a star map?
that's so interesting!
but can you see the stars here with so much light pollution?

[beariot]

That's what telescopes are for, Harry.

[horrifictie]

a telescope?
ohh
my brain is telling me that lets you look at stars at high magnification!

[beariot]

That's my primary use for them, yes. I've also found, whether through magical means or otherwise, there are certain spots in the city where the stellar curtain is remarkably visible even to the naked eye.

[horrifictie]

really?
could you tell me which spots?
i would love to look at stars.
i don't have any memory of seeing them.

[ This guy... She's starting to see a more complete picture. She texts over a few locations, one of them is nearby Emily Dyer's clinic. What they tend to have in common is they're all taller rooftops. ]

You should take someone with you. Maybe someone who knows the names of a few of them.

[horrifictie]

i dont think i know anyone like that.
the stars in this world are bound to be much different than in mine.
maybe you can come with me!

[beariot]

[ Well she kind of had been implying he should ask her. So that worked. ]

I'd be happy to accompany you, Harry. Tea or wine?

[horrifictie]

[ oh... he really shouldn't drink... he thinks looking at the beer in his hand right now, and the five cans he has already gone through. shit. ]

how about a little of both?

[beariot]

A thermos for one, a small bottle for the other. Conbini cheese sticks and fruit cups will have to suffice for food; I'm dreadfully broke right now.

[horrifictie]

i can contribute too!
let me bring the snacks.

[beariot]

No no, Mr. Harry, I insist. This is your first time stargazing. It will be my treat.

[horrifictie]

oh thank you!
i will repay you in the future for this kindness.

[beariot]

Trust me, I'm getting a pretty novel experience from this. It's pretty rare you get to witness someone's reaction to stargazing for the first time.
