Their name is "A☒EiOuNa".
Asteria was grateful they had a nickname;
she wasn't confident in her ability to pronounce that.
By now the suns were nearly done
sinking behind the water.
How'd this happen?
She'd lost track of the hours,
talking with a complete stranger...
Well she supposed they were acquaintances now,
and apparently Aeon wasn't leaving Seht anytime soon.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Asteria, or perhaps another day!",
the voidling called out, waving, as the kitera walked away.
"Yeah. Later," came the reply from over her turned shoulder,
paths again diverging, at least for a moment more.
