Stitches took Toz's stare as the precursor of something unpleasant and quickly pulled himself together and continued moving the jellyfish meat. Since Stitches moved around and avoided catching Toz's attention, he didn't notice that Toz wasn't staring at him or about to cut him to pieces. The only thing in Toz's eyes were the stars whose light had been blocked by Stitches' head and everything else in the way.
It wasn't important what had blocked the starlight. What Toz found important was the fact that the stars still shone in the darkness of the Void. His magic was based on the fact that darkness covered everything. Despite the brightness of the stars, they couldn't match the depth of the darkness surrounding them. But Toz had forgotten that it went both ways. Just like the stars couldn't outshine the darkness, the darkness couldn't erase the light.
