Igniting The Stars

Long had it been since he'd actually look up at the night sky, the scenery driving his darkened soul into a spur of the moment action. He would trail across the desert, sweeping into the Plains as he lumbered across the fields into an area more secluded. He didn't want the prying eyes of his pack to trail him, so it would be a deed done outside of pack lands. The children he was sure, were bedded down for the night, and it had been quite a while since he and his mate had had any alone time to just...talk and be together.

He generally wasn't one to do this, let alone show affection or any sort of relative thing, but over the course of time, the small woman had slowly been changing him. He walked softly across the damp ground, heading towards the waters as amber gaze spotted the small island in the middle. That would surely be the perfect and private little spot, although he would have to swim across, the summer air was quite warm and he was sure his pelt would dry rather quickly.

Slipping into the water, the waterfowl eyed him with suspicion as he quietly swam towards the Isle. Here and there the dull sound of an owl or other nocturnal creature could be heard, as well as the threatening splashes of ducks or geese, but he paid them no mind as he felt the ground beneath him once more. It was a very short swim, no trouble at all. Shaking out his coat, he ducked beneath the willows trailing branches as he found the perfect spot to call his beloved. Tilting his head to the sky, he sent out a haunting call for Arietta.
