If not, then she would do better next time that happened.
She then laid back on her side of the blanket, strawberries and white chocolate laid in between them as she looked to where he was pointing. "Ohhhhh, and there is Orion." She thought about her family for a moment before adding, "You know, my grandfather's name was Orion." OooooOooo. Was she...sharing? "Strawberry?" Too much was happening inside her brain, almost an overload. Her mind was wandering into several different directions from clothing to food to boys to what shoes to wear with an outfit. Gah! So much stress on a person was not good for the complexion.
"Soooo," what to talk about? "Why do you like the stars so much?"
He looked where she pointed as it was Orion. She did know some things." Really? My name is a constellation." He told her as it was cool to have something connected to his name. Well other than your reputation. Which they both had plenty of. He was thinking to himself when she asked him about a strawberry."Sure." He took it as he dipped it in the chocolate, devouring it not long after. He did like fruit. " I think the chocolate makes it worse." Yes it did. It was better without chocolate.
She was asking him about why he liked stars so much. He looked at her as he guessed he had never really explained it. He shrugged a little as he spoke." It was just something my dad and I did together." He looked at the stars for a few moments in silence as he spoke." I've never told anyone this, but my parents thought I'd be one of those kids who couldn't do any magic. Once my dad thought it too, he started spending more time with me. This was what we did. He always told me didn't care, but you know our parents. If we weren't, they'd be devastated. I want to be an airplane pilot." He told her as that would be so amazing.
"Anyway. They figured out i wasn't. He was happy about it and we slowly stopped looking at stars with me. I enjoy it. I want to fly into space! How cool would that be? Do you think we could do that in a broom?" That would be so much fun!
