[immeasurably]

[ Settled into a corner of one of the smaller cafes that dot the Entertainment District, David sips on a mug of something warm and fragrant as he works on gathering his thoughts. He’s still wearing Cassian’s jacket, which he’s yet to return, but otherwise seems to be in good spirits despite a small lizard-like creature doing its best to gnaw on his fingers. ]

So, I figure this might be a shot in the dark — or maybe I’m better off looking around the Station — but I was wondering if there was any information available on the local celestial bodies, constellations, charts, that kind of thing.

It’s been awhile since I studied.

[ Years, honestly, but anything has got to be better than sitting around at the starter housing, twiddling his thumbs and waiting for inspiration to strike. That and there was a lot to be learned from things like this, from the names and the stories people spun around their stars and planets. ]

Don’t want to get rusty.

[ It's not even that he has an issue with the idea — anything is better than a dog, even if a dog is the default choice for most people — so much as he has no idea what the policy of pets in their starter housing is like. What his roommate will think of it.

Still, it prompts a smile, wide and bright and amused. David's is a face that seems to be made for smiling. ]

Maybe, but every star has its story and every story is worth hearing.

This is true. I think there is a romance in that way of thinking.

[a little shake of his head, almost shy]

But I have always enjoyed my stars and my stories.

Guess so. [ A verbal shrug; he'd never really thought of it that way, surprisingly, but would doubtless be taking it into consideration in the future. Assuming he ever makes any progress in his endeavor. ]

Then I'll be sure to pass along what I find.

[he smiles at that]

I would like that. Out of curiosity, mainly - I'm not educated about the stars, but I do enjoy them.
