Single Sisters Stick Together

Walk | Talk | Think Gale laughed, grateful for it, as Astrea wondered at her being there upon the clifftops instead of racing across the beach. That must have been the impression she made on all of them, an energetic little beast that was only happy when she was running. While it was not altogether untrue, Gale knew herself better. Running was possibly the quickest and easiest way to feel the wind hitting her face, to feel it carry her along as she exerted her body and became, as close as she ever would, her element. But there were also the quiet moments, the stillness that was only disturbed by the faintest rustles of a breeze, gentle brushes that would have been lost had she not learned to slow down and wait. "The wind doesn't always howl," she informed her starry sister through a relaxed smile, "it whispers too." As it currently was, given the way Astrea's feathers rustled. Stargazer was too clever for her though. Gale's simplistic excuse for being there was seen through almost immediately, and she was called out on it in a gentle manner that was more coaxing than it was prodding. And because of that gentleness, the grey-lavender girl felt inclined to bare her secret. "Do you ever feel like your getting left behind?" Maybe that was not the best way to explain it. "Like...everyone's busy making lives of their own, and you're stuck with the same-old-same-old?" She probably did not. After all, Astrea had made friends, dragged some spotted guy home, even if he was no longer around. "I feel...left out," Gale admitted, lowering her gaze with a saddened expression. A sudden self-consciousness stole through her, causing her ears to tuck and her cheeks to redden slightly beneath her pale fur. "This probably isn't making any sense to you," she laughed humorlessly, shaking her head with a slight bitterness to her smile. Could she really be the only one who felt that way? |
