Dustin continues nodding along, staring at a point past Link's head as he thinks. The question had been more of an assessment rather than a way to compare notes; if this newcomer had said something along the lines of 'I know how to use a compass' or 'I've gone camping with a GPS before,' they might have a problem. Having people show up that aren't quite so reliant on technology is a surprising boon, Dustin has started to realize.

"And if the sun doesn't move the way you expect it to, or the stars aren't the same?" he follows up, arcing a heavy eyebrow. Both of these points are relevant here; the sun at least rises and sets in the correct cardinal directions, based on his comparisons with the map, but the day length being so much longer could throw off more precise calculations of distance traveled or time remaining before having to turn back. The night sky is also, obviously, quite different. Dustin should know - he's on this rooftop tonight to continue his stellar observations, almost a year in the making by now.
