once in a lifetime

Nn... not that one.

[Arms laden with a telescope and a blanket, you could see this Ven frantically running around from world room to world room. He takes one look at the sky, frowns, and exits almost immediately, scooting off to the next room hastily with decisiveness.]

Not that one either...

[The next door you open will show this little boy standing in the doorway, looking up at you.]

Oh... hi!

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

... hey!

[Hello, tiny kid. Something about you seems awfully familiar.]

Oops, wrong room. Sorry.

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

[He won't be given any hints consciously, he has no idea who you are. But the apple scent suddenly clinging in the air might.]

What are you lookin' for?

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

[Sadly, the only thing that enters his mind with this fact is that "MAN, MY TWIN IS GONNA LOVE THIS KID."]

A room with the correct sky. There's going to be a winter equinox and a lunar eclipse at the same time, and I don't want to miss it.

[... and so the star dork strikes again.]

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

Oh! I know! I know!

[He grabs his hand and tugs him through the room that the kid was just in. It's just a room full of toys, but Ren just leads him straight through another door, leading to a hallway. Two doors down he opens it up and shows Ven.]

How 'bout this one?

[TOYS EVERYWHERE-- oh, here we go.

What room is it.]

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

[Just a biiiiiiiig starry sky room. With the moon out of course.]

[Ven pulls out a star map he has, studying it, then the sky again carefully. When he realizes this is the view he's looking for, he grins.]

This is it!

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

[HOORAY! Happy kid is happy and giggling now.]

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

Heh, thanks. I was searching all day for this.

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

This is my daddy's favorite room. He brings mama here sometimes.

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

Really? ... wow, I can see why. This place is really pretty. And it's got a great view too.

Thanks for showing it to me.

[Hair ruffles IT'S NICE TO BE THE TALL ONE :D]

[He just beams up at him.]

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

What are you doing awake so late, though?

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

[He hesitates, but then looks down, looking guilty.]

Couldn't sleep.

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

... what's wrong?

[Kneels down to look at him better.]

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

nigh'mares.

[A-aw. Smiles a little]

Hey. You know, I used to get them too before. Looking at the stars help though. Wanna stay here and keep me company?

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

'Kay!

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

[Sets the blanket down so they can sit, setting up the telescope.]

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

[Auren climbs onto the blanket and settles down to look up at the stars.]

[He's got some snacks with him, but he pulls out his trusty camera first, training it at the sky.]

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

[Snacks?! What kinds of snacks.]

[deleo-amicus.livejournal.com]

[JUNK FOOD. HAVE AT IT.]

[didntfallfar.livejournal.com]

[HE IS TOTES GETTING INTO THAT NOW.]
