Leta had not the slightest idea he was lying, and snuggled up even more against his fluffy chest with a smile as bright as the stars above them. He asked for more, and Leta eagerly wiggled on her back and pointed out with her foreleg Scorpius.
And then she pointed out a large one that always caught her eye,
Uhm, that one kinda looks like a bug,she identified, tail beating against the grass beneath her.
With three stingers!!!She explained, seeing it in reverse. Scorpius had but one stinger, but Leta did not know what they were, and so she fashioned it into some sort of bug.
And then she pointed out a large one that always caught her eye,
And that... that's a big bear... and next to it... it's a little bear, like it's baby, maybe,she imagined,
Like me and you!!!!Leta marveled and related, and her imagination ran wild.
Do you think they see us?She asked in a faint whisper. Rocks were not living, and the earth itself was just that, she understood... but the stars twinkled so brightly that it felt like the movement must be them breathing! And she had never been told this was not the case. Stars had stories, just like her mother and father and family did.
