The mountains, that seems like a suitable answer. With good reasoning, too, Davey would have to give him that. A little nod to his pale head, Davey follows along. Letting the silence lapse between them for a moment, until Atoll hits him with another question. Man, did he know how to just enjoy the moment?
But then, it's a reasonable question. Modesty had taught them about this too, actually. "The freakishly bright one, up there, always points north." Davey indicated, gesturing to the star that his ma had shown them in the past. "As for which way home is, that requires some other stuff. You awake enough for this lesson, or what?" Peering at the boy, making sure he's following. Davey traced the great bear with a careful eye before sketching the same constellation in the muddy ground just outside their shelter.
