Starblitz smiled slightly "Wow that all sounds amazing" she smiled slightly "Do you have any place in particular you liked the most?" she asked curiously

Any place he liked? Hmm... He nodded his head. "There is actually, theres this very small village in the badlands that I came across. I enjoyed it a lot." he answered. It was a interesting experience and what he loved the most of that place was. "The foals there loved my stories. They listened to all my different tales and ever so excitedly bounced for more when I was done with one." It went along with what he did, he was a storyteller. It's often how he made his money sometimes, if it wasn't helping ponies out doing random chores here and there, he did storytellings along with a magical show to represent what he said in his stories. The little foals all seemed to love it whenever he did his stories. He never really charge for them and only asked for donation and the parents more than happily gave. "You never really know what you have until you see these little foals. Without the same advantages we have they live amazing lives."

Starblitz listened intently not hearing much of anything about the badlands they wer little more then a legend to her since she had never seen a zebra. few ever ventured out this far and she'd heard of only one who had resided in the everfree forest. She sipped on her water as he spoke. "That's so interesting... I could only imagine what it's like down there. I know its mostly Savannah lands down south..."

He nodded his head. "Yeah, it can be quite beautiful, though it can get very cold at night. I don't think the pegasi do the weather in that area." He wasn't sure what areas they did control the weather and what areas they didn't. He was certain though they didn't control the weather for the whole world. There just isn't enough pegasi to do that, right? Heart String finished his drink and looked at Starblitz. "I do hope i'm not keeping you from doing anything important?"

Starblitz thought about what the colt mentioned wondering how weather was controled in the badlands before he spoke up again. "Me? Oh no... I usually stay up all night looking at the night sky thought my telescope, but I gave my self the night off to do some shopping and such. It's nice to talk to another pony to be honest."

So she was shopping. Heart String had only blinked before gaining a look of concern on his face. "I sure hope I didn't keep you from getting what you needed." He enjoyed talking with her, but at the same time he'd feel bad if he kept her from making it to the store on time. He didn't know what times the stores opened and closed. The waiter had came back out with their checks. Heart String looked over his bill and smiled, from his collar some bits magically flew out and landed on the bill as he paid for his own meal.

"Oh no I had already gotten everything before I stopped to eat." She chuckled softly "no need to worry you didn't make me miss out anything." She assured before checking her bill and pulling out a few bits from one of her bags.

A look of relief crossed his face as he nodded to what Starblitz said. The waiter, Martini, gathered the bits and the dirty dishes and he left back inside the cafe. Heart String looked around. "So do you have a profession?" he asked wondering what it was exactly that she did since it seemed to be able to allow for her to wake up at night and sleep through the day. Just a nice and simple question. The night began to settle and the ponies began to close up their stores for the day and return home for the night.

"I study the stars" Starblitz beamed proud of what she did though most didn't think much of it. "I essentially track the stars and constellations and map them over the span of the year. Some constellations are only visible in the summer while other are in the winter time. I also keep track of meteor events like star showers." the blue pony explained. "What ever finding I make I send to Manehattan for the other astroponeys."

Well that's an interesting profession she had. She keeps in touch with other ponies that are in the same field as she even though she lives all the way out here in ponyville. "That sound's amazing." stated Heart String. he took in this information and kept it to memory as he could possibly use some of this for his stories. "Are there other astroponies you contact? Or is it only in manehattan?" Certainly Starblitz needed to at least try and have an audience with Princess Luna, it could lead to something great for her thought Starblitz's as he kept his sky blue eyes on her.

"There aren't many, but there are others in major towns from what I understand. I mostly keep in contact with Manehattan and Fillydelphia. I just have a small advantage here in ponyvill because theres less lights. I believe one is considering moving to Hallow Shades near Foal Mountain to see how the sky differs. As far as I know I'm the furthest west though." Star explained with great excitement in her voice she was happy that another pony found what she did interesting. Most ponys thought she was a bit on the odd side sleeping all day and staying up all night. Some of the kids thought she was some kind of cranky old mare because she often yelled for them to stop being noisy around her cottage the first week she first moved into town. She apologized later on but that didn't change what they thought of her.

