Prior always faced the change in weather with dread. One of the blessings of the island was that the climate was overall good for his immune system. He'd had bronchitis on the island once, and pneumonia another time, both during that small window of winter.
And as soon as he saw the real change that the island had undergone - the time period in particular - his first thought had been, well fuck, maybe I'll just be getting the consumption instead. How very dramatic.
His second thought was that the clothes were amazing.
Though he'd been trying not to be outdoors too much, he couldn't resist the opportunity to do a little exploring. And so dressed to the nines - a well-tailored suit with a lavender cravat and top hat with matching trim - he made his way through the streets of London. Though the best part of his ensemble was definitely the cane that had replaced his usual one - it was carved out of what seemed like ebony, and the knobbed handle glittered like a diamond. Sequins be damned.
Only... the dread returned as soon as he took another step and took a breath. And felt a wheeze. And then started to cough, having to stop and lean a hand against a nearby wall to brace himself as he bore through the coughing fit. The top hat toppled to the ground at his feet.
