Single Sisters Stick Together

Walk | Talk | Think It was definitely a good night for star gazing, Gale could tell just with a quick glance. That was promising considering she doubted she would be able to fall asleep anywhere very quickly. There was the matter of the quiet that she had not considered, the perfect conditions for her thoughts to go a little crazy all on their own without her being able to wrangle them in, but she hoped the clearness of the sky would allow her to focus solely on the stars, on their placement, and their uses in navigation. It was a field of study she had been wanting to devote extra time to, and now seemed a perfect time as any to start. Only she anticipated being alone. She was not used to coming up this way, at least not during the night, and was surprised when, as she lowered her grey-green gaze, she spotted her star-studded sister already sitting there atop the cliff. Surprised, Gale froze, stopped, and stared, allowing a moment for her mind to quickly wrap itself around the situation while Astrea welcomed her warmly to her private little hideaway near the stars and encouraged her to sit. Though she had not been expecting anyone to be there, Gale sighed with a relieved sort of smile. What better way to brighten her thoughts than by spending some time with her sister? "Thanks, Stargazer," she responded gratefully as she did as her sister suggested and traipsed closer to sit at her side. Her head tilted back and her eyes went skyward as her sibling questioned her being there at this time of night - surely she noticed this was not one of Gale's typical visits. She did not answer right away, sort of letting herself adjust to the fact she was going to be speaking her woes aloud, and after a moment sighed again. "I couldn't sleep." Of course it was not quite so simple as that. There was a particular reason why sleep was so evasive this night, but it was a start at least. "Laying there wasn't helping. Figured I'd come up here and clear my mind instead." |
