The water catches the creature's aquamarine bioluminescence and casts a soft circle of reflected light onto the stone ceiling above. Through the open doorway, the flagstone path leads downhill past the empty stone bench toward the distant well. The room is becoming a home — one imported object, one mug of water from elsewhere, and everything is different.
