"I find the clouds aren't very talkative anyway." Bee added in with a giggle.

"ooh, do you have a star chart by chance?" there was so much down on the ground, but sometimes she wanted the simplicity of the heavens. maybe if he did, she could buy it off him. trade for it. though what he could want was beyond her.
