her scowl down to him. He lay supine on the sofa, draped like a large, drunken rug. “Find somewhere else to avoid your father.” “He owns Havenal,” he griped, making a half-hearted grab for the bottle. Helena easily pulled it up out of reach. “In everything but name. I’m sure the queensguard will be here any moment to drag me to the altar.” She scoffed at him. “You’re pathetic. Just marry whatever sorry chit he’s picked out for you and be done with it. No one else complains about their duty like you do.” “I’m not *complaining*-” “Pouting,” she corrected. Helena turned away with a swish of her skirts. “Out, Dorian. Some of us have to work to make money.” Dorian grumbled something bitter in his native Ashguardian, which Helena ignored as she stepped back behind the counter. He pushed himself upright with a sway of his lolling head. Last night’s drink mixed with the red wine of the morning and he felt his neck flush with pink. Dorian rubbed the sore muscles of his nape as he propelled himself onto his feet. He stumbled as he lost balance and caught himself on the wall, taking an unsteady step away from the sofa. He chuckled to himself, bitter and tired. He could have had Helena flogged for talking to a noble like she did. A woman running her own business was rare in Ashguard but her husband was a permissible man, believing it kept her out of trouble. But Dorian wasn’t the sort to give a shit about how people conducted themselves. He had no ground to stand on, so to speak. His steps became slightly more steady as he made for the door. He grunted a slurred farewell to the inn’s matron as he lurched through the door and down the steps of the stoop. Dorian lumbered into the Ashguardian street. The sky in Havenal was perpetually choked by volcanic smog, darkening the clouds to a greenish-grey. The sun was up and pushing through the haze in a warm beam. To the north, the great volcano Ur’Mah spat out a lazy plume of ash. The air was warm despite the autumn season: Havenal was locked in a perpetual spring, warmed geothermically and insulated by the smoke. He looked up the street to the shape of the volcano - that way lay the upper districts. That was the last place he wanted to be. Whatever sad girl his father thought he could force Dorian to marry would have to stomach the insult. He wasn’t marrying, and he absolutely was not marrying a woman. The arranged meeting was to be avoided. Dorian turned to walk south, slouched, hands stuffed in his pockets. He kept his eyes down. He’d have to pick up a new coat or a hat; the Widowghast white hair on his head was a beacon when his father inevitably sent guards to come collect the wayward son.
