SPOILER!!: Juuuuniiiiiii

The problem with the whole poster project thing was that Abey was already getting so far into the #aesthetic of it all that the whole point of it being an EDUCATIONAL thing was actually already going out of the window actually. He was very quickly forgetting that the focus should really be on the FACTS rather than the LOOK because, well... he was Abey.

After crawling back under the table for a third time, this time to get back into his chair, Abey popped back up into view, already giving more input.

"Yes! It's brilliant! And do you know any charms to make the writing all silvery and glistening, Juni?" he asked his cousin, watching her cutting up the paper into the right shape. "Because the rings are icy aren't they? Blocks of ice and things, so if the words are the rings it would be fun if they glistened." OH! Wait! "OR!!!!! I think I saw something here that was all silvery. A silver pen. We could use that if not."

As he spoke, Abey had noticed that Junia had written more on her little list there, and - in spite of his better judgement - he reached out and pulled it a little closer to him so he could attempt to read it. For a long while, he stared at the words, tracing them out with his finger only when he was SURE the ink was dry, and mouthing to himself, all the while screwing up his face in concentration.

Eventually, he looked up at Junebug, having given up on... all that. "Why do you suppose Saturn has such big rings? But not Juniper or......." Uhhhhh... "... the others? Do you think maybe it spins so fast that all the ice gets thrown off it? Have you ever seen what happens when you throw a ball that's got all wet?" If she had or if she hadn't, Abey was going to tell her. "'Cause when you throw it and it spins, the water drops fly off from around the middle for some reason, and it sort of looks like rings like with Saturn actually. Maybe it's the same and Saturn is really rainy and really cold and all the water freezes and ZOOMS off to make the ice rings! ... But I don't know why it would stay there and not fly into space for forever."

Pausepausepause.

"Either way, they're pretty no matter what actually."

He was an instant mood booster, Abey was. Could turn your frown upside down in .2 seconds flat. It was nice getting to have him here with her at school, she'd decided. While she waited for his return, Junia dutifully added on to their list of facts, only including what she thought was NEED to know information about Saturn. There was just no way they could include everything. Annnnnnd he was back and just as excited as he'd been when he left, which caused Junia to smile big. "Abey, I like ALL of your ideas! I think making our poster BE Saturn is the best choice and I like the idea of use writing the words ON the rings or...OH! Oh, ABEY! What if the string of words were the rings? We could space 'em out so it'd work!" It'd be tricky, but worth it if it came out correctly! What do you think?" In the meantime, Junia got to work cutting their poster into the desired Saturn shape, rings included.
