chaos...

[Shion joined chaos at one of the Elsa's windows. For a moment, she stood next to him silently, watching the stars outside. They seemed frozen in place, despite the fact that the ship was moving.

She had started to say something, then lost her nerve it seemed. After a pause, she went another route entirely.]

It's interesting, isn't it? How different the sky is out here... Yet it's the same sky we'd see back on Second Miltia.

[ It's incredible! It's rare! It's a lunar eclipse and happens to be awesome. That's what Megamind's out watching for it, ready to make some memories and maybe get some pictures with his fancy-dancy night-time camera, made for low-light exposures and astral bodies. ]

[ Also, he might be trying to impress somebody. Maybe. Just possibly. A little bit. (Totally.) ]

[chaos smiled and nodded at Shion as she joined him at the window. While seeing the stars like this wasn't quite the same as viewing them on Earth, it was still rather..nostalgic. He noticed her change in topic, but said nothing of it. He wasn't one to force people to talk about things.]

It is because we are viewing it from a different perspective. While the stars shall always be the same in space, where you are looking at them helps shape your view of them.

[In her centuries of life, she'd seen many a lunar eclipse. Even so, she never stopped appreciating them. Tooth was taking a moment to enjoy the spectacle when someone catches her eye.

Is that man blue? Oh, it doesn't surprise her! She knows a 6'1" rabbit, after all. It certainly is new though, even for her, and she finds herself curious. The fairy flits over and in the process bursts any personal bubble he may have hoped to have.]

That is one impressive camera. You're going to get some great pictures!

[Small talk. That was how "normal" people broke the ice, right?]

[She nodded.]

But... Even considering that, it still just has a different feeling.

[And as much as she liked seeing the night sky, it was never the same as the one from Miltia.]

Chrom told me that one's supposed to look like a griffon's backside! [ and pointing towards a random collection of stars in the sky. ] Huh.. I don't really see it, though. I haven't exactly stared at that area on griffons enough to know, though, I guess..
