"Do you like stars?"
"What?"
"Do you like stars?" Alesh repeated, her eyes focused on the cluster of stars that ruled the sky.
"Umm... I don't know?"
Alesh realized Eidlan's surprise, she gave a distinctive smile as she said, "I made some poems, short stories, and novels, you know."
"I know about short stories and novels, but poetry surprised me." He smiles, "by the way, I don't pay much attention to stars — except for directions — so I can't give an answer."
"It's a shame. Legends and myths of stars are very interesting."
"Yeah? Then why don't you tell me?"
"Okay."
He didn't think she would do that, but it was Alesh who more surprised. She noticed how those honey-brown eyes lighten up. His slightly slanted eyes widened, and his pale skin glows a bit. Seems like a giant 6'0 toddler. Alesh needs to hide a smile for that.
"...and THE END."
Eidlan smiled, "That was exciting."
"I've told you," Alesh agreed, "I myself interested in stars because of its myths and legends. Don't ask about scientific history, I wouldn't know."
Eidlan laughs, "One day I'll tell you the scientific history."
Alesh joined to laughs, "But don't be disappointed if I fall asleep in the middle of the story, okay?"
Eidlan frowned and crushed Alesh with a handful of dirt. Alesh dodged, she laughs without retaliating. Her eyes look back at the sky and counted, this time there are fourteen. Eidlan joined in, but according to him, there are fifteen stars there. One of them is somewhat hidden, maybe not Alesh counted, but the star was clearly there.
As time goes on, stars are increasingly invisible. No need a long time until Eidlan decided to began an Obseqium MWD in the morning, as how the way they always start the day.
The twins woke up with yawn and tug, watching Alesh who didn't start her MWD.
"Al," Vasyl called, "you didn't bring your Carbasa, did you?"
Alesh about to shook her head when Vasyl ran, not waiting for an answer, as Grier cursed him while went back to sleep. Alesh waited, she cursed herself for forgetting about Carbasa – I'ts something about her MWD!
Fifteen minutes later Vasyl was back, brought two boxes of cereal and a new Carbasa. Alesh smiled, "You don't need to buy a new one."
"Then what? Breaking your house or the Bog Domum?" Vasyl throws the Carbasa, "just use it. "
Alesh catch it, felt both grateful and troublesome. Meanwhile Vasyl just simply returned to his sleeping bag and snoring.
"You go to sleep, I'll keep watch," said Eidlan right after Alesh finished, "take my sleeping bag in my bag."
Alesh nodded, she didn't need to be told to go to sleep, even with or without a sleeping bag. She was a little surprised, why among all the things she had brought, she had forgotten her sleeping bag AND Carbasa (also how can Eidlan find out)
Alesh grabbed Eidlan's bag, took his sleeping bag, and began to close her eyes.
