" I promise. I was just as shocked. It left me asking why someone so. . . amazing would erase their memories? What possessed them to do such a thing? "
" Its probably. . .a lot to process that someone who is now happily with you was capable of such things. "
She slowly lifted Ari right back up into her arms as she walked back towards the tent.
Heading inside, and sitting her right down on her bedroll for the night

β I-Is that so..? β
That was a lot to be made aware of so suddenly.. she wasn't sure how to even respond to it all..
But following the tap to her nose, giving her just a second to process everything, she nodded..
No point worrying too much for now..
β Y-Yeah.. if we can +
little nose. A little tap.
" Traversing the aetheric sea was a simple task for me back then. Perhaps one day. . .if I ever find a way? We can do it together. Wouldn't that be neat? "
" I don't know much of my civilization. Of where I came from. But. . .from the records Shorekeeper were able to give me? Traveling the stars was a simple task I could do. "
She would say with such a wide little smile on her face, tapping Ari's cute

β Cosmic Rose... That's a pretty name.. β
So far apart.. but, it did kinda make sense that they all had just one name, how would people even go about making sections out of this..?
But then what was said after.. that shocked her.. eyes wide open and ears standing on end.. +
" This whole span? "
She gesture with her hand from one massive glowing star, all the way to the other, stopping right outside of the other part of the cliffeside.
" From there. IS known as the Cosmic Rose. "
She would wink at the other.

β Mmm.. β
No words, just a calm and peaceful smile, all in response to Rover's own.. she felt like she didn't need to speak.. at least to make her appreciation known.
But she did look up, when Rover did so too.. mentioning the stars once more.
And just nodding her hesd in +
" I won't leave it. For even a moment. "
Feeling such delicate arms wrapped around her.
Arms she wanted to protect always. Keep close, and embrace whenever she got the chance.
" You may not have many people to look at the sky for now. "
--
β Hmm..? β
It was curious.. she'd looked at the sky many times, thought of it in many ways.. but she never quite saw it like this..
A soft little hum as she found herself sat again..
And while nuzzling back, draping her arms over Rover's shoulders.. nodding after, just in +
She glances at Ari, and leans in. Nuzzling their noses together with a soft chuckle.
" That no matter how big the world is, no matter how far apart we may be? We are always looking up at the same stars. The very same sky. "
" That? Is the beauty of it. "
Rover would say glancing up at the sky with Ari, and as she did so.
" So many. So vast. . . and yet the sky is so large, and intimidating. It seems almost too much. Yet every single star twinkles. "
--
It was a new sensation.. being lifted so casually off of her lap, even if she might've been a bit light..
And the position too.. it was perfect, for looking at the sky and at Rover alike.
A peaceful smile on her face.. even as they were approaching said cliff.. +
Rover lowered herself down and made sure Ari was comfortably sat in her lap again.
" No matter where I am? Shorekeeper is looking up at the very same sky as me. Thinking the very same thing. "
--
Rover happily stood up, yet Ari? Would come to find how strong Rover was physically at least.
When she lifted the bunny woman up into her arms, and cradled her like a freshly wedded bride.
Walking towards the cliff side where they camped, the darkest part of the sky
--
β Maybe so.. β
The silence had her pausing herself.. and when she saw her approaching, making her breathing briefly hitch...
Ari didn't move away, she took every moment of that kiss which she was allowed to have, even if it made her beet red in the end..
Letting out a heavy +
