"Huh," Dash answered, considering the rather confident explanation offer by the Shadowman-- or was he a Shadowkid? ...Sirius and his pup, hmm? Where was the mother then? "Oh, then that must be Sirius's mate," Dash offered, gesturing toward Betelgeuse as it winked into existence. See, Dash could make up stories too!
"..She's forever tracking her husband and pup across the sky," he added, "Never able to catch up." It was a sad tale, but Dash had observed enough of the sky to know that while the entire tapestry might shift, the stars themselves would never move closer or further from one another. It was a sad fate indeed for Sirius and his mate.
Gods, the Shadowkid sure had an imagination! His description of firey worlds was absolutely ridiculous, but Dash was feeling charitable so he wouldn't say as much to the kid. It seemed much more plausible to the seawolf that the stars were like... fireflies that had gotten stuck up there or whatever. Or maybe pieces of the moon that got chipped off at some point.
"Those are some pissed-off gods of yours," Dash commented instead, apple-green eyes sweeping across the numerous stars that had become visible. Dash hoped earnestly that the gods were never irritated enough by those inhabiting their world to set it all ablaze, but the Shadowkid seemed oddly unperturbed by the prospect.
