She decides to work on completely cutting through the garlands while thinking of a response. ]
Um, if our sun has a solar system, I think those other stars have solar systems, too, probably? I'm not great at science, so I don't really know how it works, but... I don't think any stars really... flaunt their rays? But that could just be me....?
[ She's trying to be very careful with her words. ]

[ he says this so seriously, as if daring her not to look up. ]
no subject
[ She shields her eyes so she's not directly looking at the sun, but she looks up, as directed. ]

That's a goddamn safety hazard. We could have broken our necks tripping on it.

no subject
[ That's definitely a positive! An actual one. ]
