arcturus did not catch the flicker of envy, for it was nearly imperceptible as it danced across dirge's thoughts. who knows if arcturus would have been sympathetic -- he was, after all, charon's child.

"if you are lucky, you will have many. it may make naming easier, or harder -- depending." he answered dirge's smile with a slender smile of his own, though it stole across his solemn expression as brief as a meteor flare.
