ic. After a long day away from her home territory, February was finally back in Silver Creek, and she was flooded with an amazing feeling of being right at home. She grinned contently, bushy white fail flicking back and forth- yes, she was where she belonged, and yet there seemed to be something missing- she barely knew anyone from her own pack, for some strange reason, and how was a pup supposed to fit in a pack when she felt like practically a stranger to anyone? She sauntered around her homelands aimlessly, admiring the stars like she always did.

Fei wondered if the stars meant anything- every night, she stared at the heavens, the stars seemed to whisper to her, twinkling and sparkling innocently. They've always looked like they were trying to tell her something, say a story, but she had never managed to figure it out. Their message had always been blurry, and February suspected that it was because she had never known enough about it. As she began to wander around, she spotted another wolf in the area.

She blinked, because he looked somewhat like a dog. She blinked- he was staring at the stars, and he didn't seem too happy. Fei frowned, scrambling towards the wolf, calling out, "Are you okay, Meester?"

ic. The look on the doggish-looking wolf's face, and his actions made slight worry stir inside of February. Though she had no idea what caused it, something told her that she, herself, had something to do with it. Frown slowly spread across the Delta pup's face, and he observed the male, deciding not to go any closer, in case he exploded with agony, or something like that. February wasn't accustomed to the dark, almost depressed feeling in the air, and she was quite sure that she didn't like it. Her tail lied limp beind her, and she was suddenly overcome by a longing to make the male feel better, though she had no idea how that'd happen.

Ears twitched when she heard the male's first words. His fancy words sure did confuse her, but she had to admit that they were extremely elegant and "pretty" sounding. She let a smile flicker across her face, and she replied softly and sweetly, "No need to apol'gize, sir, yew didn't do anything wrong." Fei blinked, confused- why would he say that? At his next words, she automatically threw her head upwards, and she began to observe the stars almost hesitantly. She shuddered, drawing back slightly, bright blue eyes flashing apologetically. "Ah'mma Fei! Nice to meet yew, Starchaser," she introduced herself energetically, tail beginning to thump the floor.

Mm, she reminded him of someone? Well, she knew no one who looked like her, except for Tiamat. Maybe he was talking about Tiamat. "Issokay, Meester! Don't ap'logize!" she insisted, blue eyes widening- she had never been treated so courteously before, and by an older wolf too! Feeling bad for Starchaser, she bounded closer to him, tail wagging, obviously wanting to lift his spirits. "Whatchoo wanna do?"

ic. Starchaser's first few words made her glance up towards the sky, bright blue eyes observing the skies, loving the way that the twinkling stars sparkled at her, admiring the story that they seemed to be trying to tell her. She wasn't to sure what it was saying, but she couldn't help but feel as if they were soothing her, telling her that Starchaser would be fine. She blinked, suddenly feeling a jet of comforting warmth cut through her body, and she comfortable, at home, feeling as if she were nuzzling against her mother's fur once more. She stopped a purr from coming out of her mouth, blinking. Odd- she had never felt this way before, it was nice, in a foreign way.

Sne returned her gaze to Starchaser, soft, attentive gaze dreamily resting on the male. Obviously, February was interested in the topic, and wanted to know more. Tail wagged behind her and she nodded. She couldn't help but still feel sorry for him- hee was obviously miserable, and February hated when other people were upset, even people that she had just met. Even worse was that there was nothing that she could do to make him feel better- she wasn't experienced in reading the skies- she didn't even know it actually worked until just then! She frowned, slightly amused that he had mistaken her as his mate, though she knew that arctic wolves were hard to tell apart.

She smiled. "No need to call me Mademoosale," she began, assuming that it was a fancy word for "Miss." She frowned, and then suddenly an idea popped up in her head, and she importantly lifted her features, politely saying, "I want to help yew, Starchaer.

ic. Ears twitched as Fei weighed the seriousness of the moment. Since she was young, she hardly did things that were too worrysome, and spent most of her time playing, or just other typical fun puppy things. Now that she was beginning to grow up, she realized that she actually liked acting and being treated as an adult- well, sometimes, at least; she wouldn't be able to survive one day in the world of adults. It was much too real and frighteningly threatening to the young arctic pup, and though she knew that eventually she'd have to face it, she wasn't frightened, because she knew that when the time came for her to grow up, she'd be able to meet it face to face.

She nodded her head when she heard the male's words, willingly moving to sit by his side, tossing her head up to the sky. Though she knew that she would probably see nothing, but only feel an emotion, for Starchaser, she would try. Sharp, bright eyes stared at the sky as she tried in vain to pick out any messages, sub-conciously replying to the Skywatcher's question. "I've tried, but nothing's ever made sense to me..." She trailed off, blinking at the stars with a sad frown on her face- Fei couldn't read anything, not today at least, all of the different meaning and messages of the stars' alignments were so tangled that nothing worked, at least for February.

ic. The young pup's eyes never moved from the sky, her sharp blue eyes trying in vain to figure out what the stars were trying to tell her. They twinkled at her, comforted her, but said nothing. Fei hadn't expected them to say anything anyways- and even if they did, she probably wouldn't be able to notice it, because her eyes never stayed on the same place, her patience stunningly little as she frowned, wondering why she was so inept at this- maybe this was the sort of thing that developed after alot of practice? It certainly did seem that way, though that was only because Fei had gradually begun to feel more emotions when she gazed upwards during the night.

