Lennon felt that recently him and Korei hadn't spent enough time bonding as they usually would. A lot had been going on with the sudden multiple new companions, and he decided his time would be best spent with the girl that started it all. If it weren't for their meeting, and her agreement to join him in a journey for a new home he likely wouldn't be anywhere close to where he was today. The ivory girl was nothing short of a blessing. So, in the late of the night, he had planned on the two to talk over stars -- knowing how much she liked them.

He nudged the resting girl gently, hoping to wake her up in the most polite way possible. "Koreiii," the dark male cooed. Lennon gave her a quick lick on her ear, growing slightly anxious to finally have some one-on-one time with one another. It seemed like forever since they were ever by themselves.

He smiled a bright grin when she cuddled against him, and despite wanting to stay in that moment forever Lennon knew stargazing would be more rewarding than sleep. "C'mon," He urged, staying quiet enough as to not wake the others. "Follow me." He lifted his head and waiting, not wanting her to simply fall back asleep.

The wolf chuckled a full, amused laugh before using his muzzle to lift Korei’s head up higher. ”Wake up kid- we’re going to look at the diamonds.” The pair exited the lair and found themselves with a vast, crystal clear night sky. ”See?” He asked, gesturing to the open skies, his tail wagging slowly.

Lennon shifted his amazement onto the young, snow white, girl. He admired her silently for a few moments, taking in all that he loved about the sweet kid. He watched in the reflection from her eyes the distorted version of the night sky. ”You have kaleidoscope eyes, love.” The dark wolf mumbled in reverence.

He pondered how to explain such a beautiful sight, especially the one within her eyes. ”The stars shine within them like diamonds - kaleidoscopic.” Lennon explained, admiring her for a moment before shifting to the sky and feeling a sense of openness about him. So much open space and unknowns about the sky above, it was intoxicating to stare at.

Lennon glanced at the white angel again, feeling an emptiness in his stomach as her realized the lack of affection Korei has received in the past. He decided then he would make sure she knew how beautiful and perfect she was, so he nudge her with his nose and smiled again. ”There’s plenty no ones told you, Korei. I’m to fix that.” He began to observe her again, picking up his favorite features. ”You have a captivating pelt, you look angelic.” He admitted.

Lennon’s heart was struck with an unknown feeling, absolute shocking fear and worry built up within it at her words. ”Korei! He said, almost sternly. ”Love, you’re beyond special, you’re remarkable.” He leaned forward, pain in his eyes as he attempted to figure the young girl out. ”Who called you pathetic?” His voice was quiet and almost scratchy, whoever did so he would not allow to get away with such deprecating words. No one, despite their evils, should be put down by words.

Lennon knew the conditions of her old home were beneath merry, but to have such harsh slurs be thrown at her wasn’t anticipated. He would not allow that wolf to get away with such blatant lies. Her words stung, he needed her to know how important she was to them, to him. ”Korei - without you, we wouldn’t have any of this. If you didn’t agree to let me guide you, I wouldn’t have met Alarian, Xahi - any of them. Hell, Ali might not have even met his sister and niece.” He used his muzzle to shift her head slightly up, before locking eyes. ”You are the start of this all - and good you didn’t help with the cougar, I wouldn’t even let you if you tried. To run is better than to die. And you didn’t get me hurt, that white beast did. You are my everything, because you gave me everything.”

Her question gave him no hesitance. ”Yes,” He spoke, complete seriousness in his tone. He shook his head at her worries, Lennon knew when to run, he wouldn’t die protecting her, no way. ”If haven’t died yet, I won’t die anytime soon.” He ensured, to live through two consecutive attacks was rather special. He felt this group, these wolves brought luck with their presence and he’s definitely benefitted.

Lennon cradled the girl with his head, the equivalent of a hug. ”I promise.” Something about the vow seemed to hold truth, for no one knows when they’ll die, but something in him knew he would stay for a long time. He lifted his head at the mention of a constellation, searching for the so called “Big Dipper.” He’s heard of it in the past, from the mouths of wolves high on whatever they could find. He, himself, was rather high too and couldn’t exactly remember its position. ”Her?” He questioned.

His eyes stayed on the sky as well, shifting closer to Korei and understanding her pain. "You can teach me, then." He suggested, finding interest in the twinkling lights above. There'd been multiple times he been among them, spiritually that is. Perhaps he should learn more about the flaming balls of gas he would never truly know. "I'm sorry, kid." Lennon whispered.

"-And I'll save you from anything else." He promised, nuzzling into her fur. It was an undescribably bliss to make someone happy  - especially someone as emotionally abused as her. Her safety was the most important thing to him, emotionally and physically.
