First and Second
are immensely curious concerning the new variety of floating nodes now occupying
the surface of their planet, and the Keyanna node is a fine specimen who seems
as willing to converse with them as the new fixed node of their own kind their
convention assumes they will parent, a node that somehow took on the structure and
memories of the once floating node Sha Haisat.
They are aware Sha
and Keyanna consider each other as prime edges, that the relationship endures
beyond the mysterious conversion of Sha from a floating node to fixed node is a thing of great
fascination for them. As the days of
Keyanna’s retreat run on awaiting Sha to mature enough to speak with her
directly they hold many conversations encapsulated within Keyanna’s dreams, it
seems a polite thing to them, to leave
her waking hours free to tend to her survival, and to contemplate what she’s
learned... where they learn so much as well.
Lovely. A little thick around the ankles and lower legs, but that hair and those aureoles burn with non-consuming fire. (And it's interesting that her womanhood is so "faded out" that we really can't see it at all. Is there something in that?) So when do we see Keyanna's story go on?
ReplyDelete*chuckle* Writing story around the edges of the other projects underway... a fair amount to figure out for these conversations, after all, First and Second are both full mature nodes, give or take 5000 orbits... and human nodes are brand new to them. What would you ask Keyanna if you were in their position? The concept of sleep they understand, but dreams? And there is a distinct difference in the thought patterns of the Keyanna node and Sha, they are clearly part of a divided species, and yet across that divide they consider themselves as prime edge? Curious it is, and curious they are ;-)
DeleteIt's not surprising that First and Second wouldn't understand dreams. We don't really understand them ourselves. Contact with alternate realities? Our subconscious wishing or trying to tell us something? Random neurons firing in our brains? Who can say?
