Heron Lake Plateau journey through stellar life

Ever the skeptic, Niamh was surprised when Phox answered- but she held her tongue, and was willing to put a bit of faith in the subject if someone like Phox so honestly and frankly admitted to believing in seeing signs in them. She sat down beside him, feeing welcome in his company and tilted her head back. The edges of her lips pulled down as immediately, she imagined Bruges somewhere up above her- if that was where he'd ended up, like in the stories she'd been told as a yungster- but she couldn't see any star that remotely resembled the twinkle in his silver eyes.

She continued to scan the stars, which seemed just about as stationary as her heart felt, twinkling only vaguely from so immeasurable a distance. "What do they mean to you?" She asked, knowing that at least he must have put some value in them. And maybe, if he could, she could too.
