Stuck In Your Head

So don't stress, don't cry,

We don't need no wings to fly!

Laying there in the grass, the tanned healer watched the wind blow through the tall blades and eyeing a particularly brave bison calf. The thoughts running through her mind varied from what the prairie would look like when it was finally time for it to be speckled with flowers and warm enough for bees to be rushing about, to what she would do if she were a mother bison and someone attacked her child the way Stardust was contemplating attacking the calf. There was a pang of white hot guilt that clawed its way into her heart, but the pale golden woman decided against starving in the end. While the little calf was young, they were not pushovers and Star would not be able to bring one down alone. She wasn't quite skilled enough in the art of hunting.

Amid these thoughts, her ears slid back before her mind registered sound, catching only the last syllable of the deep tones. Recognizing the voice and her name, Star's head snaps around excitedly. How could she have been so fortunate to find the wolf she was looking for on the first try? She must be a better hunter than she thought! The fresh look at him made her heart burst and the butterflies in her stomach decided they all needed to stretch their wings at the same time. The girl found her paws in a flash and ran to him, her tail buffeting the air and grasses behind her with loud whooshes of wind. When she got closer, she did a full whirl, chasing her tail excitedly before she paused in her motions. Sitting down, her gloved paws danced in her barely contained excitement.  "Oh! Finally, I have been all over the place trying to catch up, but you were always a step - or two - ahead of me." She smiles and waves her tail in the grass.

Teal eyes meet the dark whiskey of his, and she speaks once more, "Have you found what you left for?" She asks, her eyes full of curiosity and hope. She wouldn't be rude to Faite, but if Frost ever asked her to join his pack, she would be right there with her friend. They had grown up together, and she genuinely looked up to him. She would have been beside herself with grief if something had happened to him because he wandered off without a healer, but he was more than capable of taking care of himself it seemed. She was just glad to have found him!
