Juhani focused for a moment on the point of light her companion's slim finger pointed to.

"I am unsure," she replied, smiling. "But this one, here," she said taking hold of Belaya's hand and redirecting it. "That is my Cathar. That much I do know."

They laid there in silence, both simply content to enjoy the beauty of the heavens and each others' company.

"They will be expecting us at the Academy."

"Let's just stay a few more minutes."

Regardless of what the future might hold, for now, this was all there was.

And it was enough.
