we are young supernovas

Koa

I don't want to wonder if this is a blunder

What's a nice, normal, safe activity for friends to do?

The answer is almost certainly not stargaze, and yet here we are. In Koa's defense, he hadn't planned on stargazing with Sohalia. The date hang had started with some very tame activities: they'd met up for coffee, which led to hunting through the Bodega for gifts, which progressed logically to grabbing some street food, and then the light started fading, and one of them had commented on what a clear evening it was shaping up to be, and, well, it would have been a waste at that point to not go admire the stars.

You can't blame Koa for having a good time and wanting to keep those good vibes going, and if he'd grabbed a bottle of wine on the way up, I mean... look. This is still normal friend activities. Everything is fine.

"I just think it's such a testament to Safrin," Koa's saying as they trudge toward the mountainous tree that houses the Observatory in its heights, "That no matter where you go in Caido, you still see the same stars. There's something comforting about it, y'know? Like, no matter how far from home you get, the stars will still be there." From her position on his shoulder Pipsqueak purrs her agreement, sliding her serpentine body around to peer into the sky.
