"My name i-is Bo... I a-apologize for my stuttering... I-I have a phobia of p-people taller t-then me..."

Ah. that was what it was. "Well, thank you for telling me, Bo, now I know you won't mind if I sit down whenever we talk. I don't like standing."
Upon seeing Bo look into the sky, Thomas looked up too. His mind began to race. This type of plain, almost non-descript thing always made his brain move quickly. Tiny things that have magical, limitless meanings. Like numbers. Thomas was great with numbers. These stars were even better. He wondered why he never looked at the night sky before. Staring at it for a while made it look like a blanket, and deceptively close. Thomas stretched his hand towards the sky to feel it, but obviously could not reach it. Instead, he lowered his hand and carried on making patterns. Then, he got an idea.

"The s-stars... Are all mixed up...Almost l-like... Someone... P-Pulled them off and s-scattered them a new...", Bo had said.

"I'll be right back. I have the greatest idea."

Thomas got up and ran inside. The only times he would even have the energy to run would be when a great idea comes to him. He liked to think that nothing could stop him from doing what he wished to, when he really wanted to, but those times were few and far between. He rushed to his room, skidding to a stop so he halted right at the door, and ran inside. He crashed through everything and grabbed a pencil, a large piece of paper, and the largest clipboard he could find, only slightly larger than a normal clip board. It would have to do. This task would be much more difficult, but it should work. After making sure he was familiar with the size of his devices, he ran back down, and made sure to walk to Bo, sitting down quietly next to her, and then looking at the sky. While his eyes saw, his hands worked, like a type-writer, making sure to dot each star down. He did not remove his sight from the stars, or stop his hands unless it was to check his work. Checking his work after a few stars, he saw that they were pretty accurate, and Thomas continued to mark them all.

"Look at me, I'm an astrologer. This is definitely something to look at when it will be finished. If we ever get out of here, I'll make sure to give everyone a copy so that we could all make our own constellations later on."
