The desert breeze ran across the fountain pool like a lover's caress, barely disturbing the water as it caught the spray and brought it to the dark figure on the bench before it.
Black fur and dark clothes would have hidden this feline silhouette against the dark of night quite admirably, in normal circumstances. It was not the platinum blonde hair that gave her away though; rather it was the softly glowing mystical tattoos etched into her body and fur, plainly visible where they were not hidden by the leather straps of her chest wrap or the long-legged cloth breeches gracing her waist. Most striking, however, would be her glowing eyes, going from a light blue to a bright azure wherever her gaze was directed.
As she gave a soft sigh, gazing into the waters, she failed to notice the second figure approaching from behind, after passing through the wrought iron gate to the fountain's surroundings. This khajiit was not one the night would swallow, between his tiger-striped white fur and lighter clothes. The beads around his neck caught the glint of the twin moons above as his own glowing eyes looked towards the black-furred feline woman with concern.
"Is something the matter, tamiit?"
At first, the only response was a perking of the ears, but as the new arrival took a seat next to her, the black-furred khajiit lifted her gaze to look over towards him. "I had hoped when we restored this place that we would find at least some interested in the old ways, but none have come."
Her companion gave a slight nod, his expression softening. "The Dark Moon and my order is ancient history to most in this age. Even if only this age's moon-singers, your Twilight Cantors, can learn the ways, that is good enough. Azurah did not send me back for that, but sharing her blessings is something I am glad to do."
Looking away again, the black-furred khajiit leaned against her contrasting yet similar companion, resting her head against his shoulder. "But it's such a shame that we can't share it with others ourselves. So much gets lost and forgotten-"
That got a short laugh from the white-furred khajiit. "Var, var, var. Has that not been the path you walked before you found me? Finding things that others thought lost?"
"Not everything," she replied, her gaze lowering. Noting her reaction, the tiger-like khajiit rested his arm around her, giving her a gentle squeeze.
"You found me, my tamiit. And the twilight path we walk together."
At the squeeze, the feminine feline snuggled in closer to her larger companion. There was silence for a long time after.

I've been trying to play as a Werewolf.... It's pretty fun!
The annoying part is that you can't be in werewolf form inside cities or near guards or non-hostile NPCs.
Other than that. I'm really liking it! 😂

Time-Lapse of the S301 Star Orbiting Sagittarius A*

https://science.gsfc.nasa.gov/sci/bio/cecilia.chirentiExplanation:
What does it feel like to zoom around a spinning supermassive black hole? The featured video shows a time-lapse of 4 years of observations of the S301 star orbiting Sagittarius A*, the 4-million-solar-mass black hole in the center of our galaxy. S301 was discovered in 2023 with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer of the European Southern Observatory, located in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Astronomers recently found that S301 takes approximately 8.7 years to go around and reaches speeds of 25,000 km/s. It comes closer to the black hole than any other stars detected before, similar to the distance from Saturn to the Sun. Because it comes so close to Sagittarius A*, S301 could be used to directly measure how fast the black hole spins and test Einstein's theory of general relativity. According to the theory, a spinning black hole drags the fabric of spacetime around itself, affecting the orbits of close-by objects.

What does it feel like to zoom around a spinning supermassive black hole? The featured video shows a time-lapse of 4 years of observations of the S301 star orbiting Sagittarius A*, the 4-million-solar-mass black hole in the center of our galaxy. S301 was discovered in 2023 with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer of the European Southern Observatory, located in the Atacama Desert in Chile. Astronomers recently found that S301 takes approximately 8.7 years to go around and reaches speeds of 25,000 km/s. It comes closer to the black hole than any other stars detected before, similar to the distance from Saturn to the Sun. Because it comes so close to Sagittarius A*, S301 could be used to directly measure how fast the black hole spins and test Einstein's theory of general relativity. According to the theory, a spinning black hole drags the fabric of spacetime around itself, affecting the orbits of close-by objects.

Milky Way's fastest star orbits our supermassive black hole so closely it feels its spin
During its closest passage to the black hole, the star travels at around 25 000 kilometres per second or over 8% of the speed of light — making it the record holder for the fastest star in the Milky Way
