Tyki Mikk stepped through it. He didn't bother to make himself look human, so his skin was dark and the crown was fully visible. He wore a top hat, his hair brushed back off of his forehead and tamed by the hat.

They were so much more convenient and less messy that he'd given up on loose tobacco almost completely, though he didn't like the flavour quite as much. He also loved his lighter.
