He stopped his squinting through the telescope when Kurumi leaned over to see what he'd been pointing at. Looking at her face for just a second longer than would have been normal, Lewis quickly averted his gaze back to the Gryffindor's star charts once he'd caught himself doing it. They were here to look at STARS after all. Neptune to be exact.
Glancing at her when she said she also couldn't find Neptune, Lewis pulled back from his telescope and sat back down on the blanket. "Are you...are you sure we're supposed to be able to see it tonight?" He asked softly, not really looking at her but instead staring down into his mug of tea. "Maybe it's...tomorrow or something." Or there were just too many clouds tonight. Not that he minded being out here with Kurumi. They could still go on gazing up at the sky, looking for Neptune until midnight, for all that he cared.
It was a good thing that Kurumi had herself completely occupied with academic thoughts regarding Astronomy and finding Neptune to notice Lewis looking at her longer than what may have been considered normal. Recently, when the Gryffindor wanted to put blinders up, she really put them up and blocked everything out entirely. It was her best defense at the moment. Made her feel like she had at least some control over things.
"
Pretty...sure..." she nodded, running her fingers over the chart and checking things again. She traced along several constellations until her fingers found Pollux and then her left hand traced over the line that should be the path of Neptune during this time of year. "
Yep...it SHOULD be there..." She glanced up again, noting the slight cloud coverage. "
Maybe we need more powerful telescopes..." Which they didn't have with them at the moment.
With a small sigh, Kurumi set the charts down on their shared blanket. Well, there were other things to spot besides Neptune, but she really wanted to see it. Frown. Looking up again this time, Kurumi's eyes widened. No, it wasn't a comment this time. "
Quick, Lewis, LOOK!" she chirped, pointing and tapping his shoulder to make sure she caught his attention. Shooting star!
