Darkness falls

Her eyes where moving to and fro in the sky above them, enjoying the natural wonder of what he was showing her. She could see the little bugs, some settled into the leaves above them, others drifting through the sky, a glow with their own brilliant lights. She glanced back at Arcus as he spoke, to find his gaze upon her, and she blushed easily, averting her gaze again, quickly looking upwards to hide her embarrassment. It was funny, the sweet and easy going girl didn't easily feel confused and caught off guard, but something about Arcus... always stirred funny feelings in her chest.

Arcus leaned into her with his muzzle, and she sighed softly, contently, as she let her anxiety go to lean effortlessly against him in return. Arcus would speak then, admitting that he had brought her here to see the skies. She giggled softly, because it wasn't the stars that mesmerized her. He admitted to finding this place a week ago, and she remembered what state he had been in when she had seen him last, sure, a while had gone by and she missed him, but even so it was still a dramatic difference to see him so calm and collected, so... prepared, with this entire scene layed out just for her. She studied him, narrowing her eyes slightly. What had changed exactly, had he found some inner peace? Or was this a calm before the storm.

As she watched him carefully, he had moved away from her, falling contently onto the flowers and shifting onto his back to better admire them. She hesitated before moving to join him. It all just seemed.. too perfect, too different that she felt like she was waiting for something, waiting for this to change. Timidly, she placed her weight on the leaves, rolled until she too was on her back, shifting so that her head was close to him, and her tail far away, so was the angle of the wolf. her little flower fell against her cheek even as her feather spread out across the leaves, And so the two wolves made a little triangle, their heads touching, on a bed of fiery leaves as they looked up at a sky that had come to life with the lights of fireflies, that served only to halo the stars that winked at them from a distance, and she allowed herself a content breath, her worry leaving her with the exhale and a broad grin spread across her face as a paw lifted upwards as if to catch the stars.
