“I lack,’ said Laurent, ‘the easy mannerisms that are usually shared with,’ you could see him pushing the words out, ‘a lover.’ ‘You lack the easy mannerisms that are usually shared with anyone,’ said Damen.”

DID YOU NOT HEAR ME? I SAID STIRRING DROWSILY, LAURENT MADE A SOFT, UNTHINKING SOUND OF PLEASURE THAT DAMEN WAS GOING TO REMEMBER FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. AND THEN LAURENT WAS BLINKING SLEEPILY, AND DAMEN WAS WATCHING LAURENT GROW AWARE OF HIS SURROUNDINGS AND COME AWAKE IN HIS ARMS. HE WASN’T SURE HOW IT WOULD BE, BUT WHEN LAURENT SAW WHO WAS BESIDE HIM, HE SMILED, THE EXPRESSION A LITTLE SHY BUT COMPLETELY GENUINE. DAMEN, WHO HADN’T BEEN EXPECTING IT, FELT THE SINGLE PAINFUL BEAT OF HIS HEART. HE’D NEVER THOUGHT LAURENT COULD LOOK LIKE THAT AT ANYONE

One thing about researching world around you is that it becomes a bit friendlier once you know it better. If you see a random spider- you get scared. You see plants and consider them just weeds. You look at night sky and see a bunch of stars.

And then, you learn names.

Now, it is an orbweaver, and you consider them a friend. The greenery around is a laurel, or an alium, or osmanthus, and you know which of them to keep away from, and which of them are great herbs for tea. Now, you look up and see a whole parade of Venus, Ursa Major, or Orion. You now know their names, and, if you respect them- they become allies of yours.

Eventually became this blobby thing:

And then i added water + tension.... And voilà!

Next goal is to embroider the traces between the constellations. Pattern is "Celestarium" by Audrey Nicklin on Ravelry.
