"Talk" Walk He knew he wasn't supposed to go beyond pack lands on his own before he turned one, but Ignis couldn't help himself. There was so much outside of Abaven to see, but that wasn't the reason he had gone out tonight. The crimson boy couldn't sleep. He had tried, but it seemed that every time he closed his eyes, the memory of his father's abandonment would send him into unrest. He didn't talk to anyone about his feelings on that subject. Instead, he tried to bury it away and pretend that it didn't bother him. But he wasn't sure how long he could keep that up... He made it to the top of the cliffs, the cool night air sweeping gently against his fur as he stared at the ocean below. His gaze lingered on the horizon, more specifically, where the ocean and sky seemed to blend together. He had never seen anything quite like that before, but what really drew his attention was the lights that started to shoot across his field of vision. Ears perked and eyes widened as suddenly, hundreds of lights began to dance across the sky, flitting from one end to the other. "Shooting stars?" He breathed with amazement. He had never seen shooting stars before, and the fact that he got to bear witness to this phenomenon filled him with wonder and awe. He sat down, careful not to get too close to the edge of the cliff as he watched the stars dance across the sky.

It was a rare night away from her children… Philomena had gone out on a mission, one that had taken most of the day and she was honestly slowly making her way home. The female had been searching for creatures to become companions to her children… but thus far hadn’t found anything. It was disappointing to say the least… and the female could only hope that the children weren’t driving their uncle too crazy. Evangelos had apparently snuck away from the den under No Face’s watch once… hence why with her longer trip she had put them in Ulric’s care. She was sure her brother was doing fine with them though. They were probably all excited to meet more family.

It made her yearn for her parents. She hadn’t seen any sign of her mother since her return and it broke Philomena’s heart. But still… she wasn’t going to give up chasing her dreams. Her mother would want her to be happy. Less reckless, probably, but hey…

Moving along the cliffs Philly’s gaze was suddenly drawn skyward. The movement of light was hard to miss… and at first Philomena dismissed it. Until it happened again. Again… and again. Philomena’s eyes widened as the stars began falling across the horizon like crazy.

“Gods…” Philomena muttered. She looked around after a few moments and it was only then that her gaze fell on a pup… and one so brilliantly red she would have mistaken him as a bloodied figure at first. Philomena approached him slowly, keeping a respectful distance. Softly she barked to the stranger. “Curious sight, is it not?”

"Talk" Walk He was so entranced with the sight of the stars flying across the sky that he didn't notice he had company until the voice of another nearly startled him. He whipped his head around until his gaze fell on a woman that was as big as his uncle and...wait, what was that on her head? He had never seen anyone with fur that long before, and it seemed tonight would be full of interesting phenomena! "It is! I've never seen the stars move like that before," He turned his attention back to them for a moment, watching as they flew overhead until the disappeared. Did stars go anywhere? Did they really move from place to place? From what he saw so far, they seemed to just sit in the same place every night, but what if they did travel? The thought of travel kind of struck a chord with him. His father was out there somewhere...traveling...at least, that's what he thought. It wasn't right...but what could he do? He wasn't wanted by his father. He dropped his gaze from the stars then to stare at the ocean once more, then he suddenly remembered he had company. He turned around to face the stranger, an embarrassed look on his face as he had almost forgotten she was there. Luckily for him, the odd sight of this she-wolf with her long fur was distracting him from his troublesome thoughts. "I'm Ignis, by the way! Who're you?" As much as he wanted to ask about her fur, he figured it was best to start with introductions first. Though he was sure that him staring was pretty obvious too, but he would do his best to remain patient!
