He obviously didn’t see her nod, but he heard the movement that she made when nodding. Yildun didn’t respond to it, though, because he was too busy feeling embarrassed about having brought up that he could hear the stars. Well, used to be able to hear the stars. The sightless young male did sometimes wonder if he would ever be able to hear them again, or if they had abandoned him for good. That thought kind of scared him, really.
Her questions made him stop thinking about the abandonment issue and focus on her instead. “Though I have never seen them in the way that you do, I do know what they look like,” was how he chose to begin his answer. “They are lights in the night sky, visible only when the sun is down and the sky is dark, though they can be visible when the moon is shining brightly. They are things of the night, and very, very, very far away.” Voices in his head? No, not likely, really. “My father was guided by the stars, too. I’ve been told that it comes naturally to me because of him.”
He’d almost entirely forgotten about his previous question and her having answered with a nod until she brought it up, giving him the answer he sought out loud. “Thank you,” he responded, giving a faint wag of his tail against the ground behind him. He was grateful that she was willing to help him because he really wasn’t sure how to go about talking to others and earning their trust, as well as respect.
