interstellar voyeur

Even though Andy is short, the building that is now her observation post was built to comfortably house all of the giants in the pack. It had been built by her and Sirius, so of course the girl had made certain that he could easily access the space. Stratum ducks his head underneath the fur, careful of his horns and the girl is forced to suppress a giggle. She knows the plight of having horns first hand but, seeing her much taller, much bigger sibling attempting to fold in on himself to avoid damaging anything inside… well, it actually made Andy feel extremely gratefully.

Giving the area a quick clean-up, she looks up from where she is depositing some books into a chest as he asks how long she has been working on the map and she smiles warmly at him. Andy continues to tidy as she says, “Oh, that star chart? Uh, a few months now. I have been tracking the stars progress every night. Eventually, I hope to know the position of all the stars during each season! That way I can help travelers and stuff.” A small shrug is given as she moves to join him on the furs and the boy scoots over to allow her more room.

With a soft giggle, Andy says, “You don’t need to move Stratum. I don’t have cooties!” Lightly, she bats his leg as she lays beside him and leans gently into his side, sighing contently. Gently, she asks, “How are you doing?” She loves all of siblings but they don’t always get a chance to check in with each other. The cuff that their father had gifted them for their birthdays is wrapped around her upper, left leg and, as she looks at Stratum, Andy sees their mother in face. A loving smile appears in her lips.
