A trick in the sky

When Ignita noticed Wylan coming up in the middle of the night she slunk down as if she could hide. But true to his nature and not to her fears he engaged her thoughtfully. She didn't know what came over her to think he would tease her or tell her off for being up so late, or out of bed at all, but she was very grateful for how eternally kind he seemed to be.

She huffed when he asked her what the swirling ribbons of color were.
"Crawling sand fleas, I was hoping you'd know but at least I'm not seeing things by myself. Have you seen them before?" She asked him, ever hopeful for any inkling of new information.
