I Spy with my Eye

[Percy is laying on his back using the spyglass Lemony gave him for Christmas to look at the stars. No, this is not an effective way to stargaze. Why do you ask?]

Has anyone ever come up here during different seasons to chart the stars? They all look kinda the same to me.

So it takes a while? I din't know if I have that kind of patience.

Well, if you're particularly observant and have a good idea for details, it may be faster. But if you wish to track them across a full cycle of the seasons - well, that takes time, and the stars have infinite patience.

The sky here is unfamiliar to me - I hadn't thought to see if there are any star charts in the library, though.

It sounds really hard.

There is one, but it's only part of the sky. And no one's thought to do more.

[voice]

[lioneyed]

Not necessarily hard, but it can be time consuming.

Hmm. I'd add to them if the weather wasn't so cold out.

It's not so bad. It kinda reminds me of home.

[voice]

[lioneyed]

Really? It was rare to see snow, where I'm from - so this seems rather chilly to me.

[voice]

[waterproofed]

Oh, yeah, I see snow all the time back home. I was actually in a place with lots of ice and snow right before I came here.

[voice]

[lioneyed]

That sounds rather miserable to me. It's very pretty to look at, but I've decided I don't like being outside in it. Much like storms.

[heh, and speaking with the son of the Stormbringer] The weather's usually pretty nice around here, so I don't think you have to worry about that.

[voice]

[lioneyed]

Well, that's good to know. Perhaps I'll do some stargazing when it warms up a touch.

[and this one is from fantasy-Greece. What do you mean it's below freezing more than two days a year?]
