Astrea could not help but smile at her moon sister. She seemed to go right into the explanation on the goings on of the pack and remorse on her not being here for them all. Which Astrea understood, hell, if she had not come home when she did she would have miss all that drama too. "No need to say anymore sister. I understand the need to leave for a while, to find your own path..." Astrea smiled at her then, here pale eyes shinning. "I too had made my own way, that is how I got my new additions to my fur, I know you could not have missed them." She swished her tail causing the three feathers on them to flow to the movement. "I have one for each of our siblings, so that they are always close, yours is in its rightful place next to Sol's"
With her thoughts turned back to little Illume Astrea understood the need and want to have done something more, do anything to make it right... That is what she was doing, she was out trying to find the child. "No sister, there was nothing more that you could have done, do not worry to much, we will find her, I will find her, even if I die trying." A distant look came to Astrea's eyes as she turned her head up, she thought about the few moments she had with little Illume, she had been confused and hurt that she was not allowed to do anything. She had felt smothered by Volt's protectiveness. Astrea had tried to free the girl as much as she could but the damage had already been done, Astrea had failed Volt's girls by not protecting their spirits like she should have. If Astrea had been with the pack at their birth could she have change the outcome? Would the girls have been exploring this very field instead of the sea?
The Star Dreamer shock her head then, knowing that even if things had been different but what is is, and she could not change it now even if she wished it on the brightest star in the sky. "I think you would have liked her." Astrea turned from the sky her head tilting to her sister. "She is fawned of our spot, always wanting to get close to the light, like I try to get closer to the stars."
"She reminded me of us when we where her age. but mostly of you... She is vocal about her wants and outgoing where Sol and I are not. I just wish we could find her and bring her home, the family is missing the light we did not know we needed until her birth..." Astrea gave the Moon Dancer a very piercing look then. "Just like we found that we needed the bright glow of the moon when she left, as they needed the stars to guide when I went... Everyone of our family is needed and important to the health and happiness of the family and we only learn that when they are gone."
Astrea got up then, moving to her sister, the one that she found that she was miss like the sun missed it. She may not be a star like Sol was, but she did share the night with her where Sol was not able to, The stars and moons where companions where the sun was not. When she was close to her sister she nuzzled her neck showing Selini that her words where true, that she was missed and loved, even by the stars.
