Find Me in the Stars

Odette Mooncrest Odette was completely immersed in the conversation with the young princess, forgetting all about her mission and scooting herself closer to view the stars as Aslatiel pointed out her stars. The biggest star for her giant of a father, a tiny star for her smaller mother, she even named a star for each of her siblings. It was heart melting to hear the child name such beautiful balls of light after her own blood, showing just how small her world truly was. How simply it was. Odette smiled softly at this, wondering if her world was ever so small, so simple, so peaceful. Her younger years were becoming harder and harder to remember, as if her own mind was putting a block on them. She shook her head gently, letting out a chuckle as she turned her head back to the pup. "I've heard many names for the same stars, but I do believe naming them after your family is the best suited." The woman would pause for a moment before allowing hersel to fall back into the grass, her eyes gazing up at the stars as she outstretched a paw to point the way. "It's interesting you chose these stars. Did you know, some of them can be a part of a bigger collection, and make an image? I can almost see the outline of your father by the star you named after him. Do you see it?" She needed to close one of her eyes to truly focus on the faint stars, but there she could clump together, connecting the stars, and see his powerful stance outlined in them. She grinned softly as she glanced over at the pup before adding; "Some believe the legends of great wolves are written in the stars. Some from the past... the present.. even the future." She allowed herself to shrug her shoulders as she settled in further into the grass. "Seems only fitting your family is among them." For a moment she was simply content, pondering the stars with youth, wondering about the future. Would she ever grow from a handmaiden? Would her story turn out like Zee; a handmaiden who fell in love, showed her worth, and was rewarded land, a pack, a mate, and pups? Or was her tail her own to spin, and something even more awaited her fate? Odette was content to wonder such things, until the princess spoke once more, causing Odette to stare wide-eyed at the heavens for a moment. Smell? Like a... Chicken? She sighed deeply, trying to steady herself before answering. Perhaps it was true, but was it polite to comment such things? Either way, Odette would make a note to bathe more often.. as it was apparently needed. "I am the keeper of the chickens. I was going to speak to you father about a persistent... pest problem." |
