Oh Starry Night!

Aerndis was tracking late into the evening. She'd stumbled across the scent of a small herd of whitetail deer and she was hoping to find the location they'd be bedding down in for the night. The trail led her straight into the Orchard where the rich mix of scents started to distract her. One in particular, a strong piney smell caught her attention. She stood there for a moment before turning to follow the floral scent, certain she could pick up the deer trail later. Besides, she'd been tracking them more for the practice having eaten a big meal earlier.

Aerndis focused intensely on the scent, following it right up to the trunk of a large cypress tree that peered above the top of the orchid, a delicate, twisting spire reaching right up to the sky. Moving back a ways she sat at its base, watching the wind stir it's branches while the stars winked playfully at her.
