Emerald takes the bottle from Ruby, and takes a small sip of the booze. Ruby is right, the stuff is disgusting. Emerald swallows it quickly, and it burns all the way down his throat and continues to do so slightly even in his stomach.
 
Not to be one upped, Ruby takes the bottle back and takes a smaller sip herself, managing to down that gulp this time.
 
“S-see? It’s not so bad right?”
 
Emerald gives a small smile and nods, then asks Ruby if she wants to stargaze on deck. Ruby nods, and the two climb up the stairs and sit at the bow of the ship. It’s night, but the moon is nice and bright, and they have no trouble getting to their destination.
 
A chilly wind blows across the ship, and Emerald and Ruby give a shiver. Huddling a little closer, Ruby takes another sip of the bottle and says,
 
“It tastes bad, but it makes me feel warmer at least.”
 
Emerald stares up at the mostly cloudless sky and asks her what constellations she knows.
 
Ruby looks up at the sky and points, “Umm… Big dipper!”
 
Emerald nods, and Ruby smiles and points again and says, “Little Dipper!”
 
Emerald takes his turn, and mentions how you can draw a line from the big dipper to a lot of other constellations, and points out Cygnus and Virgo. Even the little dipper, specifically Polaris, can help one find Pegasus and Cassiopeia.
 
Ruby looks up in awe and takes another swig, and then asks Emerald if he wants some.
