I’m having post-Thing crash and I’m grumpy about it, but I found this snippet I wrote in the comments on TNOL and I don’t think(??) I ever posted it here, so, here it is.

Caleb was chewing on his cloak. Caleb was chewing on his cloak.

 “Caleb, please, I - Caleb, no, don’t - Caleb! This is highly unbecoming - no don’t look at me like that - help!?”

 This last, with an exasperated sigh, was directed at Jester, doubled over with laughter nearby, rather than down at the ovine creature that was at present attempting to digest his clothing. 

Jester managed to stifle her giggles, though her lilting voice was still thick with mirth.

“Esseeeeek, he liiikes you! You should totally give him pets, I bet he’s sooo soft.”

 “Jester. I cannot give Caleb pets.”

 “Sure you can! Just pat him on the head, you know? He won’t mind, Cayleb is very schnuggly as an animal.”

 Jester’s eyes were bright with mischief and her grin was sharp, and Essek knew he’d never hear the end of it - but if it would at least distract Caleb long enough to extract his cloak…

 The dense wool was spongy beneath his hand, and his fingers sunk surprisingly deep. The texture was odd, not as coarse as it first appeared - rather silky, in fact.

 Essek sighed. Jester was right. It was very soft.

Solar Eclipse Shadows

These solar eclipse shadows form due to the distance between the sun and the leaves on the trees. The distance and the proximity of the leaves to one another cause for a "lensing" type effect, making the eclipse shadow clearer to the human eye.

Happy Wednesday!! Today is the day - the last chapter and the epilogue of The Nature of Light are up. I hope you enjoy, and thanks for reading!

…Over the following days Beauregard holes herself up with Caleb and the Volstrucker by turns, spending hours sequestered. Caleb leaves these sessions ashen and distant, scratching at his arms. Astrid is ever aloof, appearing outside of mealtimes only infrequently, but she is never more stone-faced than when Beauregard has released her. The man – Essek learns his name is Wulf – turns out to have a knack for thatching, and spends the hours between interviews atop the roof of the Clay home with Cornelius and Calliope, pitching down charred bundles and lashing in new.

He also joins Essek in the garden, seeming comfortable in his skin bare-headed in the sun and bare-handed in the damp soil, tucking seedlings from the Clays’ greenhouse into freshly-dug beds.

“We were farmer’s children, you know. B- Caleb and Asa and me,” he says congenially one morning, as they work toward each other from opposite ends of a row, pulling weeds.

“Indeed,” says Essek, cloaked and rose-gloved beneath a ludicrously beribboned sunhat. “I was not.” Wulf barks a laugh, loud and genuine.

Wulf also flirts, in a bluff and genial way very different from Kingsley’s swaggering charm, with Fjord, with Jester, with Fjord, with Kingsley himself, with Veth and Yeza, with Fjord, and even once with Caduceus, who only laughs and tells him to find another tree.

He never flirts with Caleb, nor with Essek. With Caleb it is clear there is some history there which Wulf has no desire to stir up, but Essek is unsure why he has been spared, save that the afternoon after their return, when Essek had sought refuge from the brightest sun within the cool walls of the Clays’ temple-home, Wulf had ducked his head in while Caleb had been expounding on the principles of his Vault of Amber. Wulf had watched from the door for a moment, eyes on Caleb’s gesturing hands, and then caught Essek’s eye, winked, and disappeared.

The Volstrucker have been with them for three days when Beauregard pronounces herself satisfied with her gathered testimony, and the holiday atmosphere shifts. After dinner that night, over mugs of fragrant tea Essek now understands the nomenclature of and tumblers of Clay homebrew he swiftly learned to decline, the Nein begin to strategize…
