“The stars come from the river of the underworld. At least, in the older stories.” Be hadn’t really bothered to give much thought about it, because, well, he clearly existed in the universe as-is, so certainly that seemed plausible enough to him. Or at least, his point of view on reality, since that was a story from his mother's people . “In science they’re suppose to be made of hydrogen and stuff,” His head tilted, unsure. I don’t know if I have anything fancy to show you in return.” 

    “Magic isn’t real,” he chimed in. Lies, of course, he’d seen some things, but that didn’t mean talking about it was wise. Imagine if it got out and people began to actually see it all? That would be a disaster.

    “I’m so sorry. We were being stared at.”

elliot[text]: what if I'm already awake because the moon never turned off the night before anyway?

[Text:] Are you sure you even have the right phone on you. 

Elliot felt a little bit silly, he’d woken up somewhere unfamiliar, and was just kind of wandering around. He had the distinct feeling he ought to be taking a nap, or otherwise staying down, but he was feeling restless. “Excuse me,” he said to the soonest available person, “I seem to have lost my memory, can I have yours instead?” 

Elliot should have knownbetter, he really really should have. But he knew it was gettingwarmer soon, and he hadn't breached in a while to pay attention to the weather from the air. He had just thought the fish were migrating early and went to follow them out of general curiosity, he hadn't expected the current to change to something much choppier. And in a panic, he did what he thought would be safest ; to hole up in a shelter on shore since he was so close to the shelf-line anyway, and didn't want to be battered against the rocks. However the small covered part of the beach he found didn't itself seem to have many rocks on it, so he settled for cocooning himself in a pile of sand under a tree with some driftwood. The rain didn't bother him anyway. Just the currents. And he could sleep now.

"Oh I don't know, I don't normally pay that much attention to that kind of thing?" Elliot replied, looking up from his table, somewhat curious as to what brought this on.
