Modesty gave each of the kids a chance to come up with an answer, but it was their blow in that gave the correct direction. Modesty nodded her head at the explanation, and looked to polaris as well. "That's the most recognisable one, yes, but if you look over there," She tipped her nose towards three stars side by side, "The first one to come up is called Mintaka, and it rises in the east, and sets in the west, just like the sun." She wasn't entirely sure Deluge was listening until she saw the girl's eyes flick in the direction of the stars when she thought her mother wasn't looking. "Sometimes, if you're competing with cloud cover, you won't be able to see one or the other, it's a good idea to have a few different reference points to fall back on. Does anyone know of any others?" While she waited for a response, she considered the way the moonlight gleamed off the exposed bone and the way the darker marks seemed to eat up all the light. Maybe it was a bit eerie after all.
