Charon was glad that Odette shared his affinity for the amazingness of the stars. That was the core reason why he had begun to be an astronomer. He felt connected to them somehow and though he considered himself to be for a higher purpose, he also recognised that there may be others; not destined for higher purposes, perhaps, but with an interest in the stars nonetheless.
"Amazing, isn't it?" he said with a grin. She was eager to move on, so he said, "More than you can count." Charon was in fact not very sure how many constellations there were, but he was sure even he did not know all of them yet. He spotted a familiar constellation and said: "That's Raven's —" He halted momentarily as he remembered it wasn't a real one. It was Dhole's, about her sister. But it'd be weird to stop now, so he continued after a second or three, "— Arrow. Raven's arrow. See?" He pointed at the sky; "She's shooting the arrow at that dragon over there."
