An Arcadion fighter Tyrant is licking an Ishgarding Lordling's ear while he is taking a couple selfie. Huyr Lordling looks at the phone screen flabbergasted and Tyrant has a sneaky look.
Still loving this pic I took for the comic. Merwin is not great with the direct confrontation. So he ran himself out of the situation before you could say "Hail to the King". Btw the phone was Alexois' phone (snickering)

The Painfully Ishgardian Lordling got his hands on his (missing) butler's Tomestone. Oh, but what is this? The poor lad doesn't really know how to use the device, but worry not! One of the Arcadion fighter comes and saves the day...?

"Really? A zipper shirt?"
Cute friends/roommates doing silly things together → and kissing?

The Elezen butler hands a drink to his lord who is sitting comfortably in his chair. As the butler gives him the drink, his free hand gently brushes the lord's hand and this doesn't go unnoticed. Lord's cheeks are turning red as he looks at his butler, who doesn't feel any shame for being direct with his hints.
Is there anything else you wish for, m'lord?

A lordling smiles wonderfully upwards. I wonder who he might look at?
Merwin is back! But oh the woes, I must return to my bedchamber because tomorrow is another work day and I must rest my weary body early tonight. Yet look at his smile, isn't he a lovely lordling?

to the hush of the morning
so this is the sound of you
here and now whether or not
anyone hears it this is
where we have come with our age
our knowledge such as it is
and our hopes such as they are
invisible before us
untouched and still possible

ELEGY FOR A WALNUT TREE Old friend now there is no one alive who remembers when you were young it was high summer when I first saw you in the blaze of day most of my life ago with the dry grass whispering in your shade and already you had lived through wars and echoes of wars around your silence through days of parting and seasons of absence with the house emptying as the years went their way until it was home to bats and swallows and still when spring climbed toward summer you opened once more the curled sleeping fingers of newborn leaves as though nothing had happened you and the seasons spoke the same language and all these years I have looked through your limbs to the river below and the roofs and the night and you were the way I saw the world
“Elegy for a Walnut Tree,” W.S. Merwin

This #Merwin poem has been anchoring the essay I've been working on (for a year!), and I can't get it out of my head:
