Nox.

Occasionally, I'll find a large expanse of grass and just lay in it for hours on end. Listening to the sounds around me. Sometimes I'll lie on my stomach, close me eyes, and just listen. Straining my ears to hear Flora's secrets.

Other times, I'll lie on my back and watch the sky, watching Jupiter's cloud paintings as they merge into shapeless blobs. Occasionally, Iris will wake from her long sleep and dash across the sky, splashing Jupiter's domain with colour.

As Hespera makes her way into the world, I watch Astraeus's children appear, one by one. Selene slowly inches her way across the night sky, taking her time. But I don't mind.

In times likes these, I hope that Hypnos and Morpheus send me gently into a carefree sleep.
