As I reluctantly poured a cup of tea for this "star" I eyed him carefully.
"So what exactly am I to do in order to get you back into the sky, Ep...si...lon...?"
Such a difficult name...
Rather than answer, the man simply looked at me blankly. "Is it difficult?"

"Huh? What is?"

"My name. Is it difficult for you?"

I blinked. "Oh, er, well I... I suppose it is a bit... Much..."

"Call me by my nickname, then."

"Nickname?"

"Avior."

I looked at him, absorbing it. "Avior... Okay..."
That actually sounded nice..
He picked up the cup I'd filled and took a sip from it. "In response to your question..."
I looked at him as he set the glass back down. "... For me alone it will be impossible... Before I tell you more, I must ask something of you..."
I listened, chewing on his every word. "... Will you accompany me?"
I paused. "I'm... I'm sorry?"

"I do not understand the ways of your planet, therefore it isn't safe for me on my own. Besides that, I can't have anyone else knowing my identity."
I was the only one he trusted with this...?
"I will need you to accompany me."

"... So... You're asking me... To... Help you...?"

He nodded. I bit my lip. He got on my nerves, but I couldn't possibly turn down a request to help him get home...
"... Okay. I'll help."
While I expected a thank you, what I got was a, "Good." I rolled my eyes. This was going to be quite an adventure, indeed...
