Bright-eyed, bright smile, windblown and disheveled, a little fevered, a little too fast. His eyes are the blue of a sky unknown to seasons and weather, and there are songs tangled up in his breath, sunset-colored feathers in his hair. His lithesome figure is nearly buried by the weight of his gleaming treasures, but chief among them is the Trillion Secrets Adytum, a crawling carriage of jade and gossamer-silk that contains a half-real library of stolen histories.
