i need the stars at night

The pup felt his breath catch at the dimness that resulted in their voices. He sighed softly in relief as they returned and it seemed the whole of the galaxy swallowed them up. ”Why are you scared, Spirit?” He asked in hushed tones as he put his lips to his brother’s ear so the sound might not stray. Void held little fear, and didn’t hesitate very often. The pup leaned more heavily into his brother’s shoulder, happy to have been shown the wonder around them. The stars were everywhere. ”I hope the stars come back soon.” He offered absently as he stared out into the seeming abyss. He didn’t want to feel tremors beneath his feet anymore, he wanted to go home. ”Do you think we’ll ever go back?” It was uncomfortable to utter the question, what if they couldn’t return?
