Cassius does not stop immediately when Esteemed Senior Engineer Argyros stops, merely closes the distance between them until he is close enough to touch (and even then, he teeters dangerously close to invading Esteemed Senior Engineer Argyros’ personal bubble, the heat of the man drawing him in so).
His attention on Esteemed Senior Engineer Argyros does not waver in the slightest, even as Esteemed Senior Engineer Argyros’ mismatched eyes do.
You’re in orbit right now.
Cassius opens his mouth, a question on the tip of his tongue -
You know. Space. The space just around the planet, in fact.
- and closes his mouth immediately after, new questions sprouting forth even as the weight of Esteemed Senior Engineer Argyros sinks in.
Cassius is no longer on Earth. No longer upon familiar soil. Instead he is above it. In… space. In that blackened curtain his Garden’s sky is a poor imitation of, where the moon hangs bright and the sun warms his skin and the stars -
The drone returns in twofold now, Cassius’ expression lighting up as much as his otherness will allow (which is, of course, not a lot).
“We are in the sky?” he asks, pushing a little more into Esteemed Senior Engineer Argyros’ personal bubble. “How is this possible, Esteemed Senior Engineer Argyros, when we are in a ship? Are they not meant for sailing through the ocean?”
