Frozen Stars

In the Northern lands, a lot of the areas were covered in permafrost, never to melt again. But there had been a lake here, creatures that had made it their home before the frozen air took over. It was a curious thought though, to imagine what would happened if the earth warmed enough that they would be able to explore the body of water below them. Lyulf hummed in thought, twisting his paw across the ice to watch the kaleidoscope of blues. How many stories lay trapped beneath miles of ice? It was an itch that he would never be able to relieve, stuck only with his thoughts of wonderment. "If only these little blue things could tell us what was down there," he said with a breathy chuckle, dipping downward to gently rub the side of his head and ear around as if they would whisper sweet nothings to him.

When it came to talk of travel, he started to smile once again, lifting up from the ice to look over his shoulder at the pillars around him. It was a journey that he should probably take as well, given the fact that he had just found a spot to settle in every night, not usually returning to the same area again. It was nice that the lynx seemed to have some of the same goals in mind at least, in exploring and finding a place to rest. Lyulf's would be much less permanent though, his paws itched far too much now to settle for too long. "Do you plan on staying in the North then?" He asked, his voice sounding far more eager than he had hoped. It would be nice to have someone to call on after all this time, given just how comfortable he felt with this cat.

The lynx's eyes were sharper than his own, spotting the very star that he had still been searching for. Lyulf's eyes met her own, a somber smile curling on his lips as he thought of his home land and his mother's tales. "I only know of a few. The one you spotted, I'm not sure what that one is. However, the Southern Cross used to lay across the plains at the base of the mountain I lived on, they led to our hunting grounds. Above the blue hued star there is one that looks almost orange, I always thought it looked more like a sun than a star, really. And then two other smaller blue stars make the cross of the, well... cross." Lyulf's voice held more of a note of sadness than before, thoughts of his home making his ears pin tightly against his skull. They were sweet memories once, tainted by the end game that ended up making him flee from his more northern home. Shaking his head slowly, he turned back to Natha, attempting a hint of a grin. "Shall we?"

"SPEAK!"
