Although surprised by the wealth of information she'd never known was there, Bat shook her head lightly when Phox asked if she had any further questions. She'd gotten what she'd wanted originally, plus plenty more. He had given her enough to digest for a while. And though she did find it intriguing, she wasn't sure she was terribly invested in exploring further down this particular rabbit hole. If she did want to know more, she knew where to find him.

For now, Bat kind of wanted to be alone again. It was such a teenage, girlish thing to do but... she wanted to go back to musing about her big ole crush, clear her mind a bit before finally getting some sleep. "Not right now. But thanks, Phox," said Bat accordingly, offering him a grateful smile and a dip of her snoot before she said, "'M gonna catch some z's now. See you later!"

As she wandered off into the dark, absently following the North Star, the astronomer's lesson faded into the back of her mind. More and more, she contemplated just telling Tegan how she felt, though Bat knew she still wasn't ready for any big confessions. Heck, she might never tell him, as it had occurred to her that she could compromise the friendship. She idly wondered if the stars had anything to say about such romantic gambles, if perhaps her fate even might be spelled out up there somewhere. The thought made Bat snort smilingly.
