You shine brighter than the stars

Since joining Ashen he had been throughly enjoying settling into a day to day routine of sorts and getting to just live his life near Ike. When he made the decision to join the pack with her he had no idea what to expect, but he was able to acclimate to the way the pack ran a lot more easily than he expected himself to and he was slowly starting to even make some friends with other wolves in the pack too. Still, as much as he was enjoying just getting to see Ike for at least a little bit each day and doing some more common place things with her like hunts and patrols, he did want to do something more special for her too. The last time they really spent a day together was when he kidnapped her for a beach day before he joined Ashen so it was high time for something special.

He packed a few supplies and a more substantial meal than he had for the beach trip and later in the afternoon he went to get Ike, giving her his signature roguish grin and insisting that she come with him without giving her any room for protest as he liked to do. There was something about just sweeping away this dutiful, hard working girl for a bit of fun and adventure that made him happier than anything else. He wanted nothing more than to see her smile and he hoped that this could do the trick. He walked with her away from Ashen lands just as the sun began to sink toward the horizon with a small pack slung over his shoulder, his side lightly bumping into hers as they walked as he gave her a little grin. He felt like their relationship had been slowly, steadily growing closer over all of the time since he met her and without a doubt she was his closest friend he had ever had besides his own brother, but there were words that were hung on his tongue that he hadn't yet managed to say... but he hoped that could change tonight.

Remus brought Ike out to to the Fern Gulley that was lush and abundant with plant life after the numerous rains and storms throughout the summer. All of the extra rainfall had done the valley good and it was fragrant with all kinds of flowers that made pockets and patches of color all over the place. As they reached their destination, the sun had begun to set, leaving the sky in darker shades of navy, violet, and hints of red. The moon was nearly in full view and the stars had just begun to peek out. He brought Ike over to a secluded nook in the valley between a pair of trees and surrounded with flowering vines. Set up in the middle of it all was a large, plush fur to lay on and a campfire just waiting to be lit just off to the side at a safe distance from the trees. He had made sure that the fur was placed in the middle of the trees where they could still see the clear night sky through the gap in the tree cover.

As he put the pack of food down, he turned to look at her with a grin and a bit of expectant nervousness that was unusual for him. He knew this was more romantic than a lot of their usual outings, but it set the tone for what he had in mind and he silently hoped that she liked it. "Go ahead and get comfortable! I'll get the fire going for us!" He went to pull a flint and steel from his pack, fighting against the little nervous butterflies that kept trying to take over his stomach all the while.
