Northstar Vale weeping of the stars

His thick coat fighting off the rough branches, Kisu pushed through the plentiful trees. As he weaved in between them in a zig-zag pattern, he amused himself. A break in the trees revealed a luminous moon and a brilliantly clear, shining sky. His jaw dropped in awe, and he wove faster through the bramble, trying to find a wider opening.

The brush suddenly pulled back and a cliff overlooking a valley spotted with shimmering pools of water that were illuminated by the moon. He looked to his left and saw a reddish-colored wolf laying on a rock, jutting from the large crag. Stiffening, his eyes locked onto the wolf and he took a few deep breaths. Kisu didn't know how to alert the wolf without alarming and pulling out the defensive nature of his species.

His eyes glowing from the reflection of the moon, he raised his nose and sniffed the air. An overwhelming urge to howl overcame him, but he refrained. Kisu took another deep breath and then began.

"I don't mean to startle you," he called out. "I think we both noticed the look of the sky tonight and desire to watch... Do you mind if I accompany you while we watch..?" Shuffling his front paws, Kisu suddenly felt exposed. He had sounded confident, but regret washed up from his chest.
