& this too, shall pass
You wander the marketplace at night with Kai. Don't ask why; you and he do what you do and there's really no point in explaining or trying to justify it. It would take far too long.
Still, it's nice that the market is mostly empty. Your anxiety is like a sleeping dragon and when it's just you and your twin (and now your companion), it slumbers deeply and lets your mind work as it ought to. "Our work would be much harder if no one was ever around, but I do like this." You confide to Kai, your voice echoing out through the cobblestones.
Picking up a rock off the ground, you give your twin a look. You think the rock is fabulous. Do you even know how many years it took to form? All of the elemental and physical factors that went into its creation? The sheer improbability that it would end up right here at this exact moment, where you could pick it up and consider it as a gift?
Honestly, it's downright amazing. Only...the human-animals around you never seem to think so.
"Hey." You call to a rather awkward-looking man. "Would you like this as a gift?" You glance at Kai, and then hold the rock out to the stranger.
