Lovely post. :)
Up this high the sky was a shroud, but one that encompassed infinity. Noctura could see its impossible edges. He had followed his nose up here in search of food for the one he loved (Asterr would give it to her followers, and that was what he meant when he said it was "for" her), and pursued the desirable vermin even as its scent faded. Eventually it was completely gone, and Noctura gave up for now and looked instead to the sky, where he always looked. He was hungry, and while the starlight emphasised the ribs visible on his still-muscular form, it also satisfied him like feast.
But from up here, the sky itself was more impressive than the stars. The vast umbrella looked like it ended, but it didn't. He knew this as one who watched it. And slowly his silver eyes moved down, and saw shapes of grey mountains in the distance, and misty lakes and deep blue forests, and then his eyes went lower and saw Qamar. The green-eyed wolf was in fair health but broken: Noctura could see both of these things.
Sister, he greeted his packmate in his deep baritone, and slowed his heavy pace.
