time will tell

Maki was thrilled to be accepted, her little heart ached in her chest but in a nice and loved way. Like a belly a little too full of milk. Her little tail thumped happily at the kiss pressed between her nubbins and she smiled, soft and starry eyed up at her Grammy. The girl's mind was full of so many questions, things she wanted to know and wished to learn, but the way she looked up at Venom made it seem as though she truly believed the Empress had it all.

"Why you up so late?" She asked softly, curiosity getting the better of her sleepiness as she got comfortable amongst her Grammy's floof. She had never really seen the stars before, not like this at least, there were even smudged in the distance places she could feasibly go if her paws set into motion. But up there, amongst the gleaming and sparkling dots the wonder and mystery called out to Maki, sent her little mind whirring.
