Aloysius seemed to really enjoy exchanging witticisms with Arachne. He would frequently walk next to Puddle Jumper so he could do that. He also seemed to enjoy talking with Pug, although Pug was generally more interested in working on his hat.
One night, as the party camped, Aloysius looked up at the star-filled
sky. "By Andromeda's flowing locks," he sighed, "the Celestial River runs
deep this night." Again, he seemed very peaceful and calm as he discussed
the stars and planets with whoever seemed interested. However, later in
the evening, someone asked him about where he was from and if he had family.
His joy at talking about the heavens quickly receded as he directed his
gaze towards the ground. "What has transpired before matters not now, and
on the 'morrow, now will matter not." With that, he rested his head on
his pack and turned his back to the party. Those nearest to him could have
sworn they heard a faint sniffling sound coming from the strange purple
man, until at last he fell asleep.
