There was a bed, and a house - a big one, a mansion - and servants to keep it clean, but he'd never really gotten the hang of houses. They were part of a life that, now, only surfaced occasionally, in brief flashes on the edge of waking. He slept, for preference, on rooftops, in the sun, on the drier layers.

Memory, now, was in scars. Knives, broken bottles, bullets, a few arrows. More than most could survive, but the Lodger skewed odds in his favor. Brief flashes of fights long gone, brushing against skin torn and mended twice over.
