"Oh! Yeah that would make sense," Blake replied. He smiled at the thought of another person getting their wish, his was kind of stupid anyway, "What else grants wishes?" he asked.

Jinx had to think of that for a moment. "Let's see tossing a penny into a well or fountain, blowing all the candles out of a birthday cake and the first star in the sky." Those were the only ones she could think of or knew.

"Well we can't do any of those right now," Blake said, "SO I guess we should find something else to do..." He paused, "I wish I knew what we could do..."

JInx shurggged. "I really don't know. The sky is still pretty. Do you know what any of the constellations are called? I know that one is the Big Dipper/" She pointed to the one shaped like a spoon.

Blake nodded, "Sure!" he said. He pointed to a smaller spoon shaped constellation, "That's The little Dipper." He moved his paw diagonal from the spoon's handle, "And the one that looks like an 'M'? That's Cassiopeia. And to the left of the little dipper is Draco..." It was almost surprising how smart Blake could be sometimes. Maybe not about everything, especially with myths and such...But he knew lots of things.

Jinx looked to the ones Blake pointed to. "Really? I didn't know that. Well, I mean I didn't know where they were. So, if that's Cassiopeia where is Andromeda?" She looked in the sky but most just looked like dots in the blackness. Pretty, but hard to find the shapes.

Blake looked around the sky for a second. He traced straight down from Cassiopeia with his paw then pointed at a bunch of stars.
"Right there," he answered with a definite nod.

Jinx looked to where Blake pointed. "Oh, I think I see it." She squinted her eyes to try and see it. Still just looked like points of light to her. She giggled a little as that's all they would really look like, but she knew they were something more. Just like everyone she met was more then meets the eye.

Blake nodded, "Some of them can be hard to see. You just have to know what stars to really look for is all..." He'd always figured stars in constellations were brighter than others...

JInx nodded. "Okay, I see. I guess that makes sense. I mean if there are certain stars, like the Noth Star, it would help in finding them." Jinx looked again into the sky.

"Exactly," Blake replied. He looked back at the sky and pointed to two rather bright stars which looked fairly close to one another, "That's Castor and Pollux. They're the brightest stars in the Gemini constellation. You can tell which ones they are because of their closeness."

"And then they are the twins Caster and Pollux from Greek myth right?" Jinx had done a little reading. Though, she could only read books on the bottom shelves. Anything higher in a library would be out of the clumbsy ones reach.

Blake nodded, "I think so. Though I don't really remember the myth. Just the twins....The gods and goddesses are easier to remember but I don't think there are stars named after them. Though some of them are guardians of the different zodiac constellations."
Blake was really smarter than most gave him credit for. He knew a lot of ancient history as well as some other things, but it was rather rare he got to share his intelligence. But he liked everyone thinking he was clueless, because then he wasn't bothered by the curious Namir to answer questions.

Jinx nodded. "That sounds right to me. What Zodiac sign are you? I'm not sure of mine. I wonder which in the sky it is?" She looked back up. What was the more clumbsy sign there was? Whatever it was was surely her sign.

"Me?" Blake asked. He had to stop and think about that. "I think I'm a Scorpio. That's kinda cool I guess. Though I've never thought of myself as a giant scorpion." He looked at the sky, "And I don't think you can see it right now..."
