Stars in the Sky

Doesn't mean I shouldn't manage my time better." He said softly. He would have to make the time to spend more of it with his littlest sister and the other quiet siblings. He spent a great deal of his time with Serefina or Glacier, but even less with the rest of the family. No, that wasn't very good. "I'll be sure to watch the stars with you more often." He said with a gentle smile, leaning over to nuzzle his muzzle into her fur.

The air around them seemed to cool, and he wondered if that was because of the falling night, or the words he had said. He tilted his head to look at her sidelong, as the vulnerbiity filled her gaze. Lungs tightened but he merely slowly turned his gaze back up to the sky. He wished, then, that he could have the answers for her. He had missed the first star of the night, but he wished on each and every star in the sky, in turn, that he could answer her questions, solve her problems. How important she was to the family, and to him. The stars that grant the wishes, that give the hope. The celestial bodies that are depended to be there, at all times. And he sighed. Blinking, he'd glance towards her, smiling knowingly as she said she wanted to sleep. Liar But he wouldn't voice it. Instead, he stood, stepping towards her to push his muzzle into her fur, and give her gentle kisses goodnight. "Sleep well, Astrea." He said softly as he turned to walk to where he slept with Glacier or Serefina. Pausing, a paw in the air, he'd glance back towards her again. "If you ever need someone need someone, to talk or just to keep you company, please...it'd hurt me if you didn't call." He said with a gentle smile. "I do cherish you, little sister, like every last star in the sky." And he'd turn then, to trot off to his den, knowing she needed her space at this time.
