Sparkles in the Night

"Come ooon," Lillianna whined, her eyes sparkling as she stared defiantly and eagerly at the more than reluctant Lark. At first he refused her idea of heading to the Firefly Lake, but she wasn't letting go of the idea. Both of them, and Lark couldn't deny it, were just sitting around, drifting without purpose, not doing... anything. Hanging out with one another, occasionally wandering the pack lands. They needed to go do something. Anything? And the first thing in Lillie's head, with this season, was the Firefly Lake. It was almost summer - thank goodness, she was tired of being in heat again - but it almost being summer meant the fireflies were just starting to emerge, and she wanted to go see them reflected on the lake.
And damnit, she would use everything she had to try to convince him. Like the puppy eyes she'd so convincingly was using right this second. And then a softer thought, a softer look - "Please? It'll be better than anything else happening lately." That seemed to make him hesitate, although she wasn't sure if it was her use of please, or the overly true statement after that. That did the trick, too - he agreed. Internally, Lillianna breathed a sigh of relief. She was glad. She needed this, and she was pretty sure he did too. Something to smile about, anyway.
It was good, too, that she went to his den just a bit early. She'd thought he'd protest, so she made sure that if she arrived a bit early... well, then they'd still get to the Firefly Lake when night was just falling. She predicted accurately, and her steps picked up as she stepped over the border. A sigh of relief left her as she passed that invisible wall. Her increased speed only lasted a few seconds, though, for when she got far enough, she stopped, gazing around her. "It's been a long time since I left the pack lands." And really, it had been. The last time had been when she'd gotten injured. She glanced back at Lark, before walking forward again; she knew it wouldn't be too long until they hit the lake, and, well, she was impatient to get there.

Note: Lillie has scars over her right eye and down her cheek. She also has scars under her chin and on her jaw. Her tables and art will most likely not reflect this. Unless it is specified otherwise, assume Lillianna is accompanied by her companion.
