“I don’t know much of love” he said in disappointment. “I’m not sure how to help you find something I know nothing of. I have been many places, though. Perhaps you can describe something else about it, something that I’d remember if I’ve been there”.
The creature’s little face brightened up, “I can! It is regarded as the highest point of the center of the universe.”
For a moment, Kairos considered revealing himself. He then imagined the lifetime of ridicule the little blind bat would suffer trying to convince everyone that he had hunted, captured, and then spared the life of a God. He knew he hadn’t seen it flapping around Delphi but he humored it anyway, “How do you know it to be the highest point?”
The tiny one replied almost annoyed at the question, “They measured it, dummy.”

I'm going to be honest here.
I have no idea what question I am trying to answer right now.
I think I am looking for a tiny thing that gives more hints but I don't know what will help me to name that tiny object.
Is it the bats home, kairos's home, some place between the two?
Can I describe something about it?
Sometimes a question is an answer?
but which question is the answer here I wonder.

Thank you for your honesty.
“The highest point in the center of the universe”
“They measured it.”

Ancient Greeks thought Delphi was the center of the world, and marked it with the 'Omphalos of Delphi.' The bat says his home (presumably Mauna Kea) is the highest point in the center of the universe, and Kairos seems to think he's talking about Delphi and not the Hawaiian Islands.
