They embraced fro a while. And when they understood each other once more, when they knew that the other knew what was best, they separated. They would know what they know, but trust was there.
When She Who Remembered went to look after the young, and those who remembered her. He would look around the hive, create an image an experience, then with that she would improve her role and he would improve the hive.
Here he sees as he exits his overpod. There are a number of other overpods connected to a similar structure, and there are guides and the rare scout, flowing through tunnels of vibrations held in place near nets and tubes. Yet where he is there is hardly any movement in the enviorment.
So he sees a large net with hanging tassles continuing throughout the hive, with the tassles and the net near the flow-tunnels. Distributing flow and impact throughout, and dampening it.
And the over-pods distributed, material sticking them to walls and structures within the hive. Some coming out of the bottom,but many connected to a number of nets, yet remaining still.
He reached for a net and tugged until a guide came. It had a large sail-glider, with sails made from the body of a beast, and string and materials holding them in a sort of shape. A net of tendril-fabric softened with plant on the inside, they could hold there, and wrap materials to be kept safe. So he wraps his "eyes" and they begin on their way.
He Who Carries is a guide who prefers little communication, but he requests a certain image and he obliques giving him a different sense of placement as they stop to view the workers' housing pods and the paths between them. Then he is shown and he shows the path an exit to the flow-tunnel, to a food processer. They take a path and adjust the tassels to better guide. He Who Carries trades for his food as payment. And they continue on their way.

He exits once more around the place of They Who Keep Time, a large structure of straight edges connected to an inner top of the hive. structure built to keep measure to move consistent come out of it. A soft pod connected with strings, one that is pulled by one within the Over-pod to keep track. but there is a disturbance, the flow reaching it is different than should be expected.
They who keep time welcome another, and though his sight is limited he looks over their structure to see if they are falling appear. They reach out and he communicates errors seen. And differences of the devices form memories of their construction. Others will be needed to fix this, but some in this pod know their mechanism, he hands them a shard and they pay him in thanks. The amount they pay him is more than normal but with their greater wealth, they have less thought for scarcity. He accepts their payment and continues on his way.
...
As he travels he decides to take a better look at a food processor his guide drops him out and leaves to other places, another shall pass this tassel soon. So the guide leave and he looks at the food processor.
A wide long pod, at the bottom of the hive, conected with structures and to the outside layer of the pod, wit hother delivering resources through the tunnels to storage centers. But above is an open pod with one on it's outside.
He reaches out, does He WHo Precesses Food have another designation?
He does not, but he focuses on food that will be preferred by They Who Count Time. They return greater wealth, and...
But what of the value for the hive?
They are valuable for the hive, and once processed the food can be acquired by any. It is simply that the nearest gathering are they.
He Who Sees made sure to remember this, She might want to know.
So he returned to the tassel, but on his way he say something conected to the bottom of this section of the hive, a small round object made of tendril-fabric he picked it up. Maybe she would remember this. And he continued on his way
