After a morning hunt, Slavik had spent the day traversing the higher areas of the Moonspear, where the inclines grew steeper and the earth more jagged. He’d been inspired by his meeting with Wraen to look at the stars, but from the closest he could get to them. They were always waving and winking at him, now it was his turn to acknowledge their beauty. The golden boy made it to a clearing, where the path up was no longer clear and the ground was still soft. This would be a good stopping place, and just in time to watch the sun set over the horizon.

Slavik's head swung around to see the company, a laidback smile on his face. It was one of Charon and Amekaze's sons, a dark boy with mint leaf eyes named Jarilo, if his memory didn't fail him. Slavik barked back as the darker male made his way towards him, not moving from his seated spot in the meadow. He didn't know this guy that well either, but he found it almost funny how he seemed to meet a new one of the alpha's children everyday. How many could there be?

The setting sun cast a long shadow behind him, Slavik's large figure shifted just a little so he could face the other when he got nearer. You wanna watch the sunset with me? he asked, with a easygoing sweep of his tail.

The other young male relaxed upon Slavik’s invite, and soon he had come to the blonde wolf’s side. Slavik returned his smile, his tail continuing to make snow angels on the ground. For sure, he replied to the darker furred wolf, and followed his gesture out to the setting sun. The colors had begun to stripe the sky, in a cirrus and windswept pattern. Blue was paling to purple, pink and orange swirling together. The sunset in itself was glorious, but the stars were what he was after.

Slavik looked back to his companion when asked a question, Sometimes, most of the time I’m doing other stuff. You? This specific sky-watching session was only inspired by Wraen, he wanted to see if he could find the Orion and Hydra constellations she’d told him about. Though sometimes he would wander up to the sky scraping areas of the Moonspear, just to be a little closer to the world. The other introduced himself as Jarilo, and with a toothy grin. Slavik gave a grin in response, I’m Slavik.

Slavik nodded at Jarilo's response, following his snout to the sky above where the sun was falling quickly now. His eyes remained there for a moment, pondering both the stars and his companions words. He decided to chime in after Jarilo said winter makes it easier to appreciate the stars. I'm from the plains, where there aren't a lot of trees always blocking the sky. Being up higher where there isn't much above me makes me think of home. That's why I come up here I think, thoughts flowed from his mouth in a conversational manner, though they were more for his own whims then to inform the Ostrega.

Jarilo continued on, explaining how he teaches his siblings, and how he was a naturalist but a greenery one. Slavik smiled and nodded in agreement at his next words, tell me about it. I do a little bit of healing stuff with Speedy sometimes, ever since it got all cold we have to go looking for herbs way more often than we used to, he said, tilting his head a bit as he looked back to the charcoal pelted male.
