While Castor did agree with a lot of what Petra was saying, he still felt reluctant to dismiss every single bad sign. His grandmother had balanced astronomy and astrology very well, and though his mother had ardently rejected the idea that the stars could tell you any more about the future than how the universe would eventually end, the superstition had passed down to Castor; not enough to make him actively look for the signs and try to decode them, but enough that if he spotted them, he always took notice.
He was just gathering the words to voice this opinion - even with the fun anecdote about what his nan thought the sky said on the night he was born - when Cassie piped up. He immediately shrunk into himself, feeling too big for his skin, and stretched a smile across his face. "I see...I see what you mean," he said instead, his smile a little too tight on his teeth. Despite Petra's reassurances, Castor still wasn't totally comfortable around Cassie. He said that like he was comfortable around anyone! But his point stood. "It's quite interesting, though."
