The staircase is spiral and made of stone. The stone is smooth and cold from years of friction. The staircase reaches multiple levels of the tower and is the only way up or down.

crow
scantily clad virgins
I am a virgin that has little clothes. I adore men. I love affairs.
Oh look, a crow. I hope it is friendly. I am trying to reach my lover down the stairs. Oh, hrm.  You look like you could use a few extra feathers there.  Humans always look so cold in their mostly bald forms.   I would think that crow is almost human. I fear it is a spy for the King. Spying, eh?  Should I be spying on you?  You seem pretty harmless, I think. Well, I guess a crow is just a crow. I can't wait to meet my newest lover, the Prince. Hmp.  You could do better.  I see him often when I'm a-wing - he always seems to have some new trollop with him. I am cold in this stairwell, I know its not far to the bottom. Maybe the Crow is stuck in here too. I... I might have gotten a little lost.  To be fair, I WAS a little distracted, chasing and scaring the new kitchen boy.  Goodness, could he scream! I am not sure but I think you laughed. If you are lost follow me, my Prince for the day is waiting. Oh boy, she's still hung up on this Prince fellow.  Well hopefully she doesn't take too long to figure out what a waste of time he is.  I suppose I'll see if she's better with directions than with choosing men. Follow me crow. I  am frozen in what little I wear but the better to attract men. I feel like this girl is a little naive... where are her parents, to keep her from making such a fool of herself?
