through the trials of time

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[Milo appears on the Astral Plane wearing the bottom half of his cloth. Like so but uh hotter. His expression is relaxed unlike the last time he made himself known and he almost seems content, if a bit tired.]

Quite a feat to repair my temple in such a short time, even for me. But it is done.

...with the help of the kitten of course. Seems we won't be fighting each other any time soon.

[His mind is clearer and more open than usual today. In his head he's thinking,] If I could simply enjoy this peace given without holding back... [Aaand his mental guard goes back up.]

[He lies on his back on the "ground" of the Astral Plane.]

Tell me, anyone know where the Northern Cross is?

Above Orion, where Gemini should be. The Constellations are terribly jumbled here.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Or maybe our position relative to them makes it seem that way.

[He's on his back searching the galaxies for it.]

[lamb_of_gold]

Perhaps. Cancer has taken Ophiuchus' place near Scorpio, by the way.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

[Dryly.] Yum, Deathmask.

[lamb_of_gold]

I can't say I envy you in that case. [see icon]

[leschath.livejournal.com]

We were on speaking terms actually. [thoughtful]

[lamb_of_gold]

I think I've spoken to him once since my return from Jamir, though most of the words that passed between us were of the threatening sort.

[Finally sits, cross legged]I believe I owe you great thanks - your invitation may have saved my life, if not my well being at the very least.

[Pointing,] That way. I found it the day I brought my telescope.

[Follows the line that Li points] Thank you.

How goes the stargazing? [Milo's almost in a chatty mood...this is probably the happiest you'll see him.]

[contract_star]

[Hei is glad for it, considering how their last conversation ended. He smiles.] Pretty well. I've found a lot of constellations, though almost nothing is where it's supposed to be.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Perhaps you should take the time to map it. If this is the only way you can see them.

[a pause, before he speaks again.] And where's Aquarius?

[contract_star]

[Looks thoughtful.] Hm. I like that idea...maybe I will. [Sits down nearby.]

[Searches the sky and then points.] There, close to the, um, ground. It's brighter than usual--closer, I think.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

...what is it about stars that you like?

[turns until he can see it clearly.] Ah, there it is.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you got your temple fixed. [Smiles]

Some of the constellations are in really strange places here.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I've noticed. Everything is misplaced.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Nods] I only just managed to find Andromeda...the galaxy is a lot closer here.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

It's a beautiful galaxy.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

It is. It's nice to be able to see it this clearly.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

It's unnatural but I suppose you're right.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

[stands, looking around, then points] There.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Yes, I see it now.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

Any specific reason you wanted it?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

I was feelng nostalgic I suppose.

[salvagestime.livejournal.com]

You've been there?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

...no. Someone I know is protected by that constellation.
