Somehow it was winter again and Corvus found himself already longing for the return of warmer weather. It was nothing at all like the previous season they'd endured, but living so close to the ocean made the wind feel especially bitter. Today - or tonight, rather, - was no different. Corvus braced himself as a gust of wind barrelled through the plains, distracted from his late-night patrolling, but it wasn't due to the wind whatsoever. Something odd had shifted recently, the nights growing longer... which wasn't unusual during the winter, but they seemed even longer than he ever remembered before.
Tonight felt even stranger. The moon was bright in the sky, a brilliant shade of shifting blue-purple that seemed to reflect down on the world. It was almost like the light itself had come down, floating around in little orbs here and there. At first he'd thought they might be fireflies, but he'd never seen fireflies this color... but surely they couldn't be anything else? It was peculiar indeed, and he couldn't help but wonder what was going on. It wasn't much of a surprise someone else was out exploring the night, and he loped toward Senryƫ when he saw him up ahead. "Weird stuff, huh?" Corvus asked the yearling with a little grin as he closed the distance between them.
