Aim for the moon, land among the stars

If Bronze doubted his brother's words at all, he made no real sign of it. Instead he made himself more comfortable beside Hauyne, his paws stretching out in front of him as he tilted his head back to observe the sky. He didn't follow what his brother was saying about the stars moving, but as he explained it made a little more sense. He didn't mean they were moving quickly - at least not quick enough for them to see - but they were moving slowly, very slowly. "Kinda like how a plant grows?" Bronze mused thoughtfully. "One day it's small and then the next it can be a lot bigger, but if you sit and watch it you can't really see it growing?"
Maybe he was wrong. Maybe it was nothing like that, but it made sense in his head. He let out a quiet sigh, shifting slightly so he was sitting closer to his brother. It was a strange thought to imagine the stars moving in the sky like that - they seemed so permanent and unchanging until you really got to thinking about it more. "Say, do you think we'll be here forever? Looking at this sky? Or do you think we'll end up somewhere else someday seeing a different one?" The conversation was was a casual one but Bronze had gotten to wondering if Incendium would be their home forever. Their parents seemed happy here but he wondered if life might be different elsewhere, if they ended up going somewhere new.
