“Hey kid, be careful with that thing. Wouldn’t want to be tempted and all that…” Karl sinks onto the grass beside Orlando, who is holding out the ring on the palm of his hand and tilting it to catch the light.
“Yeah,” Orlando sounds faraway, ancient, and for a moment Karl can see exactly what Peter saw in him to cast this skinhead boy as an elf. Then with a flicker of eyelashes Orlando resurfaces and closes his fist, grinning at Karl. “It’s an inanimate object, mate. That’s not what tempts me.” There is fire and challenge in his eyes.
