Hug.

Hug! What a good.

"Thanks," he says, letting go. His wings fluff out from his back again.

"No problem."

He looks at Cor thoughtfully.

"I'd be pretty annoyed if you died," he says. "I hope you don't get eaten by the disappearing planet."

"You and me both. With the hoping, not the being annoyed, I'd be too dead to be annoyed."

Giggle.

"I will try my best not to let anyone who has not yet been eaten by the disappearance points get that way."

"Nice of you!"

"I try."

"Anyway, how'd the telling people you found a planet go?"

"It went well! They're dismantling the moonshot project and picking scouts now."

"'Moonshot'?"

"They were trying to get to the moon to use it as a dumping ground to buy time."

"Oh, makes sense. Well, now you have better things to do than wreck your moon, probably."

"Not like we're going to hang out and enjoy the next eclipse but yes."

"What's an eclipse?"

"Sometimes a shadow passes over the moon and it's pretty cool looking. There's also a kind where the moon goes in front of the sun, supposedly, I've never seen one of those."

"Oh, huh. Does your moon not glow? Ours glows."

"No, it turns out it doesn't. It looks like it does but it's actually just the sun lighting it up."

"Huh, that's kind of cool. Our moon goes in front of our sun sometimes but it's not that exciting, just sorta pretty."

"I mean, you could describe eclipses as just sorta pretty too, but reportedly the kind where that happens is very dramatic."

"You've never seen one? Ours happen once a month."

"I've seen the moon shadow kind but not the hiding sun kind."

"When the Suranse sun hides behind the moon they just look really bright together."

"Moon's see-through?"
