and the sky was littered with the corpses of stars
It was a lot of information and they haven’t quite gotten to the point of understanding how to give a little in order to digest it better. But they don’t see anything wrong with how Juniper responds to them, if anything it’s only bolstering their prior excitement and want to learn more and more. So the grin that they offer is bright, their head bobbing in agreement. They had grown fast. They were still growing. They weren’t exactly sure when they’d stop.However, as Juniper comments on it, they take her reaction and run with it. “She’s very nice.” They say with determination with it, having known nothing but good things from their goddess, having not heard anything of the attacks with the Mathair, having not heard anything of the reasons why so many wished they didn’t exist anymore.
But they do their best to still appear patient, a sort of awkwardness within them in their stillness – having never needed to breathe before, they don’t feign it like most Ascended – instead, simply watching curiously. “It’s… Good. I don’t sleep and I like to make things so I can spend all day and night reading and making things.” Their head swings back toward the entrance of the temple, dark curls bouncing around the frame of their face. “I want to make nice places like this is. For everyone.” Because they’re not picky, they haven’t seen the hardships and anger from those outside of their little bubble.
No, in fact, Juniper was the first they got to speak with. So their head swings back toward her. “I read about the Fae before coming here to meet with you!” Another bright smile is offered her way. “I heard that the Fae are the ones that taught all of us the capturing the sun tradition! And even though… I can’t go near the sun or be out in it, it’s pretty to look at. I like the stories of it. Do you have any stories I could hear?”
