Oh no! I'm quite certain Orpine herself is significant somehow. I 
believe she is Blood's daughter (thus a connection to Mucor), but I 
think there is more than that. Her murder was prophesied in Silk's first 
enlightenment, but then she appears in his second enlightenment on his 
wedding night.

Well, I'm not comfortable agreeing or disagreeing with this 
explanation-- or in anyway suggesting I know what these dreams mean. 
What's worse, they might mean more than one thing. But Silk taking Hy 
and Orpine to a grave of stars could mean many things, I think. 
Essentially, it connects them anything outside the Whorl. It could 
potentally mean that Orpine and Hyacinth are _destined_ to for Blue or 
Green. I really don't know nearly enough about Orpine. I just need more 
facts or an overall theory that can be confirmed or disputed.
