| Hale learns something new. (click to see the flash version (it is different from this one) |
 |
 Hale: Kitori? Kitori: Hello Hale. Hale: What the hell are you doing out here... it's getting pretty cold at night now. Kitori: Oh, you're right, it is chilly... I hadn't noticed... |
|
|
 Hale: What are you doing here anyway? Kitori: Watching the stars... Hale: ... the stars. Kitori: Yes - aren't they beautiful? |
 Hale: er, I suppose so. Kitori: ... the stars are always there. When I get homesick I look up at them - because no matter where you are on earth, you're under the same sky, and the stars can always lead you home. And they each have their own stories to tell as well. Hale: ... tell me?

 Kitori: See, this is the scorpion. Hale: I don't see it. Kitori: Sure you do. Just look a little harder. |
 Kitori: The scorpion was the downfall of Orion, in Greek myth. He was the hunting companion of Atermis, but her twin brother Apollo became jealous and sent a scorpion after Orion. When he turned to flee, the scorpion bit him on the heel. He hangs in the stars, always running from the scorpion. You can't see him at the moment - he's been chased away by the scorpion.

 Kitori: And see, there, that is Hercules, the half mortal son of Zeus, and the strongest man alive...
