[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.]

Comments

[contract_star]

[And Hei gets the feeling loud and clear.] Right...I suppose it would be different if Mu was in danger. Milo's Cloth must have been worried for him. [Long pause, thinking things over. Then he smiles.] You're a little bit like Yin that way.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Curious now!]

[contract_star]

Yin? She's...[Long pause, and he smiles slowly.] She's a friend. She...she doesn't talk much, and people assume that because of what...who she is, that she doesn't think or feel. But they're wrong. She's a good friend to me...she's even saved my life in the past.

[lamb_of_gold]

[A sense of familiarity there, "You're right, that is like us." and then a happy glow, "I like you." ]

[contract_star]

[Still a little weirded out by this whole thing, but he smiles broadly in response to the sense of "Liking."] I'm glad Mu has you. He...seems kind of lonely, sometimes.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Here comes that sad back, kind of a missing someone sort of sad though]

[contract_star]

[Hei thinks about it, trying not to let the "ow, sad" show on his face.] His master, huh?

[lamb_of_gold]

[An affirmation, accompanied a sense of possession, like "Mine, too."]

[contract_star]

[Sighing and looking again at the sky.] Losing someone...it's...[But he doesn't really know how to express it in words, and feelings aren't much easier, so he says nothing and figures the Cloth will understand anyway.]

[lamb_of_gold]

[Does and tries to comfort in response.]

[contract_star]

[Feels it and just smiles.]
