Starlight, Starbright

Thorn was excited to know about the stars or whatever else his cousin had to show them.  Thorn made his way up the stairs to the tower.  In his mouth, the boy carried his sword.  The sword was two sticks of wood with vines to hold them in place.  It probably didn’t look like much but Thorn was quite proud of it.

The boy made it up to the tower and bobbed a greeting to Charlton.  Thorn found a spot to rest his weapon.  “So, you’re the one telling us about the stars?  Do you know all their names? I know a tiny bit about them.  Aunty Bo told me a little.”  The boy's tail swished back and forth a bit in pleasure.  His head tilted up, looking to the night sky.  "Did you know they are important to anyone who sails?"