"ah, I see." he responded as he looked at her. Most of the other ponies by now had gone home and gone to bed. There's very few if any ponies still out at night, but this place is just like any other place in the world there's alway someone up at any given time. "This is quite fascinating, could you tell me a bit more about the stars? I'd like to know." he urged her on to talk more about what she did. The more information he could gather the better it'd help him in someway or another. he did keep in mind some of the things his father told him and to keep a mind open to new lesson's of any kind is an important one that his father had taught him.

Starblitz noticed most of the ponys packing up and such and nodded "Sure I don't mind one bit, but lets let the cafe close up. If anything I have to take my stuff back home if you don't mind the walk" she offered stepping away from the table. her horn glowed a faint turquoises as she gathered up her saddle bags.

He agreed with her to allow for the ponies to close up the cafe for the night. He would step around the table and come up to Starblitz's side. "Haha, no ponies even walked as much as I have." he joked given that he was a travel and walking was really all he did most of the time. It was tiresome, but he was use to it by now. Heart String walked everywhere, of course there were just some places he couldn't walk to which forced him to use the trains, but he used them if he had the bits so train rides only happened once in awhile. He'd walk alongside Starblitz as they would head back to her home.

Starblitz chuckled softly "You have a point." She grinned before leading the way back to her cottage. "So how much do you know about the stars?" She asked curious if he had heard anything about them from different parts of Equestira.

His own knowledge on the stars did vary from the different regions within Equestria, but in all honestly he didn't really know much about them. Most of his knowledge, though varies, all related around to how to find his way around such as; where north is? Which is the real north and which is the false north. Thing's that are used for navigational purposes. "Not really all that much, it varies from where I'm speaking about it from, but it's mostly just enough so I know my way around. I don't really know things like their histories, their meaning, I know a little bit of names, but not too much. Each region he went to said things differently and he had to relearn stuff every so often every time a different region told him things. It was interesting knowing that there was different ways that different places explained the same thing. Though there was a lot of common ground with them.

Starblitz nodded slightly. “Yeah… stars are always good for navigation just depends on which one you follow. Some constellations only appear in the winter like Orion or Canis Major. So if you’re looking for the star Seara which is part of Canis you won’t really find it. Instead you’re more likely to find Antres which belongs to Scorpius.” Starblitz explained as she gazed up at the sky. “Polaris, the current north star, is the one most ponys travel by… is part of the little dipper which can be seen year round. But the funny part is… the big dipper is actually part of a bigger collection” her horn glowed faintly as a faint line of neon turquoise light appeared a few feet in the air, high enough to be seen by the two ponys. The light connected up the bright dots near the moon forming the little dipper then extended further to make an odd skeleton. “The constellation of the Ursa Minor” she announced before painting the shape of a bear around the lines. “There’s also Ursa Major and Draco….” More lines took shape in the sky drawing out the shape of a bigger bear near the smaller one and a dragon with its tail coiling between the two the lines flowing effortlessly through the dark sky fleshing out the constellations from the star skeletons. “It’s believed that the Ursa Major and Minor climb down from the night sky sometimes and reside on earth… and at one point they both resided in the ever free forest not far from here. I sometimes wonder if that’s true for all of them…”

He listened intently to what Starblitz told him. His eyes looking to the magic she did and saw the shapes that she made out. It did interest him and gave him ideas for how to incorporate it into his own stories. It would be a nice addition to his stories. He smiled at the neon turquoise light that shaped out the constellations that she was talking about. It was interesting to know that certain stars only showed themselves at certain parts of the year. "Really? That is most interesting." he said in response about the Ursa Major and Minor coming down to Equestria from the night sky. "Have you ever met one in person before?" he asked.

Starblitz shook her head letting the illusions fade "No, I've only lived here a few months and going into the forest especially at night is considered dangerous... there are a lot of strange creatures in those woods very few ponys ever venture inside. It would be interesting to meet one though..." she mused aloud

Well that's a bit unfortunate, maybe? He wasn't sure if it was a good thing or not, he didn't know that the Ursa Minor or Major were even real creatures. He's met some crazy creatures on his own adventures but nothing that would related them to the constellation above, at least not that he was aware of. Though he did admit he liked dangerous areas mainly to learn about what made them so dangerous. It really is how he received those blue scars he has all over his body and legs. They were blue like his markings, so they could easily be mistaken for the same markings that were on his face. He considered the idea of going into the Ever free forest, but he might take into consideration that going at night really probably isn't a good idea especially since he's never visited it before. "That sounds quite interesting. Thank you for the information."
