Mercury leaned in and listened carefully as the pup detailed the workings of the telescope. He was impressed with the breadth of her knowledge. Good. The Warlord had been listening when Mercury explained it all to him. At her question he smiled in a way that creased about his eyes, smiling with the whole of his face. Yes, he did love the stars. “My favourite would be Polaris, also known as the North Star. It’s one of the most important stars in the night sky, and forms of navigation centre around its existence.” He explained. At her hesitation, and following question he swallowed.

“There is no star named Zee, but theres a beauty to the stars, Andromeda. You can look at them, discover something of your own, and name it” he said softly.
