I like the quiet. [He said gently as he stared up toward the sky, counting the all too familiar stars.] Makes me miss home though.

[She glances up too, tilting her head a bit] Do you know all the constellations?

Yeah, I do, even the old ones they don't speak of anymore. [He let out a little chuckle grinning at Jennifer,] Did you know there's a unicorn constellation?

Really? Where? [Because Jen liked unicorns. A lot.]

Monoceros rests right about... [He squinted a bit before pointing,] There. That's the horn, and then the back there, an then legs there and there. [He pointed out each part as he spoke about it.]

[And just when she thought Fluffy was done with surprises...] Huh...that's actually pretty awesome. We like, have to come star gazing one of these nights.

There's a Pegasus too, but I think they still identify that one. [He smiled a little bit more.]

Yeah, I've heard of that one. I just..never really looked at them enough to care what was what. [shrugs]

Well... I've been alive much longer than you have.

Hey, don't rub it in that you're older then me. Not nice to gloat. [she nudges him with her foot, yes she's kidding]

I can't help it, being annoying about being old comes with being old.

You know, you're really lucky I like you so much. [She gave a wink and then leaned back as far as she could in the swing, looking up.] Think you'll ever go home Fluffy?

[Thinking about it makes him a little sad, he shrugs as he looks down at his shoes.] I... I hope so. It hurts being away.

Yeah.... [No, she was not..thinking about that. Ugh. Depressing much Jen? But she was and it makes her lose her balance and she falls straight backwards with a loud thud.]

.....

ow.

[He looked a little surprised, glancing over to her and shaking his head a bit. Hopping off the swing he offered a hand down to pull her back up.]

[Jen rubbed her head a minute before reaching up and grabbing his hand, helping herself up she then laughed - because it was suddenly funny to her for some reason.] God, I'm such a fucking clutz latey.

What's wrong Jen? [He asked again as he propped her up and made sure she was standing properly.]

Nothing's wrong. I'm just a total clutz lately. It happens. [shrugs and sets herself back on the swing.]

Oh... [He didn't look like he was too sure he believed her but didn't press it. Walking around behind her he offered a gentle push to get her swinging.] Alright.

[She grinned a bit and looked back at him when she went forward] Stop worrying silly. I'm fine. Really.
