Paving A Road With Good Intentions

Her father lowers the device that is between his paws so Andy can inspect it and curiosity crosses her features. She knows of the live traps that the pack use but has never had time to fiddle with them herself. The device is intriguing and, on any other day, she would have spent time picking his brain about it and seeing if she can make it run smoother. But today, the girl is on a mission and she must remain focused on that.

Sirius draws her in toward him and the girl giggles as he kisses her brow, sneaking in a quick peck on his cheek before he can retreat too far. Andy should have known that he would see right through her attempt at making small talk for what it really is. A gentle laugh bubbles out as she shakes her head, saying, “Oh it is great! I have been spending a lot of time up there.” With a smile and wag of her tail, she looks her father in the eye as a plan suddenly takes root in her mind.

With a small huff, Andy admits, “However, you are right, I didn’t come here about the trap. I want to ask you about going down to the Hallows to visit Briar for bit. I want to map some of the stars there and it will be turning into winter down there. If I can have a winter map of their stars, I can compare it against the stars in our wintertime!” It seems almost too easy, the sudden inspiration striking at the perfect moment but she really has wanted to map the stars down in Auster since they had visited.
