Arrow Lake distant solar systems

He looked very much like a cat trying to judge distance - running along one edge, casting his eyes to nearby points in quick succession, then dashing to another angle, and another, but everything seemed utterly out of reach. Mesa was about to test his mettle when a voice erupted from nearby - he had been reaching for an adjacent ridge that wouldn't have supported his weight to begin with, and startled back to the stable earth with a sharp turn. 

The pale stranger wasn't really a stranger; he'd seen them around before, often mistaking his aunts and uncles for his mother Takiyok since they all held similar shapes and colors. The boy narrowed his eyes for a split second as he tried to differentiate which wolf this was, but couldn't concoct a name. When he turned back to the creature bleating at him and watching from on high, he loosed a frustrated bark - and the goat bleat an onerous tone in reply.

I wanna get him! He shouted next as his spine bristled, fanning his tail out behind him with an arrogant twist. His stupid face and stupid noises!! How does he climb like that? That's not fair! COME DOWN GOAT! But the louder he got the further the goat felt compelled to climb, until he was practically out of sight - and safe.
