Possibly it was the view of the passage, unobscured by the thick growth of interwoven branches in a manner that had elicited a startled response when first noted. Or it may simply have been how his mind moved in similar patterns.
Some part of him had distantly whispered it would be the plaster lined walls bearing a cool shade of blue he would awaken to, disappointment leaving a bitter taste upon his tongue as he made note of the carved niche.

Among the rising tide bearing a foam lacing would be his brother, if not preoccupied by other activities. It was not for such Winston stood upon the creaking assemblance of boards strung between each abode, however, the quiet hum of conversation as preparations were made drawing him forth on unsteady legs.
He could not speak of how long it was he was among the merchants, bright their voices though the hour he had begun was rather early, pity taken upon the lost child as he peddled the few belongs brought with him.

Aloft was held a single needle, the moss hued depths squinted near to entirely closed, tongue a pale point poking out between his dark lips, his concentration unwavering as he set about threading the needle.
