[ As Shiro walks them off the trail, Keith's gaze stays on the constellations above, though the first comment gets a soft contemplative "hmm." Distance is a little different to gage when he'd been flying -- even more so when his dragon brain had mostly been focused on finding superlatives for a satellite nest. The tallest tree, the greenest patch of forest, the most pristine part of the river.....]
It shouldn't be far. Didn't want to stray too far from the lake.
[ There'd probably been some misplaced sentimental reason for that, now that he's thinking about it. Keith will keep that thought to himself though and give himself a mental shake. ]
I know 'em decently enough, I guess? Spent a little while in the Nova Station trying to figure out where in the universe we were. [ It hadn't helped -- not for that anyway. But at the time, pouring over star charts had been an excellent distraction from the trickier existential questions he'd been dealing with. Keith huffs a laugh, tentatively resting his chin on Shiro's shoulder. It's only after he settles that way that he realizes they're almost pressed cheek to cheek. He wonders for a beat if that's awkward, but the closeness here pales in comparison to what happened on Filia so the thought gets promptly dropped. ]
Can't say I know all of the names the natives have for any of the constellations, but... [ Again, he points skyward. ] See that one there? That's the brightest one. So naturally, it's called Shiro now.
