Today it was Célestin's turn to take Pegasus somewhere, he had a specific place in mind. The oasis was a dangerous trip to make even in autumn so they'd left in the evening to help try to avoid the too warm heat of the day but also to hopefully make it there before the sun totally set and the desert became dangerously cold as it did at night. It occurred to the boy for probably the first time in in his life that setting a pack in the middle of a desert, even in the lush areas Lirim had settled seemed... well strategically suspect. He supposed it made invasions a bit harder but it also meant they were ostensibly caged into their little paradise. Still it was the only home he'd ever known and as such he was adapted to what it took to survive in the harsher environment; he'd never known anything easier. So they pair traveled through the desert, heading vaguely Northward as Célestin navigated the dunes with nothing but his memory to guide him. It was quickly starting to grow darker, the sun lingering on the horizon when he spotted the tell tale palm trees. "See those trees over there?" He stopped to allow for his friend to catch up as he gestured with his muzzle. "We call that Illusion Oasis, there's a lake there and depending on what side you approach from the water can look like a mirage." He picked up his pace, wanting to be within the lush shelter of the oasis before the sun fully disappeared. As he drew ever closer, almost in the shadows of the trees he spotted something else. A faint green light dancing through the darkening sky. As he slowed his approach, eyes turning skywards the last of the suns light died in the sky and the green light got brighter, joined soon by hues of blue and pink, ribbons of light dancing in the sky. Something he'd never seen before. A grin split Célestin's face and he turned to look at Pegasus again. "What did I tell you, the desert's full of surprises." speaking Thinking  you

Pegasus followed Cèlestin at an easy pace, happy as ever just to be in his presence. His time alone with the male seemed to become more frequent and their relationship even only seemed to become closer as the days progressed. Silently Peg imagined the two as a pair walking the streets of his home, Cèl's vivid and exotic pelt drawing heads and interested whispers as the young prince escorted him through the square and to his family's villa.

He had only heard the young man’s comment vaguely as they reached the oasis and Peg's eyes suddenly widened at the luminous display painted across the sky “It looks like…” you his thoughts finished but he determined the comment would be inappropriate. “It's not like anything I've ever seen before.” He said amazed, watching as the brilliant colors rippled across the sky like silk ribbons at a spring fair. “It's so beautiful” he said and as he was absorbed into the display his own voice became distant. Star struck Pegasus sank onto his rear, his head turned upward and his head turning as he watched the colors dance across the sky. In spite of himself he found himself glancing at Cèl's back end, then blushed and returned his attention skyward. There was indeed an unmistakable resemblance between the two
