Sunbeam Lair above it all

There was something endearingly pup-like about the girl (who was of course a child regardless) — it was possible her enthusiasm for the night's sky was enthusiasm for everything, a delight for all around her. But as the huge black wolf stood in the little one's presence, he got the impression that she was more in touch with the sky than most her age. She was, perhaps, deeper than she knew. It's life-affirming, isn't it, he mused, not yet finding any issue with the girl's lack of speech. There are some wolves who look to the night's sky just to be reminded of life's prevailing magic.
