Out of reach

The ground had shook in a way that had reminded him of an avalanche, but without any of the noise or destruction of one. He'd even heard before that volcanoes could shake the earth before eruption, but he'd never experienced that before. Although he was aware of the volcano here, he hadn't considered until now the possibility of it's involvement. He didn't know much about them though, and kept the brief though to himself as Kiela questioned about the flickering light. His gaze followed hers with a soft questioning hmm? sound as he squinted to focus on the changing light.

Until now he had thought it was simply just a campfire, something easily explainable, but now he wasn't sure. Was it even on the mountain, or was it in the sky? It was really too far for him to tell, so he frowned and looked back towards her before slowly relaxing on his haunches with a soft sigh. "I'm not sure," he said, the corners of his mouth pulling down as he spoke. "Where I'm from, there would be stars that dart across the sky at night all the time. Some of the older wolves spoke of slower moving ones, that took many nights to move across the sky. I don't remember what they called them, but maybe?" He asked, tilting his head slightly.

"Maybe we should go somewhere higher?" he suggested, though with the way the ground had been shaking he knew immediately that it probably wasn't the best idea, especially if it started the herd.

"Speech!"
