"why do moons tend to linger around unicorns?"
"safety in numbers, perhaps?"
"but moons have little defense against an aggressive dark star; if anything, lingering around them makes it more likely for several dark stars to form a coalition and absorb the light of a few moons. i once saw two assassins even attempt—and one succeed—to seize the unicorn's light. it's more of a danger than a boon."
"moons aren't that smart, though. all they do is float around aimlessly. well, save for following a unicorn. it's probably an instinct thing."
"i guess so."
"my bigger question is why the unicorn isn't bothered by a sun or two in its entourage."
"not even ariman consider suns threats to their quarry. what are the odds of a sun overtaking a unicorn and seizing her light?"
"fair enough."
