cameo for now!

 It was like holding a delicate honeycomb in the palm,
only to have some rancourous boy slap your fist and feel the substance fall through the gaps of your fingers.

Astraeus watched the traitorous backs of the jaundiced man and the woman he assumed he must have finessed to come with him, if Mahler had given her an ultimatum it meant her loyalty had lain with him hours before the epoch of Sagtannet winked out of existence. Wylla's pledge to leave, Stag's dispirited faith, Takiyok's abandonment —
this wouldn't have happened if Taikon knew the role of a subordinate. Democracy was essential to their society the boy learned then, but the lack of respect would never be tolerated. He notes this down in his inner textbook for future reference. 
He also irons the fine lines of Taikon's features and his retreating figure to his mind.

He would watch the Sagtannet diaspora.
