Lake Rodney stars, tell me your stories

Charon took a liking to the youth, though he couldn't quite pinpoint why. There was something about the boy's eagerness and enthusiasm that made Charon excited, too; it was the same sort of effect Eshe'd had on him once. He spoke of his sister and how she'd been teaching him. Charon knew nothing about 'zodiac stuff' so his interest was instantly piqued. The stars were so infinitely vast that it seemed impossible to learn everything.

"No. What's zodiac stuff?" Charon looked at the boy and then asked, uncharacteristically so, "Can you teach me?" He thought of his own little boy and then decided it wouldn't hurt to give the youth a confidence boost by letting him know he had information Charon wanted.