Ears swiveled towards the older, respectable male when she heard his next words, and she began to search the sky, using her heart to see which star seemed the happiest, most jubilant. A smile curled her lips when she spotted it- Sirius. "I see it!" she exclaimed, tail wagging enthusiastically and proudly behind her, the grin stunningly wide. "Issit that star?" she asked Starchaser, using her nose to gesture towards Sirius.

ooc. Nah, it wasn't that long. :P And yes, 'chaser's threads are always so fun to read! :D -stalks your threads-

ic. As she continued to look at the strange star, she couldn't help but let pride rush through her small white figure- how she had been able to determine why that star was Sirius, she didn't know, but she was still proud. Maybe she was beginning to get the hang of this after all? A small smile flickered across her face, and she turned to Starchaser to heard his words. She shook her head and frowned as she admitted, "No, I d'nno why," she stared at the tiny speck of light, trying to reach out towards it to attempt to feel what it was feeling.

A speck of warmth spread through her paws, and she smiled, "Bu' it does seem happy!" she added enthusiastically, grinning wryly. My, was the little pup proud of her accomplishment! She had never been able to figure out so many things in one night. She turned expectantly towards Starchaser, watching him, wondering what he was going to say next, and wondering why Sirius was so happy.

ooc. xD I noticed that after I posted it, but then I didn't feel like editing it away, because the little "edited by..." thing is so ugly. D:

ic. She looked up at the unusually-patterned male, interest sparking brightly in her blue eyes as she listened intently to his explanation. She honestly had no idea why, though Fei knew that the star must have a very good reason for being so happy indeed. Tail wagged behind her as she listened to Starchaser, though a frown of confusion flickered across her face- stars could have mates? She blinked a few times, letting this new tidbit of knowledge sink in before looking up at the sky to search for the Companion, observing the sky with sharp eyes.

A grin made its way onto her face when she spotted the two stars, and somehow she knew that they were meant to be together. She nodded, a smile curling her lips as she asked, "But shouldn't oth'r stars have mates too?" It seemed strange that only Sirius and the Companion were together when all of the other stars were solitary- didn't they want to be as happy at Sirius?

ic. Why? The young pup asked the stars, wanting to learn more about them and how they worked. Twinkling, the stars danced for her, laughing, but said nothing. Or maybe they did speak; February suspected that it was because she didn't know enough of their language to understand what they were trying to tell her. She felt an unsatisfied hunger to know more about the dancing lights that adorned the night sky, asking them to teach her of their ways. She wanted to understand, she wanted to learn. Now that she knew that stars truly were individuals, like she had always suspected, it was only natural that she wanted to get rid of the hunger by gaining more knowledge of the thing that she wanted to know more of.

Fei listened intently to Starchaser's words, awed by the traditions and the thoughts of the stares. Admiration for the hybrid glinted in her heart, and she sent both the male and the stars a grateful smile- these lights had truly brightened her day, like they seemed to have brightened Starchaser's. When she had first seen him, he had been frantic, a mess, but he seemed calm now. The white pup let out a gusty sigh, smile lingering on her adorable features. "They're so beau'ful."

ooc. Sorry of the wait. D: This thread should be ended soon, yes? XD

ic. She sighed, admiring the beautiful stars that twinkled above her, bright blue eyes flickering with wonder. The stars were just so beautiful, so peaceful. February once again felt that longing to know them better, to understand them and to be able to converse with him. And yet, there was also one part of her that radiated the fear of the unknown. What would it be like, being connected to the things that twinkled in the sky? Then there was also the knowledge of knowing too much. Would she be better off if she hadn't known about the stars? She turned to look at Starchaser, about to ask him when she saw the calmed, warm smile on Starchaser's face. The stars had comforted him.

February's lips curled into a smile, and she glanced upwards, thanking the skies for the admirable male's recovery. She shifted uneasily when she heard Starchaser's compliment, cheeks feeling hot with a pleased sort of embarassment- flattery, it seemed to be. She giggled, before breathing out awed words of gratitude, "Thank yew."

Starchaser nodded his elegant, doggish head to the little pup's gratitude. He was the one that should be grateful. Without the calm, loving wisdom of white wolves, the kind prince would have been lost forever. "Thank you, Fei," his quicksilver voice bubbled. "Eveything will be alright now."

Blue eyes lifted up, this time not to the starlight, but to the moonlight. He smiled at the disk, features soft, reading in its aura the weather and the time. With a gentle, reserved hmph, the zeta tipped his nose into February's side, chiding her as elderwolves must. "Methinks it's past your bedtime, mademoiselle. Everything'll be alright now. I must be getting back to my mate. Hopefully, it shallnae be long until I see you again, eh?"
