[Hei appears a ways away from where the normal crowd gathers, carrying a brand new Satake telescope. He sets it up carefully on its tripod and settles in for some quiet time with the stars. He'll talk to anyone who comes by, though.]

[Milo's only here because he was specifically lookng for Li. He makes himself comfortable on the field of stars, sitting down and thrusting a sizable paper bag at Li. ]

An apology. And also I don't mind cooking as much when I leave the mess for someone else to clean.

[contract_star]

[Not looking up from his telescope,] Clean-up is part of the experience, though.

[Now he looks up and takes the bag, smiling.] So what is it?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Perhaps but I have more important things to clean up than a kitchen usually.

Dolmades. [And then it occurs to him that Li might not know what that is.] It's a greek thing, rice, vegetables and meat wrapped in a leaf.

[contract_star]

I suppose you do. How is it going with your temple, by the way? Do you have to rebuild it by yourself?

[Curious now because no, he doesn't know what that is, so he takes one out and takes a tentative bite. Then his eyes widen in surprise.] This is really good.

You like the stars?

[contract_star]

I do. Well, I did. There isn't much to look at these days.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Because of all the lights in the city...?

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

See any you recognize?

[contract_star]

Plenty of the constellations and stars...and Messier objects that they put up close for some reason. But a lot of these I don't recognize. [Smiling.] That just makes it more interesting, though.

[soimpressive.livejournal.com]

I could point a few out. I've seen a good many of them up close, you know.

[walks up curiously] What are you doing?

[contract_star]

[Looks up and smiles down at her.] Stargazing.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Ah, that's right. You don't have stars... [sits beside him] These must be nice then.

[didorothy]

You found one, then. Great.

[contract_star]

[Grinning,] I did. It's going to set me back awhile, but it was worth it.

[didorothy]

[looks around] Wish I knew some astronomy. I don't think I can name most of these.

[Happens to skate by, and spots him] Oooh~~~ Another fan of the starry night I see~~~? [chuckles]

[contract_star]

[Chuckling,] I've always loved the stars.

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[smiles smiles] Is that so~~~? Ohh, I can understand~! Who wouldn't love this pure beauty~~~~? [looks up dreamily]

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

You're looking at the stars?

[contract_star]

Yup. [Smiles at her.] The scope is on Subaru--or the Pleiades--if you want to see. It's a star cluster that looks like a miniature Big Dipper.

[demonsblood.livejournal.com]

If that's okay. [She takes a look.]

Ne, so it's like a little Dipper?

[lamb_of_gold]

[Guess who's floatin' over because his master fell asleep. Sup, Hei?]

[contract_star]

[Oh hai sentient armor! Hei is watching you carefully.]

Hello...um...you're not going to attack me like Milo's armor, are you?

[lamb_of_gold]

[Lies down, actually, and there's a feeling of amusement radiating from it that can be taken as "why the hell would I? Really now!"]
