Introducing the Legend of Hellish Hell & the Hellbound Child ~ Chapter 26

(Astrid's P.O.V.)

I stared at all the gleaming lights in the sky, the starlight and moonlight igniting the whole town with a majestic glow. I got an Usui (in other words, an abnormally odd pat on the head) and I just stared. "Not bad grumpy cat. You successfully performed the spell. Not much of a klutz, eh?" Jackson raised his eyebrow at me with that same mischievous glint in his eye. In reply I just stuck my tongue out at him then *sassily* (umm...not really) turned away from him to admire the wondrous scenery.

"So..................What malicious mischief does life have to offer now?" Kathrine heaved a sigh and tilted her head upwards. Her eyes darted across the skylights and analyzed what she has yet to gain interest in...and what more, understand.
"You never change, Kathrine. You were never the astronomy geek...you always said it was either way too simple—"
"Or way too complicated. I know, 'cause I still haven't changed my opinion on that. Biology is more my forte."
"How 'bout Clair? Which branch of science does she favor (fancy words, huh) the most?" I wondered, continuing my irrelevant-ish conversation with Kathrine.
"I think I like environmental science the most. I'm sure it doesn't make sense because of my personality, but ehh."
"Speak of the devil." (finally, a chance to use that wonderful threesome of words...good job Astrid)
"Makes sense that you'd think that, you are slightly goofy—not that childish character—after all." Ashton joined the small talk. "I myself prefer astronomy the most out of all sciences."
"Well lookie here! You're just like Astwid-sama! She likes astronomy too! Though I don't see why you'd like it at all..." Kathrine softly muttered the last part.
"I do indeed and I am actually glad someone who is less of an idiot than I thought he was actually understands the beauty of space!"
"Yay! Banzai...? Space is bootipul 'cause it allows you to move for as long as all the volume in the space you have isn't taken up by someone or something other than yourself." Kathrine sarcastically said.
"Wow *giggle giggle* Kathrine *giggle* you sure do *giggle giggle* know your synonyms *giggle*..." Clair giggled...a lot.
"Pffft, she's no thesaurus compared to me! See! Just look at that infinite. endless, limitless, boundless, immeasurable galaxy of stars!" I went on Astrid the Thesaurus mode...the different Astrid-s just keep coming. (and if I actually used a thesaurus there like some nerd with a thesaurus or dictionary of some sort always at hand? (but nope I didn't))
"Wow. Just, wow." Clair gave us her blank, speechless reaction.
"And Kathrine!" I called out. "Don't go all sarcastic on me!
"Hai, hai."
"Hey kids! Back to business!" Ashton commanded.
"Speak for yourself..."
"I heard that! Grumpy cat! Just shaddup will ya?"

We just sat on the street in plain silence an awkward awkwardness ruining the used-to-be-fun atmosphere. We just stared at each other awkwardly wondering what the hell we were supposed to do that would actually truly be considered 'business'. Or at least I did anyways...

"Umm..." Kathrine got the conversation going totally not awkwardly!
"So..astronomy experts! What do we do now...?" Clair awkwardly (you'll hear this a lot) attempted to enthusiastically say.
"There is only one astronomy expert here, and that is me, but we also have an astronomy geek who likes the subject but sucks at it nonetheless." Jackson boasted jokingly.
"Okay then, astronomy expert," I paused to glare at Perseus. "Which constellations do you see?"
"I see...'the dying star' Aquillis, 'the whitest giant' Pexeres and 'the northernmost' which is Hetis...those are the three main stars in the constellation Yui...I also see the constellation Crea because I see Vei..."
"From here," I stopped to take dig out the memories of that book I read. "I see the the Hunter's belt, which reveals to us the constellation Hunter and when we look further east of the belt, we see constellation Lucis. South of that, there's the twin of Lucis, Lexima. we see the three wise men which directs us to Nymphi Major and west of that, Nymphi Minor."
I swear I heard Kathrine and Clair sigh and whisper "And the stargazing continues..." before we wound up caught in our own little world for hours and hours.
