[Video/Action] Stargazing

(Action)

[It was early in the night in Nova City, and a certain young princess was in her room in Satsuki's home, dressed for bed, but sitting by a open window and looking up at a clear night sky with a full moon. Anastasia was still thinking about her best friend who has long since returned home.

Going for a walk is very tempting right now, but she doesn't know where she can safely go alone at this hour. She really wants someone to talk to, though, so she grabs her phone and turns on to a video feed, hoping there are others awake. Feel free to pass by her open window and tell her to go to bed.]

"Good evening, everyone. Can you tell me about superstitions revolving around your respective worlds' moon?"

"That's quite violent..."

[The rise of her own nation was no better.]

"Indeed. All of which hurts me. I went to the beach with my best friend once... I needed help getting around..."

[There's a faint noise on his end. It's somewhere between a tsk and a sigh.]

My sympathies. But hey, it's fall now and winter won't be that long off. Before you know it, maybe you'll be helping people get around.

"That's true. I'm already able to move around for a short time. But how can I help anyone? I'm still kind of small and can't do a lot on my own."

[She'll get there. She'll be an adult before she knows it.]

I find size is no barrier to lending anyone a helping hand.

What are you good at? What are you really passionate about? Everybody's got them. You could start with those.

[She was quiet for a long moment.]

"My friends and I have been so focused on keeping me safe that I never thought about it..."

Audio

[lunarlegionnaire]

Hmm.

[So is he.]

...yeah, I guess your personal safety needs to come first before you can help anyone. Never hurts to think about it though. And for all you know, you could already be helping someone and you don't even know it.

"I wonder who and how, though? Maybe I'll ask my friends some time."

[lunarlegionnaire]

Try it. The answers might surprise you.

[The moon's shining brighter in the sky. It's about time for him to do his Lord's work.]

Hey, gotta run for now. Nice talking to you. Sleep tight and let me know how it goes sometime, huh?

[And as he dons his jet and silver garb and leaps into the night, he realizes this little conversation is kinda what he needed. A respite in the neverending war to keep his god's light shining in the darkness. In that, she's certainly lent him a helping hand. And she'll never know it.]

"Good night, Sir Marc. Thank you for talking with me."

[While she was all set to go to bed, she wasn't quite ready to sleep. She was going to continue sitting by the open window, looking up at the night sky, reflecting on this conversation.]
