Marruz was relieved when the topic shifted more towards the stars — particularly his knowledge of them. Indigo eye blinked evenly as he adjusted his frame of mind; pursuing instead the majesty of the galaxies and that pleasing vista. His lips parted but remained, for a moment, wide in anticipation for what words he would summon.
"That one is commonly known as Sirius — the dog star," his boyish voice was tainted by a melancholy undertone, albeit no less orotund. "And right beside it would be its pup."
He paused to ruminate on the question proposed by his companion. It rather surprised him that the newcomer latched onto the subject at all, much less found the motivation to inquire such a compelling query. As for Marruz himself, he had absorbed too much of his time studying the exact locations of the celestial bodies and thus his answer was in no way instantaneous. He didn't care to speed his process either, though it truly did not take long to boil down to a worthy response.
"Well, have you ever seen a forest fire?" he verbally led the seawolf along his line of thought, placing a careful and reverent note upon every word. Should one have looked, this fire could be seen in his heterochromic orbs. "That is the only source I can imagine that emits light when it is dark. I believe that the stars are really just other worlds that the gods set ablaze... Perhaps someday our own will become one."
