[Still far away, even in their realm itself. Enjolras decides to mentally place the stars on the same sort of mentally far away scale as he does things like, well, Tu-Vishan from any of their Earths. He's reasonably sure that their earths are still closer to each other than a world on a turtle's back. Not that it helps much with an exact understanding of the distance, but it is, at least, closer than thinking that Tony could, say, reach out and pluck a star out of the night sky or anything, even if he was able to reach the heavens.]
We had not gotten very far with any understanding of physics beyond the very basics, yet. That is, a few laws of it are obvious enough, gravity and the like, but the idea of such manipulation as you speak of is incredible. There is so much more than I could have conceived of. More... how did the English Bard put it, things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of, anyway.
I cannot imagine what it must be, to have seen such a thing as that. I think that I would feel rather small among such greats as all of that. I know that stars are not eternal, at least, but I think that we romanticize them so much as to forget the fact. I must imagine, at any rate, that it would still make one feel oddly small, to have found even a corner of the borders of the universe, if I understand it rightly.
And it would protect you for so long as that, as boring as it might be, in theory? To think of what is coming! It is only a shame so many of my friends must miss it.
[Well, it's interesting, really. And it's somewhat adorable to see Tony finding something he is equally as passionate about as Enjolras is about his country's politics. There's something about seeing him excited that makes Tony seem much more his age too, and it's somewhat endearing, though he would never quite say that to his face. It does make him want to ruffle Tony's hair or something, though he'd never dare, anyway.]
He'd love some science, Tony!
