I love how the snippet about the stars really conveys Alexios' fondness for them in an understated way and gives this insight into his personality, his curiosity and wonder.
The bit about Placidus is lovely, the water is fluid like fortune in life, and Placidus is constantly concerned with appearances, how others perceive him and how he does, and he goes to look at the surface of the water and the reflection - perfect.
And Alexios coming home is so touching and lyrical!
