The lavender young woman slowly leads Aresenn through the Armada territory as the evenings grows deeper. They slowly wind past trees, the greenery slowly dropping away, until the wide-open space of the Col yawns before them, guarded only by the open wall. Pale blue eyes suddenly flicks over to the fiery male as Andy wonders what he thinks, seeing the slowly improving area now versus when it had been flooded… and he had saved her life. The pair quietly slip past the wall that two wolves, now gone, had built and she immediately cuts to the left before they can go further in.

It is with expert knowledge that she leads him to the well-worn pathway that winds its way up the mountain side where stubborn snow clings to many of stones and the air grows colder as they climb. After several minutes, they round a bend in a trail and a large building that sits slightly off to the side, comes into view, its dark back casting them further into shadow as the pair approach it. In the inky darkness of the wall, a slightly less black patch marks where the doorway is since it is made up of two, thick, plush bear skins that separate the rest of the world from Andromeda’s.

Pausing by the doorway, she turns to looks to Aresenn, uncertainty warring with excitement across her features as she catches his amber gaze. A small smile tugs at her lips as she softly says, “Welcome to my observatory.” With that, she lifts a slender leg, easily pulling the furs aside to reveal the interior to the boy who is special to her as she quickly ushers him inside.

Three wooden chests lay to the right of the entry way, two similar in size while a third, longer one sits a short distance away with its lid pulled open to reveal the papers and books that lay inside. A huge, plush pile of furs lay a short distance in front of long chest, big enough to comfortably fit them both or two of her dire sized siblings with ease. Directly ahead of them, near the front wall is a long desk that is littered with opened book, large unrolled pieces of parchment with markings across their faces, and an inkwell with a small quill. Finally, close to that sturdy, well used desk, is a carefully cared for telescope; the strange, fat, cylindrical tube is perched atop a tripod of thinner metal legs and it is obvious that the lavender girl takes great care of it.

However, in spite of the physical trappings, the most impressive thing about the observatory, is the view. Where the back wall was made of out concrete, the other three walls are huge, single panes of glass that have been carefully constructed to hold the weight of the glass ceiling. Moonlight floods the room, casting everything in silvery, ethereal glow and the stars are so clear and bright that is seems like you could reach out and touch them. Andy slowly leads Aresenn to the pile of furs, allowing him time to look around while her breath catches in her throat as she watches him, wondering what he thinks of the building. To her, it is almost sacred ground, where much of her life has been spent stargazing and mapping the movement of the celestial bodies.

Paws touch the makeshift bed and she moves to the middle, circling around to the boy and gently pulling him in toward her for another kiss. But, before their lips can meet, she stops just short, softly whispering agin, “Stay with me Aresenn. Please… never leave me… never again.” Her breath is hot against his maw, her pale blue eyes searching his golden gaze for acknowledgement of her request while her eyes plead with him to understand. Part of her is terrified that he will simply walk away right now and take a part of her heart with him.
