"... And that's Pegasus," Robin pointed towards a group of stars with little Maria's eyes following. "Pegasus is the winged horse constellation. It's visible between August and December," Robin informed, watching Maria's copper eyes twinkle in wonder.
"And there's Cassiopeia," Robin pointed, "beside the Big Dipper."
"Cas- sho- pay-ah?" Maria repeated, trying to pronounce the name correctly. "Correct," Robin approved, nodding as he looked at the little girl.
Maria smiled. She then asked, "what's its story?" She looked back at the night sky, trying to find the Cassiopeia constellation again.
Robin glanced up too. "Cassiopeia was a beautiful queen and constantly boasted how she was more beautiful than Poseidon's sea nymphs, which he did not take lightly..." Robin began.
And that lead Robin to tell stories of Greek Mythology and how they relate to the constellations. Maria listened carefully and never took her eyes off of Robin. Somewhere in their conversation, Maria was able to lean on Robin as the young boy welcomed her and wrapped his arm around the girl as he continued to tell the tale of Aeris, the god of war as if embracing the young girl in his arms were completely normal.
