Indeed, sympathy pricked at the hearts of men and it was hard for anyone not to find her captivating. Her eyes glittered like stars in the night. Her cream-colored tresses were warm and soft, her expression looked doe-like. She could bring stone cherubs to weep along with her. It was as if a choir was behind her, haloing her in light.

"Oh!" Cosette said opening one of the small bags he had been allowed to bring.

Asterias felt his eyes narrow as his shackles started to clatter.

"Asterias!" He barked out.

"Cosette. Drop it."
