Solange led the way to the little hollow in the heart of Fortune Park. It was usually peaceful in the midst of this knot of trees. At night it might look like an opportunity to be raped; she wasn't concerned. Tonight she had an escort of sorts, and on any other night she was still Sailor Sun. She chose her footing carefully, not desiring a turned ankle for her trouble. When finally she emerged into the hollow, with it's perfect circle of sky above, she slid to the ground and sat. A little dew, but not too bad.
She glanced up. "This is a place I come all the time. No one else, really, seems to come here, too. I come here a lot just to look at the stars." She slid back to lay on her back, her hair fanning out around her as she did. She suddenly felt a little silly. She had just met this man, and now she wanted to share this with him? She hoped he didn't laugh. She was being sincere.
"Do you ever just look at the stars and wonder what's out there? Like... other peoples, places... kingdoms..." the last word was a whisper and she wanted to kick herself for it. She was such an idealist, thinking that the Silver Millennium archives were meant literally. A kingdom on the moon? Absurd.
