Kirain had such a positive outlook, and Stardust struggled to comprehend it. She was certain they would find answers, but Stardust? She was certain there would be no answers. Of course, Kirain had a more conventional arrival versus Stardust's dreamlike descent. Perhaps Stardust would have been more positive if she had just walked into the situation. They were certainly different, but Kirain had a way of rubbing off…at least a little bit.

”Fireflies, eh? I suppose I can grace this place with my presence tonight and judge them for myself,” she said with a bit of a playful smirk. This place did have a nice aura to it, and where else did she have to go right now? Go find more nothing?

Yet the situation changed with this other…companion. Stardust couldn’t help but feel a pang of jealousy in her heart. Kirain seemed rather thrilled though, if not perhaps a touch embarrassed. She supposed it was a matter of boys, which is a subject that many can find embarrassing. Stardust had never been involved with the other sex other than her direct family and some pack members. Stardust had very different opinions on how to handle such things from the adults in her life growing up…so she really just didn’t know how to approach it.

Stardust listened intently as Kirain explained. Lestan, a tracker. And he came the same way Kirain did. Her cyan eyes blinked and her dark head tilted, her fur touched with wind which was more apparent out in the open land. This land had separated them, and then brought them back together. She smiled at first, but then it became an awkward smile.

”Well that is…good? That he is here? Good maybe? Maybe because you are not alone and found each other…and yet, bad because you were TAKEN FROM YOUR HOME,” she declared, her voice rising to a yell directed at the sky, accompanied by a snap of her jaws. Stardust was determined that there was…something, or somewhere, or some power that could certainly hear her words of displeasure, especially if she yelled it out. It was certainly a contrast to how Kirain was a bit shy about the subject of Lestan. Stardust was always so open and…loud about everything.

Kirain continued though, and the woman of night listened as she confirmed they had a den together. And married? Stardust’s brows furrowed in thought. She had never heard the term before, and thus she was trying to put things together through context clues.

”A den? Married? What is this…married? Is he your mate…or…” she gasped before her next words. ”Or your imprint? Don’t tell me he is your imprint!” Stardust said with a hurry, standing on her long legs as she awaited the answer. While a mate was one concept, an imprint was entirely different and profoundly significant within her culture, a concept she assumed was universal.
