they advise to change. they advise to move on. but like the soil, the minerals, the strength still holding strong underneath adrian's limbs, they persist.

i understood the true fate of orpheus, that love is a constant terror of loss.

@estralios different chords and melodies for different meanings. it would be bad if wrong song is shared or wrong dance by accident.

[the eridian shudders at the thought of it. horror! and very very embarrassing.]

eden not prioritize mates? must be very lonely, question?

@onepatronsaint [airy humming begins as they run a claw delicately over simon's hair.]

adrian will not betray trust. now rest. sleep for as long as simon can.

[— 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 ɪɴ ʙᴇʟɪᴇғ | LIMITED @ATAPASTRON]

@onepatronsaint always happy to have simon close by and resting with adrian.

adrian will sing lullaby. keep watch over simon, promise.

@onepatronsaint [croons happily. there will be new breakthroughs in eridian technology and science. time is not a worry. yet.]

simon is very welcome. but we can start tomorrow. (rest) first, statement.

@onepatronsaint adrian too. stories can hold emotions. sing of sorrow, of first eggshell crack and cluster wonder. tablets better for data and research.

[soft huff of laughter.]

rocky, grace, and adrian can teach. adrian, grammar and formal notes. rocky best with everyday and fun words.

@onepatronsaint storytelling is important for development of pebbles. also good for sharing history. tablets can be lost. eroded. songs are easily passed on even if old and boring to pebbles with too much energy.

simon have many many more years. count in eridian for best number, please.

@bIoodinfects simon care. so adrian care. so if simon talks, adrian will listen.

[— 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 ɪɴ ʙᴇʟɪᴇғ | LIMITED @ATAPASTRON]

@bIoodinfects now. trauma was often linked. they think pain is a common language even if unfortunate.]

adrian cannot say they fully understand but they can try. hard to ignore cruel words from before but simon deserves adrian's friendship, statement. no ifs, ands, buts. just (is).

[— 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 ɪɴ ʙᴇʟɪᴇғ | LIMITED @ATAPASTRON]

@onepatronsaint adrian has written stories for pebbles and have sung many older stories as well. will make sure simon has his fill of it!

grace and simon will be given honors when. . .final rest comes. but not any time soon, statement. no need to think about it yet, statement. promise.

[— 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 ɪɴ ʙᴇʟɪᴇғ | LIMITED @ATAPASTRON]

@bIoodinfects change, statement! adrian will help. give simon all the soft nesting things and watch to keep predators away.

simon will get used to (wanting). and (having).

[— 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 ɪɴ ʙᴇʟɪᴇғ | LIMITED @ATAPASTRON]

@bIoodinfects to think someone could ever harm a pebble barely past the hatchling age without a care. no matter what happens, the young continues a species' path forward. how could simon's humans not know that? adrian stamps a limb down, vents exhaling heatedly.]

@onepatronsaint young and was (hurt).

this is not (dumping). this is sharing and it is an honor to be given, statement.

pebble stories are meant to protect. bring joy and hope. adrian will share with simon pebble stories.

@onepatronsaint eridians also become part of erid after. different cities, different terrains, many rituals. but all return.

[a mournful whine as they shake a limb in an approximation of 'no, no'.]

simon need not apologize. adrian does not know what Consolidation is but know simon was pebble

[— 𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘺 ɪɴ ʙᴇʟɪᴇғ | LIMITED @ATAPASTRON]

@estralios interesting interesting interesting! adrian wants to know!

eridians also use songs for rituals. good for mood setting and checking harmony between love mates and potential cluster mates.

simon share more human examples, question?
