[ A wisp of air escapes his lips and he notes how visible it is. ]

Feels a lot like North.

[ Even if they can't make contact with the spirits here. ]

[perfectpower]

Yeah, it does.

[A mild version of North, but still close enough.]

's why I thought of the northern lights. Space Doc said we'd see 'em on this planet, so I wanna see 'em.

[perfectdistance]

[A soft laugh.]

Space Doc? Do you know their callsigns?

[perfectpower]

'course I do! Space Doc is Io.

[perfectdistance]

Guess they are over health. How much did you tell them?

[perfectpower]

Just that I'm from the North and how it's been a while since I've seen the northern lights. I didn't mention you at all.

[Even if it is Really Obvious, they still have to keep up pretenses.]

It's been a while for you too, yeah?

[perfectdistance]

Huh... I think it's been more than a century since I've seen it?

[ He doesn't miss North, but there are pieces of it that are beautiful. ]

[perfectpower]

Then it'll be a nostalgic show for you!

[The sun is nearly set at this point, with only a smudge of purple on the horizon. The stars are twinkling in the night sky above, though Bradley doesn't recognize any of the constellations.]

[perfectdistance]

The sky here's different.

[Just something off hand, that he's noticing, tilting back and looking up.]

[perfectpower]

Yeah, it is. I bet they have different constellations here.

[He points up to one part of the sky.]

Over there, that kinda looks like a bat, doesn't it?

[perfectdistance]

Kinda like the Iestrum.

[Less annoying, since it's silent.]

[perfectpower]

Kinda! But there'd need to be more of 'em.

What do you see?

[perfectdistance]

Kinda looks like a Minotaur.

[Pointing at one of the clusters of stars.]

[perfectpower]

Huh. Well look at that, it does.

[The sky is darker now, and all of a sudden wisps of color start to trail across the sky. The aurora is forming.]

Oh, there it is!

[perfectdistance]

[ It's not exactly the same, but it's beautiful all the same. ]

[perfectpower]

[Yeah, it is.

But the crazy thing is, after a little while, Bradley finds himself watching Nero more than the aurora.]

[perfectdistance]

[ Gay.

Nero's looking up, enjoying the beautiful lights in the sky. ]

[perfectpower]

[Super-gay.

He's just going to slip an arm around Nero's shoulders in a loose hug as he looks back up at the brilliant night sky.]

[perfectdistance]

[They're alone enough Nero won't pull away.

It's a nice little night date.]
