    Summary

    “Strohl.... Do you trust me?”

    “With every fiber of my being,” Strohl replied all too quickly. He felt his face flush a bit. He cleared his throat a bit to ease his nerves.  “Why do you ask?”

    “I think I may have an idea that could... help. Can you close your eyes?”

    It's only been a few days since they left the Eldan Sanctum, and to say Strohl was struggling with the recent changes... Well, that would be putting it mildly. He desperately wants to get past this hang-up, and Will wants to bridge the gap that's formed between them. Thankfully, Will has always been a creative problem solver - and although Strohl doesn't know it, this may solve two of his problems at once.

    Summary

    "Perhaps it was just another act of that desire for freedom when she grasped his hand in hers and bared her soul so starkly. She knows he likely did not understand the gravity of the gesture, of her words. Yet her feckless heart still dares to dream, still craves those little moments of freedom between them. The warmth of him beside her during his meditation lessons. The sound of his laughter, so filled with sweetness, with light. The brief, accidental brush of his fingers on hers as they fold the laundry or do the dishes together. Small, simple moments stitched together in her memories as much as her hopes and dreams - a mosaic of little encounters, with Will at its centre. To her, he is freedom incarnate."

    In which Eupha faces her fears.

    Summary

    Hermes feels a certain way whenever someone visits him—this botanist, a researcher in Elpis. They’re very nice, but Meteion knows that Hermes likes them a lot. Perhaps like-likes them, because his heart races and he feels as warm as the sun whenever that botanist visits.

    But Meteion begins to notice that the visitor seems to feel very much the same as Hermes—in asking him what that feeling is called, she reveals as much to him. That feeling called ‘love’.

    Summary

    You’ve always been fond of dusk, the warm weather cools from the lasting heat of the afternoon and beautiful colors mix in the sky, giving everything an almost ethereal glow. However, as you look on at Elliott, you’re quick to realize no sunset could compare to the sight before you.

    (And Elliott is supposed to be the poetic sappy one, you muse to yourself.)

    Or,

    You're struck by how beautiful Elliott is in the sunset light.
