0:29.7	support.
0:42.9	In a distant arm of the galaxy, there is a planet called Cantharus, whose name means a drinking
0:52.8	goblet, or a cup that overflows. The planet is covered in green forests, but it's not these
1:05.0	woods that gave Cantharus its name. Not the thousand varieties of sweet-cented, bitter-barked
1:14.0	alien trees. Not the flowering vines, nor was it the gold-vained ferns that inspired the naming

2:32.5	It grows amidst dark trees, which offset its pale golden colour, so that when you stumble across
2:42.4	one in the woods, it always seems to be illuminated with warm, soft sunlight.
2:52.0	It grows tall, sometimes up to 20 feet, and its figure curves gently, like a flared wine glass,
3:03.9	or a blooming rose. It feels warm to the touch when you rest the palm of your hand against it.
3:17.0	When you draw near, you discover that it gives off a scent of crumbling,
3:22.8	malted grain, or brown sugar sprinkled over buttered toast. If eaten fresh from the woods,
3:36.3	the angel's cup tastes faintly of lemon, or more accurately, lemon cake.
