[ I forgot to mention that Siffrin is at least wearing his default hat, which curves just enough to shade their face a little. No arms to be seen, apparently tucked inside the poncho until he perks up at the start of a voice. Almost as if not expecting to be approached.
The friend mention gets them to a blink a few, seeming unused until dipping their head a little. ]
Hello, Taair. [ A glance back up, humming a little. ] ..Sorta. Didn't get a good look at it last night so.. was wondering if there was anything familiar up there.
[ a little creature made of shapes…none of this gestures or movements go unnoticed! But he doesn’t draw attention to them - instead, he follows their gaze up to the sky overhead, looking curiously to where the stars are beginning to blink into view. ]
I see.. and have you seen anything familiar, since?
[ Stars. Little by little, blinking into view. Siffrin stares, and stares, looking for anything familiar, anything that they can place together piece by piece. Silence fills with no reply. Just sitting there, watching and...
Eventually, they speak again. ] ..No. Not yet.
[ Their single eye flicks over, keeping him in their line of sight. ]
[ 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...?
no subject
It's a machine to calculate the positions of astronomical objects.
