Moonspear the earth sings

Desdemona and her mother were quick to join her at the border, which both made Mintaka feel safer and also a bit apprehensive. It was impossible for her to tell what her mother was thinking most of the time, but a quick check of her expression seemed like she wasn't immediately disappointed in her daughter, so Mintaka took it as a win.

Her tail swept behind her a few times, but she stilled it with monumental effort. This was exciting.

And then the boy spoke and Mintaka realized his eyes were purple. That was interesting, she thought absently, before he began listing his credentials. Nothing too interesting, up until that last bit.

"Star guide?" she emphasized, pale eyes widening as she leaned forward. How cool was that? Her mind immediately swam with ideas on what it could mean. Did he tell the stars where to go? Did they tell him? Could stars even talk?

Clearing her throat, she managed to stop herself from grilling the stranger on what he could've possibly meant by that. 

She turned her gaze toward Hydra, wondering what her mother would have to say about this guy - Grimfrost, he said his name was? In any case, it wouldn't be her say in whether he stayed or went, and she was sure Hydra had questions that Mintaka couldn't yet think of.
