Almyra slowly began to find herself growing tired, it was probably getting fairly late. She stopped meditating and stood, turning to face Soraka. "You offered to let me stay for the night. Would you please show me where it is I will sleep?"

Soraka snaps out of her trance and looks to Almyra.
"Ah, yes it is getting late. Sorry, I lose track of time when I am out here. Usually Orion has to start bugging me when he wants to go to bed."
She then stands and slaps the sand off of herself. While doing so, she turns around, looking for her cat.
"Orion, here kitty kitty!"
A small orange blur emerges from the plants and starts rubbing against Soraka's legs. She bends down and picks him up. She then starts walking back in the direction of her hut.
"I will set up a bed for you to sleep in."

"Thank you, I'll help set it up."
She walked along next to Soraka. As they walked, a luna moth fluttered around them. Almyra smiled at it, remembering some of the first lessons she learned.

They reach the Starchild's home after a short walk. Upon reaching the hut, the small cat starts squirming and meowing in her arms. She sets him down and he starts pawing and scratching at the door. Soraka laughs at this and opens the door and the cat runs in. She walks in, closing the door behind her guest. She then flips the switch next to her bed, turning on a floor lamp in the corner. The cat is too small to jump on the bed, meowing and clawing at the blankets hanging down.
"Patience Orion."
She picks up the cat and places it on her bed. Then she gets on her knees and reaches under her bed. Pulling out a few single mattresses stacked on top of each other.
"Pick out which ever one is your favorite, I am going to get you some things out of the linen closet."
She then goes over to the closet next to the washroom and opens it. She starts digging into it, pulling out an assortment or sheets, blankets, and pillows.

Almyra simply takes the mattress on the top, since it was easiest. She moves it over to a location out of the way, then slides the stack back under the bed. She stands up and pets the cat, if it tried to play with her hands at all, she would just continue petting it and playing with it while she waited for Soraka to get what she would out of the closet. Once Soraka had everything, Almyra stopped petting the cat and walked over to her, offering to take what she had pulled out.

Orion rolls onto his back when Almyra starts petting him. He stretches and begins purring loudly, almost like a motor. When she stopped, Orion turned and meowed a complaint. He tried to slap at her when she walked away.
"Mmmmrroooooooww."
Soraka gives Almyra half of the things she pulled out of the closet. She then walks to the bare mattress and drops everything she is holding. She then pulls out the sheet and begins to place it on the mattress.
"I pulled out a few blankets for you, it gets a little chilly at night. The sea breeze takes out all of the warmth in the air."

Almyra smiles slightly at the cat's protest as she walks over to Soraka. Then, once given her half of the blankets, she carries it over to the mattress and begins to help Soraka put them on. She spoke to Soraka as they worked, rhyming again. "I will be able to sleep this night through, but there is something else I wish to tell you: If there is any way that I may repay the kindness you showed me, I will gladly do it to a reasonable degree."

Soraka places the final blanket on the mattress. She pulls it neatly to rid it of any wrinkles and make it flat.
"Oh no of course not. I never ask payment for my services. I have more than enough for myself and all the people I care for. All I ask is if you see anyone in need, send them my way."
She then fluffs up both of the pillows and stacks them neatly on top of each other.
"Alright it seems to be ready, if anything meets to your displeasure be sure to let me know."

Almyra nodded and bowed her head slightly in thanks. "You are ever generous. The strings, it seems, have been pulled in my favor. The sting of the bee was a gift of fate. Sleep well this night, Soraka, and every night." Without waiting for a response, she climbed into her bed. It was much more comfortable than she was used to, though it would still take her some time to fall asleep, as it was quite a process for her to still her thoughts enough to sleep.

The Starchild smiled as her guest got into bed. It has been a while since a stranger has shown her this much kindness. She walks to her bed and sits on it, and the cat instantly jumps on her while purring loudly. She undoes her hair from it's usual ponytail, wavy in parts where a band was clasped. She places the clasps on the nightstand next to her bed. Soraka then picks up the still purring cat with one arm while she gets up to turn off the light. After she turns off the switch she gets back into her bed and under the covers. Orion finds his usual spot under her arm while she pulls up the blankets over them both. She looks at the stars one last time then closes her eyes and falls almost instantly off to sleep.

Almyra would wake up early the next day. She would climb from under the covers and sit on the mattress until Soraka awoke, she figured that the least she could do for Soraka would be to help clean up after her visit. She also wanted to give a proper farewell, besides that, breakfast was quite tempting.

Soraka awoke to a small weight on her chest and the feeling of a paw on her cheek. Every morning was like this, Orion would sit on her chest and slap at her face to wake her when he wanted to get out of bed. She opened her eyes slightly, orange fur in her field of vision. She chuckled at this and scratched the cat under his neck.
"Good morning Orion."
"Mroooooooow"
The Starchild sat up, picking up the cat in the process. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed and hopped down. Her hooves clunked as she landed. She set Orion down, who immediately ran to the door. She started walking to the door and turned to her guest, who was already awake.
"Oh good morning! Did you wait long? Orion wakes me when he needs to go out."
Soraka then walks to the door and opens it. Orion darts outside and into the bright morning.

Soraka shakes her head.
"Oh no, don't feel obligated to wait just because I was sleeping. Will you stay for breakfast, I can make you something?"
She then sits back on her bed and runs her fingers through her long white hair. She grabs the brush and bands off of her nightstand. The Starchild then begins to brush her hair.
"My hair used to be black once. And I used to be beautiful, can you believe that?"
The cruelty of one will not blind me of the suffering of many.
Almyra tilted her head slightly. "Sleep is necessary, though, I would not want to deprive you of it. If you want me to, I will stay for breakfast. She watched Soraka as she brushed her hair. Almyra had not done so, it remained an untidy mess of black on her head. "What makes you believe you are not beautiful?"
