When she told him that his mother was lucky to have him he gave a small, uncertain smile and nothing more. He liked to think that he was doing the best he could for her, but he never felt certain about it. She was his mother after all - wasn't he supposed to care for her the same way that she had cared for him? He had promised his father before he passed away that he would do everything he could for her, but... Sometimes he wondered what it would be like to be more care free like some other wolves his age. He wasn't resentful by any means, but sometimes he was curious and occasionally the thought crossed his mind.
He watched as she looked up at the sky, clearly taking his suggestion very seriously. He had a hard time looking away from her as she gazed up at the night sky, the cool light from the moon and stars casting a lovely light upon her features. She was captivating in a way he hadn't really experienced before and it really wasn't until she had made her selection and nudged him to get his attention back to the task at hand that he finally looked away. His pale pink gaze lifted to focus on the star she had chosen, picking it out fairly easily as she pointed to it. Indeed, she had done a fine job choosing the brightest star in the sky.
His eyes met with hers once again and with her silent count down he made his wish as well. It had felt like a silly suggestion when he made it, but now it felt like the most meaningful moment in his short life. He knew he was far too invested and reading much more into this simple moment, but when sweet, meaningful moments like this were few and far between it made them even more impactful. He wasn't sure if he'd ever be able to get this silly smile off his face and he wasn't really sure he wanted to. This had been a nice escape - no matter how short or fleeting it might have been.
He chuckled softly when she asked about where he would be or if he would come to find her. "I live in the west in a pack called Valhalla if you decide you want those adventures sometime before I'm able to find you again," he replied, leaving the invitation open for either option. He would certainly be happy if their paths crossed again, but he knew life could be twisted and fickle. Hopefully it would let him have this one thing and let him find Hanako again. "Thank you for sharing this beach with me," he added and after a beat of slightly nervous hesitation he leaned down to press his nose to her cheek before rising to his paws. As much as he wanted to stay, he knew he really should have been back by now. "See you soon!" he called back over his shoulder as he turned to leave despite really knowing if it was true or not. Wishful thinking and all that.
