Moonspear i'd like to take this time to say

wow - i'm the worst

arcturus wasn't pulling up much either. he could smell the faded, but still present scent of smoldering ruin off of the star - it was ever so slight, but it pulsated -- every now and then he would get a whiff and then it would be gone again.

but nothing else around the star yielded any clues. discouraged by this, arcturus settled alongside yama and shook his head in response. he hadn't found anything either. he looked skyward, almost helpless -- did it mean all stars might fall to their world one day? "i couldn't smell anything either." he gave up with a shrug, not one to dwell on his failures for long (lol - oh, give it time you big idiot). deciding it was not worth pursuing further, arcturus grinned impishly and took a dive for yama's pelt in a toothy gesture to play.
