Serenity was up early, a little too early to her liking. Normally, she had no problems sleeping, but her body refused to stay asleep for much longer. Making her way out to the Moon Palace's gardens, a robe draped around her small form, she curled up on a bench to watch the Earth rise over the horizon.
Join the princess?

Now Endymion is here. He makes a polite greeting to the blonde princess he knows is not his own world's, but he has a pleasant greeting for her all the same.
"It looks beautiful at this time of day," he remarks. "Do we seem like that to you all the time?" Everything on Earth is so small from here.

"Prince Endymion!" She blushes, flustered beyond belief. She knows who he is, even if he isn't her prince. "The... We don't think like that. I swear."

"I know that," he promises her. "I'm sorry. I was speaking thoughtlessly."

She really could watch the Earth all day. The swirling clouds, relentless storms, they were beautiful.

"All right. Maybe 10 more minutes? I just want to finish watching the Earth rise."

If she knows the princess is there, she doesn't greet the other girl. Perhaps it's easier to block her out, to only enjoy the rare treat of this view from space. But the quiet can't last long.

"Mercury... up early to watch the Earth rise too?"

She only needs the sight in front of her, the knowledge that she's in the moon kingdom, to know it's true. But she also knows how it changed, changes, will change. She keeps herself impassive, neither snapping as a part of her would like to, nor warming up to her chance companion.
"I haven't seen it in a long time," she says carefully. That much is true, and yet can be understood a number of ways.

She pauses, watching some of the clouds swirl for a moment. "It help me think."
