Stone Circle safe place

Charles doubted that anyone with any sense could find him in the stars, but he also thought the concept of making shapes with the stars was a little, well, silly, to start with. After all, there were a lot of stars out there, so of course you could connect them in any way you pleased. It seemed like make-belief except with stars. Charles did not understand the added step of the stars. It only seemed complicated to him.

But he smiled anyway when she said it, because Leta was his only sort-of friend and he didn't want to chase her away, too. The thought that anyone cared enough that they would search the skies to connect dots that would make a picture in their head of him was kind of mind-blowing, really.

Charles searched through the trees and he sniffed about ten sticks before he found one that seemed pretty alright. It was thick enough to not break right away and it was dry enough that it wasn't so brittle it'd crumble apart on the first few bites, either. It was a bit bigger than he would normally chew on because honestly, normally he'd just go for something handy and well-chew-able and the stick he picked up this time was almost his own size in length. You gotta make sure the sticks are dry and strong, he explained to Leta and Charles then grabbed his own stick and lay down on the ground. He awkwardly held it between his paws -- quite a trick at that length -- and started to chew on the edge to test if it was a good-tasting stick.
