It seemed like she was right. Someone else was present. Fenella remained silent as they approached and nodded in agreement to his greeting. Even if the stars were different here, it was indeed beautiful. She noted he had taken care to avoid her crude map in the sand and couldn’t help but slightly relax at his cautious action. Things like that took time and Fenella would need to study how the stars shifted over time to find a reliable guiding star.
"I’m studying them," she replied simply. It was the truth, after all. Even though he was nearly twice her size, it didn’t mean she automatically had to feel intimidated or threatened. There was also no reason for her to explain her reasoning behind her studying the skies besides pure interest.
Fenella stood at that moment and silently moved to face his perspective, giving him a brief tilt of her muzzle to look at the map she had been drawing. After a moment, she looked up at the sky and gestured with her nose in the direction where she had been mapping. "That’s the section I’m looking at right now. What do you think?"
She then moved back to her original spot but remained standing. Her body language was relaxed, but her mind was racing. There had to be a faster way to study the skies than what she was doing, but she didn’t have her father’s light. She couldn’t create beautiful, lifelike scenes around her that glowed like they did in the darkness. But she could definitely make as many maps in the sand as she needed to get a better idea of where she was. Who knew? Maybe this stranger had a clue she could use to her advantage.
