Ten-Nank watches Jingyi, head moving, in a more deliberate way than previous. But they make another movement, one that causes their seating to rock for it - they sit up, giving more height, but also replacing the relaxed posture to one more attentive.

Every planet, every system, has what you can call different rules for how they exist. How your being suffers due to these differences. It also helps to keep your tether strong, while you are away from the voidcraft. This--"
