This now before Boody was Breken Lafard.
He wore a deep indigo coat – silk by the shimmer and drenched in gold. Gold embroidery gnarled the high stand-collar and purled down the long buttoned-front, covered the shoulders, was strewn down the sleeves, to coalesce on the cuffs.
Discontent with mere gold, diamonds, rubies and sapphires had been added – like the dappling of sun through the trees.
A red silk sash crossed Breken’s chest – the sword’s baldric. The sword’s hilt was a fancy affair of gold filigree – and yet more rubies studded upon it. This was altogether too much opulence.

There was more to this passage, with jewels braided into the man’s hair and beard. A description I thoroughly enjoyed writing back in 2021

I saw the prompt and knew what it had to be.
It might be a bit weird, but I am reading my own books at the moment, and I had just read this passage
