Stars in the Sky

Astrea hummed as her brother asked her why they had not talked. She took a moment to think, much akin to Ten's long pauses. She tilted her head one way then the other, looking from the stars then to her brother. She knew her brother was busy, there was a lot of siblings to care and look out for and only Glacier to help Volt in that task. The starry child hummed again, "You are busy, we have a lot of siblings." She shrugged and looked back up at the stars. Who was she to take up the yellow brother. He was important to the family, where she was just the shadow, far from the center of the group, distant just like the very stars she was looking at.

She did not look away from her stars as he answer he questions as best he could. She did not understand why she had chosen something so far away. It felt more lonely then it should; because she was surrounded by family; but day after day she watched as Serefina basked in the warmth of the volcano and was amazed at how Locha almost grew fins when she entered the water. But she, she was stuck on the ground only wishing she could go to the stars, it was extremely lonely.

She looked at her brother, her pale eyes vulnerable as the feeling seemed to dig deep into her heart. She did not want her energetic brother to see her like this, at her worst. So she yawned, a ploy really. "I think I will sleep, brother, it has been a long and insightful day." She put on a smile as she lay down on her normal bed of short grass. She wondered if Voltage has seen the vulnerability in her eyes or whether he will give her the time she needs to think.
