[apologies for the wait, i found this hard to reply to for some reason]
Saul was so engrossed in looking from paper to stars, seeing the subtle changes as Noah sat out here night after, mapping the sky. Now that he could see the stars above him as well as the map Noah had already made, it seemed straightforward to draw what you saw. Of course, Saul couldnt have realised that it took more than that- you had to put everything into perspective, make acceptable scales and everything else that meant you got an accurate recording. He didnt at first understand what Noah was saying, but his brain pieced together the stuttered words and presented them to Saul in a complete sentence. He glanced over at Noah, a soft smile on his face. "Thats a beautiful way of thinking of those long gone..." He murmered, before turning skyward anymore. And his green eyes searched for those he held closest to his heart, but were so far away. His mother, for one. He had never known her, not really. His father, he hadnt ever really known him either. Shiloh and Ascher, who were lost out in the wilderness. He surprised himself by thinking of Conor, the one who had abandoned him, abandoned Dahlia. Noah admitted that he did this nightly as Saul turned back to him.
"Wow... thats commitment right there." He murmered, an odd sort of praise on his lips for the silverly male. Another pause and the male stuttered out another sentence. "Yeah, I came from Dahlia. Do you miss Phoenix Valley much?" He asked, thinking of his own home. It had not been his birthplace, but he'd spent almost all of his life there, discounting the two months lost in the wilds and the previous turmoil with his father. He missed it, but he was beginning to like Ichika and everything in it. It was a tug in both directions for him and for the moment he was content to be in the middle of it all.
