[ as he's asked, taair takes a similar silence - he looks up to the stars overhead, scanning the skyline for familiarity. the sight of the sky is one he knows intimately, after all, but after a long, thoughtful quiet of his own... ]
...No, neither do I. I've charted the stars quite a bit, at least from what I could see, and there's not a single constellation that looks familiar.
[ he finally looks back down to siffrin, with a little, hapless smile. ] It's a bit disconcerting, isn't it? To expect familiarity, and to see that a constant in the world has shifted.
..I don't know. Maybe. [ Quietly, his gaze raises up to the sky, watching as more stars appear. ] For what constellations that do show back where I was, I don't remember their names.
he watches siffrin for a moment - expression soft, brows just knit together. memory issue, is it... ]
... Well...perhaps for the ones here, you might help me chart them? If we could find supplies. [ with a soft little smile. ] Even if you do know how, or if you don't - it's something we could experience together.
[ At that offer, Siffrin grows quiet, thinking, pondering... peering up and staring hard at those unfamiliar stars. Probably as equally as unfamiliar as back home. They feel tired.

..Would be nice to try. [ Something comes to mind, a small thought. ] I wonder if there's an orrery somewhere.

[ warmly. ]
It's a hobby, so I am no professional, but I like to make maps. Is that something you've done before, Siffrin...?

An orrery...? An astronomical technology of some kind...?

It's a machine to calculate the positions of astronomical objects.
