the stars look like they’re not shining

He'd agreed to go on this mission with Sedna for a few reasons. One, he didn't really feel comfortable letting her go alone after all the injuries she sustained not only during the cougar fight, but also the ones she'd already had. Two, because he also felt the need to get out of the Armada and gather some kind of intel on a nearby pack for Sirius. As soon as Sedna had mentioned it to him, he thought of what good it would bring him in the long run. He'd never heard of Sirius suggesting others go out and gather intel, but what harm could it do? It was late at night and for all intents and purposes they could be out on a late midnight walk on the beach. It was a beautiful night, anyway.

Their travels had been mostly quiet until Sedna spoke, and it brought a smile and a soft laugh up. The nickname wasn't something he was fond of, but he'd heard it more lately than in his earlier years and he was starting to get a bit used to it. It wasn't his favorite though, but he hardly showed any distaste for it. "It's a good night to walk on the beach. I bet no one will know we're here to scope anyone out; they'll probably think we're up to something else." He teased with a wink and a smile.
