Drizzt tilted his head as he turned away from the sunset and looked back up at Malaika, noticing with a smile how nicely the pink and orange highlights played off of her white fur. "You know about all of that? For me it's just sunrises and sunsets."

Malaika smiled a little jokingly, and nodded. "For one who has been on this land for as long as I have been, you pick up the knowledge of more than a few. Bits of astrology is just one of them."

"I know that word, astrology. It means knowing stars and things right? I've thought of how neat it was to be able to see pictures in the stars." Drizzt was impressed; he had looked up at the sky before, and while they seemed so beautiful to him, he could never get the hang of seeing pictures, though he had noticed a few places with stars so close together that they looked like sparkling clouds, and he could spot pictures in clouds pretty easily.

"Oops, a slip of the tongue, I meant astronomy. Alas, though I used to be quite talented in it as a child, I can no longer bring myself to do the practice of astrology." She sighed before gazing up at the clouds longingly, wondering what it would be like to be so close to them.

"Oh." Drizzt honestly didn't know the difference between the two; to him, knowing stars was knowing stars, but he decided not to say anything. He felt that right now, the last thing he wanted to do was show his ignorance. Instead, he followed Malaika's gaze upward to the stars that were only just beginning to show themselves. "How do you think the stars get up there?"

Malaika made no movement. "Different cultures have different explanations for them. Some myths say that gods were imprisoned in the form of these stars either to be rewarded or punished for eternity. Others, namely the humans, have a more scientific approach, which is out of my understanding."

"That seems a little sad, thinking something so pretty are really people who don't want to be there. And I'll take your word for it on the humans' explanation. Sometimes I don't believe their explanations for things anyway." He smiled as he looked up. "I did hear a bit of a story once about them; it said that the night sky was a really big cloth and the stars were made by a million hummingbirds who flew up high and poked holes in the cloth with their beaks before flying away."
