[ Aware though he is of Sylvain's gaze on him, Claude doesn't move his own from the stars above as he notes which ones he now remembers the name of from studying constellations and astronomy books to match them to a new set for this new place. Odd, he thinks, that now it takes him a second to concentrate to remember the ones over Derdriu, and even further concentration to remember how the night skies where he'd grown up looked.
Time is a strange thing, and maybe that's what's also on Sylvain's mind when he asks his question. Claude waits until he can tell the other's eyes are elsewhere before shifting his own to look over without lowering his head. There's a strong temptation to answer that question with another one of his own, and even as he considers it he still could. It wouldn't be difficult.
But that'd be yet another deflection, wouldn't it? Trying something different can't hurt. ]
There's parts of Derdriu I miss, yes. I think that it's what I chose in the Horizon when I didn't have my memories probably makes it pointless to lie and say otherwise.
[ Since he'd thought about it for a second all the same then decided to not do it, and now he looks back up at the sky once more. ]
These days, sometimes it feels farther away than it probably should. What about you, regretting your choice to be stuck in the desert?
