"Mars? Is that in the same system as Earth?" It's not familiar to Wing, but then it's likely on their star charts with a simple alpha-numeric label, the same as Theophany had been, particularly if the race wasn't exploring outside their own solar system yet. "I've never met anyone from Mars so I can't say it's a giveaway, but I will say I find it a nice change compared to the pale skinned humans."

Yes, yes, Wing is very white himself. But he also has very stylish red flashing and silver gray underplating thank you.

"And I think the candle is what's important, along with you taking the action to gift it with light. Choosing a means of doing so that fits you best I think quite appropriate!" He grins, because he finds that not only sensible but quite beautifully symbolic as well. Wing kneels then, settling comfortably on his heelplates and holds a hand out. "Might I make use of one of your matches then?"
