[ This world Era has found herself in is different. New. Enjoyable in its own way despite her yearning - need - to return home. It's been some time since she first crashed into some woodlands near where the young Peter lived. He's helped her adjust as well as one could expect of a boy-hero trying to help an alien woman. Era has appreciated it immensely, offering her healing prowess whenever he needed them as repayment.

Things have been strange in this world lately, or so Era believes. She hasn't had an opportunity to travel and attune with all of Earth's prominent constellations, all but blinding her ability of foresight. If she cannot read the stars she cannot read the possible futures in store for Peter and his companions.

Luckily Peter is amenable to her request for a night of star-gazing. The darkness the late evening provides, coupled with a large sweater and a hat, hides most of her distinctly non-human silhouette. It allows her more freedom than the daylight does. The world is different at night; quieter. Era wishes to one day be able to experience the sights and sounds with the sun shining down upon her.

Perhaps in the future. Right now she has the company of a teenage boy she has come to care for as a younger sibling (Peter reminds her so much of Alphinaud in some ways), and Era intends to take full advantage of his vast amounts of knowledge. They make their way to the roof of a building with a good view, Peter using his arachnid-like powers and Era jumping as only a dragoon can jump.

She has all the supplies on hand in her 'Bag of Holding' as Peter calls it, even though it is not really a bag. It takes little time at all for her to pull out a few blankets, pillows, snacks, a lantern, and a pen and notebook, setting everything up to make for a comfortable evening. ]

Thank you for indulging me, Peter.

I am SO sorry for how long this took

[This nerd WOULD stargaze.]

[ was everyone gathered out here to watch this meteor shower? ugh. Mako wasn’t good with crowds and he didn’t like sitting still for long periods of time. he didn’t even know if he knew anyone else —
except he did! there was a familiar green haired figure sitting to the right of him. he grinned, excited that he found a friend.

Mako made his way over to the other. noticing that he was staring up at the sky and not wanting to scare him, he gently poked the other on the top of his head. he smirked ] Is this seat taken?
