It makes perfect sense to me that dryads, anthousai, and other plantkin would be basically blind in the dark. Plenty of plants, particularly flowering plants, pretty much close up shop when the sun goes down. Whereas Tess is clearly based on a nocturnal snake species (given the normal shape of her pupils), who would have no trouble with darkness. But I bet she would not enjoy it if someone turns the A/C on full blast! I can't tell if Mira's uncertainty about personal space is a dryad thing, or if it's just her. But it's nice to see that she recognizes she got a little too close!

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, really appreciate it!! Very cool :D I'm aware that there are some flowers that only open at night, and Mira is some species of citrus so hopefully those aren't night-blooming ^^; I can't find anything on google specifically confirming this, but since night-blooming flowers aren't the norm I think if orange or mandarin flowers blossoms at night there'd be clear information about this, or at least less photos of them in direct sunlight. I hope!

Now this is the deep Mira lore we crave! Citrus flowers don't open or close with the sun, because that would be too much effort; citrus trees take life at a slower pace overall, with many large citrus fruits (especially large oranges and grapefruits) taking more than a year to ripen. However, the vast majority of their typical pollinators (honey bees, mostly) are very diurnal, so this still makes sense!

ooooh, fascinating, thank you!! How do you know this? Where on the internet can I look this sort of thing up?

And up to date! Finally, they get to actually TALK. While I did enjoy the shenanigans of Tess trying to avoid Mira all day, actually being able to air this all out is definitely the SMART thing to do. But then again, when are disaster-lesbians ever smart ;)

I just started by looking up photos of citrus flowers (they're pretty, by the way! Long and elegant). From there I mostly ended up on Wikipedia and gardening sites, which is where I learned that tidbit about ripening times. (I was surprised! You can tell this is a genus that evolved for climates that don't have winter. I didn't think it was possible to have a plant that still had ripening fruit into the next flowering season.) They also LOVE sunlight and don't much like shady conditions. Also, most citrus trees are apparently habitual self-pollinators, except for mandarins and other small orange types, but cross-pollination still helps all species. Not sure what this means for their dryads!

I'm so sorry Patreon is very bad at notifying me about comments within a comment chain (it only gives me notifications for top-level comments.) I'm sure I read wikipedia (and all the obvious gardening sites) but I must have missed the bit about orange flowers not wanting to spend the energy closing and opening ^^; Re: self-pollinating - I'm not giving different dryads different biology based on their particular plant (any plant-based differences are surface level/aesthetic, essentially.) In this setting dryads are a single-sex species who can have babies solo, or with any individual regardless of genitals :)
