There was little that Asteria could do to argue with the strange, empty longing in her chest. There was so much of it, and so little of her. The longing... god the longing. She needed something, she needed something that she couldn't put words to. The girl was lonesome, lonesome to her core. Lost. In so, so many words, she was lost. In so many worlds she was lost. Asteria tried not to ache. There was no use to that. There was no use to the aching, yet here she was all the same. Ah, at least she can explore. The prairie spread out before her, and it wasn't so bad. Where would she even go next? It hadn't been long that she'd been here, and yet... well, Asteria is always ready to move on. Almost always. A yelp drew her attention though. It was the cry of a child, and her gaze was sent searching across the prairie. Where did it come from? Who did it come from? Had she intruded? No... oh. The star soaked girl didn't see him until it was almost too late, and he careened towards her. Still, he course-corrected in time, moving in a wide arc instead. A child, yes, but a large child. Asteria's gaze settled on him, concern shining through. While often rather detached, she wasn't heartless. "Are you alright?" The words were quiet, Asteria's tone gentle but cool. She lowered her head a bit to peer at the child, head quirking to one side. A dirt rat... ah yeah, the prairie dogs. They could be ornery when they wanted to be. Speaking of which, maybe prairie dog wouldn't make for a bad supper. Maybe. It's with interest that she watches the child. |
