Find Me in the Stars

When the sound of an approaching form met the girls fluffy, dark ears, her first instinct was aggression. She stood, lowering her head and puffing out her stripey little pelt to appear bigger. Only when the wind brought the smell of Odette to her tiny brown nose did she settle. After her incident with the raccoon... every nocturnal sound was a predator in the girls mind. She was glad that she didn't have to fight tonight since map making was taking her full attention. As the woman pushed her way into the clearing where Aslatiel was working, the child seated herself again. She was questioned and the girl shrugged, still a little embarrassed at her hobby. When Odette went forward to look at the map, Asla tensed. Would she understand what it was or had she just been wasting her time. When the tan and brown fae looked to the sky however... the child breathed an internal sigh of relief. So she could tell that it was a star map. That was good. "Making a map," she finally answered in her small, soft voice. The child was working hard on her craft. She spoke to the stars as she drew them and was coming to know each and every one personally. It felt a little strange to talk about it with her mothers handmaiden. The woman was like a servant. Why would a servant care what she was doing? Not really sure what to say, Aslatiel remained silent, a slightly sullen look on her features. "Speech" |
