Falling like the stars

Apparently he wasn't alone here tonight, but Kai hardly ever minded company, especially not when he was in the sort of mood that he was tonight. He heard her approach before he saw it, his head tilting slightly and an ear swiveling as she drew closer. It was difficult to even hear the sound due to the wind, but he was used to being quite aware of his surroundings, at least since the whole... imprisonment incident. After she drew closer he eventually swung his head around, delighted at what he saw. Even in the dim light of the moon and stars he could see how brilliant her coat was, a shade of purple he'd never seen a wolf possess before. For a moment he was content to gawk at her, deciding she was a bit too young for his tastes. He could at least look, right?

He chuckled, nodding in agreement. "Beautiful indeed," he murmured softly. There was something about the night that seemed to lend itself to a sort of tranquility that the daytime just didn't possess, and keeping that same level of calm felt natural, even as they spoke. "I've always been fond of the cold. It runs in my blood," Kai flashed her a toothy grin. At least half of his bloodline was used to the bitter cold of the northern lands, hailing from a place where conditions were often even harsher than they were in this continent. "My name's Kai. Glad to have some company tonight," he added, letting out a content sigh. It felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders tonight; his future was endlessly bright, and he was content to share that feeling with another, if she decided to stay.
