If this had been earlier during his time in Darrow, Philip might have arched an eyebrow at that sort of statement and questioned the sanity of the man delivering it, but he's been here long enough now that all it does is give him a little flutter of interest. Out there can imply a lot of different things; space, most simply, but also the possibility of another world entirely, somewhere beyond the scope of what he will ever experience or understand.

In other circumstances it would have angered him, knowing there was something beyond his grasp, but there's no point in that sort of anger now. He can't do anything about it and neither can anyone else.

"Anywhere in particular out there or are you from all over?" he asks, watching as Bodhi lifts his gaze toward the sky. It's easier to look at him when he doesn't quite look back and Philip takes the opportunity to study his profile, the slope of his nose and the edge of his jaw. He's handsome, even if he is a little nervous.
