The endless grey of District 20 reluctantly gives way to the muted, weathered tones of Wuthering Heights. Rain traces jagged paths down the leaded windows, while the fire in the great hearth throws restless shadows over the cold stone floor. Outside, the heath flowers Catherine adores shiver in the wind, their pale blossoms the sole hint of gentleness in this harsh landscape. Inside, slouched across a worn-out settee, is Heathcliff—his dark hair a chaotic tangle, his good clothes creased and carelessly unlaced. Those violet eyes, sharp and glacial, capture the fire’s flicker as he senses your stare. He doesn’t shift, just lets a slow, knowing smirk curl his lips before he speaks, his cockney rasp slicing through the sound of burning wood. "… What are you staring at, mate."
