We all need a shinin' star on which we can depend

Caeli smirked when he made note of her usually being far too absorbed to be aware of what was around her, turning her head to follow his movements. "Truth be told, I was waiting for you," she admitted. It had been a tradition of theirs, and she had missed it when she had been away. She longed for her brothers warmth again, and to right all the wrongs. She felt like that had been a whole different her before, like she really had returned a different wolf. But some things never changed. She leaned against him, letting out a sigh as she traced the patterns in the sky. Ah, so it would seem that he never forgot about wishing, either. She smiled, rubbing her head against his shoulder. Caeli longed to ask what he had been wishing for, but she bit her tongue. She refused to tell her own, so it would be unfair for her to ask of his. Ears flickered when he spoke next, a heat flooding to her cheeks. Lifting her head from him, she blinked up at him. The reflection of starlight shone in her gaze, suddenly misted with his words. She quickly looked away, gazing back up at the stars. She didn't want him to see her cry, over something so simple. But really, she felt like she had been longing for him to hear that. She didn't know what to say back to him, so Caeli stayed silent. It wasn't until he asked for a story that she let out a soft giggle, breaking her silent standing. She always loved to tell a good story about the constellations above her. She easily found the big dipper, and with her orange eyes she traced a line through the bowl of the dipper, the exact opposite of where the handle was. From there she easily found the constellation of Gemini, that was Voltage's astrological sign, was it not? She hummed, and decided that she would go with that one. She traced the pattern with her nose, hoping that Voltage would follow her movements. "This is the Gemini constellation, also referred to as the twins. The twins names were Castor and Pollux, sons of the sky god, Zeus. They were inseparable, just like you and Glace," she said softly, peeking down at him for a moment. Offering him a smile, she moved on. "You see the boy's mother was a mortal, and their father an immortal. Their kids were a mix of the base and the divine, Castor was born a mortal and Pollux as an immortal. When Castor was slain in battle, Pollux was inconsolable in grief, begging Zeus to relieve him of the bonds of immortality. Pollux chose death, so that he could join his brother Castor in the great beyond. To this day, Pollux and Castor stand reunited in the heavens, a tribute to the redemptive power of brotherly love." Falling silent after her tale, she kept tracing the shape of the twins in the sky.
