The...stars? Her people had a rather...odd relationship with the stars. They revered the bodies, and that inky blackness in general, and at the same time didn't think much of them. They didn't question their existence, and didn't try and explain them. To do so, would be folly according to ancient texts. Her people weren't very religious nor did they believe in many supernatural things, even if they accepted some things couldn't always be explained with logic and reason. When it came to stars though, they were oddly reverent.

Cait's explanation was completely and utterly foolish, though.

[color=bc8dbf]"I can't say how big our world is, since there's clearly things I have still yet to understand about it, but that is ridiculous."[/color] Charlotte replied, speaking of the whole talking animal thing. She didn't share Cait's grin however, merely looking at the other woman with a somewhat blank stare. Could she say her peoples beliefs were any better, though? She couldn't, honestly.

[color=bc8dbf]"My people...well truthfully, we have a rather...complicated relationship with them."[/color] She tried to think of a good way to put it in a way Cait might understand. [color=bc8dbf]"Most revere the stars as Guides, as well as beacons of safety and bringers of knowledge. There's an entire level in the tower that has an accurate depiction of the stars in the region, made out of bright gemstones embedded into the ceiling for study. It's called the Planetarium."[/color] She doubted Cait would have a word for that, but it was important regardless. [color=bc8dbf]"The tower is quite high up as well, and offers quite the pleasant views from its many balconies, and the observatory on the upper floors is one of the places I miss quite a bit..."[/color] Realizing she was getting a bit off topic, Charlotte cleared her throat.

[color=bc8dbf]"Erm, a bit off topic. Anyways. At the same time, my people think the stars are messages or messengers from some sort of powerful beings. Beings too powerful and alien for the human mind to really comprehend. They say that the cosmos, the night sky, and the stars, are domains of creatures far beyond humans current understanding and that is why the first Deacon Astril built the tower. He wanted to get closer to the sky and commune with these beings."[/color] She scoffed at the idea, though. [color=bc8dbf]"Of course, he never succeeded."[/color] Charlotte shook her head. [color=bc8dbf]"I don't believe them, but I'm not going to say I know what they are. They are what they are to me. Points of light in the sky useful for navigation and a pleasant distraction."[/color] After a small moment of silence, Charlotte hummed.

[color=bc8dbf]"Which gives me an idea. The sky is as unchanging as my homeland."[/color] She said, glancing over to Cait. "[color=bc8dbf]Would your people have ever mapped the stars? A Star Chart?"[/color]
