Ever since I read a book on fieldwork in Ethiopia’s volcanic regions that described insects turning into stone before the geologist’s eyes demonstrating a sort of instant fossilisation in a silica rich volcanic hot spring, I have been searching for a decent photo of the phenomenon to share this cool story with you.

“You asked me, and before you say if you did say indeed words, whether in writing or in speech that simply never reached my ears, I take this moment then not to be certain, for I need you to hear this knowing that I am uncertain of the world that awaits me when I finish speaking.

“You spoke to me of honor, honor to me means something deep and profound. It is the pursuit of what is right when circumstances are against you. It is the doing of what is good and noble when the world conspires to prevent you from it, and in that sense I have never lived an honorable day. Every service I have done has been the path of least resistance. Every suffering of mine has been because I feared and feared greatly: to disappoint, to earn scorn. Each day I have been a coward. And seeing you in this Bloom, I have seen true bravery, without which there can be no honor.

“So, if you would let me, act with honor for the first time in my life, I would ask you for your hand, and for a kiss.

“You are beautiful beyond words, braver than the morning sun which dispels the night. There is one injury of yours that must be amended. You said that you felt alone. Never here. Not while I draw breath. I renounce the Goblin Court in its entirely and foreswear all oaths of loyalty to king and kin. If you are orphaned, then so am I, and you will never know a lonely day again, as long as I draw breath.

If you see this, dont forget: there will always be a gemini out there somewhere that's proud of you and loves you to absolute smithereens. In every universe and alternate timeline. Whether either of us wants that or not.

Am I hypersensitive? Am I persistent? Damn it… Natural high, like in the mountains, high up. Where are you, Mount Everest? Give me some Everest.
