Hushed Willows Shooting stars are not stars at all.

Would love a @Dorea and/or @Dakota thread if you're up for it.  :)

In the days since a new family had made their home among the wolves of Elysium, Sundance thought of them often. While there had been several cubs born of the most recent season, he didn't feel particularly close to any of them. His brothers, maybe, before all the sorrow surrounding Ariel's death, but he'd been especially lonely since the day they'd lost him.

What he yearned for was a friend. A real friend who wouldn't attempt to escape at every opportunity, who would enjoy his company as he would enjoy theirs. He had his mothers and uncle, who he loved spending time with, but someone of his own wage would make a more appropriate playmate, right?

Rather uncharacteristically, the silver youngster slipped away from Olive's watch to venture off in search of the girls he'd met at the borders some days before.
