Leareth carries his own plate over, and then sits and leans on her. "I would really like a vacation, that is an excellent idea." 

"I'm very clever."

"You are! I am a lucky man, to have such a clever wife." 

"Custom-soul-intensified for you. I have been imagining you as having a naturally spiky soul or something."

"Spiky, huh. Am I a spiky person in general?"

"Yes, I think so."

"Then I suppose I am very fortunate to have someone whose spikes fit together with mine." He kisses her hair, and starts eating. :What sorts of things do you want to do on our vacation?: he adds in Mindspeech. 

:Oh, second helpings of dessert and spending all morning in bed:

:Oh, excellent. ...You know, I am not sure I have ever been this relaxed before. I suppose having my very own god centred right here makes me feel very safe: Yawn. :Unfortunately it seems that right now, being relaxed is mostly resulting in sleepiness: 

:That's okay. We're going to spend all morning in bed, you see: She is less tired. When they have finished eating she will scoop him.

Ooh, lovely! 

Yes. And then as much sleep as they want. And spending all morning in bed.

She has such a relaxed happy contented Leareth right now, and eventually he's even a less tired Leareth. 

An excellent Leareth variety.

His god can now talk to anyone in the north and this seems to be keeping Them amused, so Leareth and Belrun are undisturbed by a bored adolescent god unless they want to be. 

:...They said you spoke to Them about choosing a name: Leareth says at some point, while they're snuggling tangled up together, with the remains of breakfast-in-bed nearby. :Did you have any ideas?: 

:Not on the level of word, just theme:

Leareth looks thoughtful for a while. :Their theme in the Foresight metaphor, the city: which turns out to include many other kinds of detail if you go in closer or deeper, :is very much - things-built-by-people, for people, to make their lives better. I suppose the god Themself is a thing-built-by-people, and - one that gives us more options for future building and growth and flourishing. But I do not think 'City' seems right as a name, hmm... What are some things people build where the entire purpose is to enable more in the future? ...Schools, I suppose, but the god is not exactly here to teach us...: 

:Plows... libraries... these are maybe a little too on the nose. More abstractly, bridges? Ladders? Trellises?:

:Ooh, I like ladder or trellis. To climb higher, metaphorically speaking... I think 'Trellis' is more poetic. What do you think?: 

:Yeah, it is:

:Well, I will ask Them what they think: And he reaches out to the god; one of the things They're capable of now that they're bigger and a little older is group Mindspeech (or analogous to Mindspeech) links. 

:What would you think of 'Trellis' as a name? Belrun thought of some options and that one was my favourite: 

Pause. Thinking. The god feels a little different now than before the final stage, but not in nearly as drastic a way as with the first set of growing-up changes; just bigger, mostly, and a bit less confused.

Belrun, what are the associations that 'Trellis' would bring to mind for you?

:Growing plants? Like beans and grapes:

Do you think it is a name that would give other humans an accurate perception of what I am like and what I am aiming for?

:It might take some explaining but you will in general take some explaining:
