New Moon, stop that.

[The golden retriever pulls away from the SFC camera, sparing you all prolonged exposure from a close up of a doggy nose. There's the sound of boots in the sand before Saix picks up the SFC and starts to clean it with a sigh. From what can be seen, he's somewhere on the island, the night sky stretched out above him. Settled in the sand is also a telescope, and some papers and books set up on a nearby rock.]

[Soon enough, he realizes that the SFC is on. Oh well. He might as well put it to good use- he had been wondering something tonight. Maybe someone in Vatheon could be useful.]

[When he speaks, he actually sounds fairly relaxed and calm instead of stoic, rigid, or just plain... well, douchebaggy.]

Is there anyone who knows anything about astronomy, or anything to do with the night sky? I'm simply curious.

[None of the Organization were really people he could have a conversation with about his element, and he's in a 'good' mood tonight. His gaze shifts away from the SFC until he's looking up into the sky.]

It's waxing crescent tonight...

[Anyone up on the island tonight has a chance of running into Saix, who's found a nice spot on the beach. His black coat and gloves are folded off to the side, leaving him in a simple tank top and his pants as he looks through the telescope. If someone approaches, he'll look up and give a slight nod of recognition while his dog simply lays by the rocks, tail wagging.]

[As usual, Axel spends his time at sundown up on the rooftops where he can have the best view of the sunset over the dome. However, ever since he learned about what else their night here has to offer, he's taken the opportunity to wander out for a longer time and take in the scenery. It's quite mesmerizing from the usual things like the moon and the water, but also the jellyfish illuminated by the light from above the surface of the sea.

It's just not easy to see the stars from underwater, so they're the closest he has unless he takes to the island. It's with that in mind that Axel decides to stay out for a little while more. Within moments he steps out of a Corridor and onto the white sand of the beach up top. It's different here at night... but he thinks he likes it this way the most. There's nothing to bother him up here; he can just be alone with his thoughts and the real starlight.

He's dressed casually tonight, his still wounded wrist and hand hidden away in the loose sleeve of his hooded jacket and the other hand shoved into his pocket. Axel's not particularly focused on anything when suddenly the sight of someone up along the shore surprises him and he looks up having just stopped in place. ... It's a sight only Axel would really be familiar with, and yet he feels odd looking at it, as if something about it isn't right.

... Ah. That's it. It's because it's Isa he sees, even for a little while, and it's just not settling with him the way it should.

Too caught up in watching, Axel doesn't say or do anything. Not yet.]

To an extent, but I haven't done much beyond the occasional stargazing since I was in my twenties.

_{[What with work and then prison, whoops.]}
