[ He's smiling. Even laughing a little, which in Soundwave terms is basically guffawing. As he speaks, she takes a tiny moment to glance at his face. What she sees is blurred from being so up close, but it sends her heart rate into overdrive, regardless. How lucky she is, getting to see him like this, after worrying so long that she never would again...
Her gaze returns to the sky, watching as he traces shapes as unfamiliar to her as the constellations she mentioned to him. ]
I just had to remind myself why we'd know different constellations. You had a totally different view of the sky than I did. [ Wait. ] Er, than I...would've had. You know, if I had ever been able to see it.
[ She's being depressing out loud now. Bad bad bad! At least it distracts her away from asking how he knows what a tanuki is. ]
Ahaha, anyway...I had to take a minute to figure out why you'd think the view is crowded, too. [ Her head comes up a little to look at him, intrigue clear on her face. ] You've actually been in space, haven't you?
[ Just imagining the views he would've seen gives her shivers. Space is, well, full of space. It has her feeling even more like an ant, especially knowing his kind had been capable of transcending barriers that humans had only begun to touch. In her time, anyway. Is he from a different time? So many questions...
She shivers a bit more, then glances back up. ]
It's so wild to me. The idea of touching the stars is only a dream for most people. You probably could've flown to the stars in these constellations! Have you actually done that?
