Askan let her speak, even if he didn't quite get what she was saying. He understood that stars were physical, in the same way that rocks and water were but they just seemed so far away. Almost intangible. From her stunted explanation Askan could tell that she wasn't much of a talker, in fact she came across as a little uncivilised, as if she wasn't quite used to vocalising deeper, more poignant thoughts. Perhaps that was just the snooty Selwyn in him, making leap judgements that coloured him as a bit of an arsehole. But as long as he didn't say as much aloud it was fine, right? Probably not. He was going to hell anyway so why not enjoy the ride.

One thing he did know for certain though that stars weren't the souls of the dead. It just sounded too...optimistic, like something you'd say to comfort someone in mourning. Which wasn't to say he had all the answers, he just like to think he's mind was sharp enough to cut through all of the wishwashy, mystical bull crap. Or in other words, if it sounded too good to be true than it probably was.

"I dunno." He admitted, sounding more bothered by that fact then he should've been. "They're far away and not ours to own. They don't care what we want or think. Stars are stars."

Wow that was deep wasn't it? Askan rolled his eyes as he crossed his paws, further cementing his moody facade. Sometimes he just wished that his words sounded better, that he somehow could innately know what to say and do with people.

"The name's Askan Selwyn."
