Stardust was a little surprised by the nuzzle. To be honest, she didn’t come from a particularly touchy family. Her mother was the kind to get up and leave without feeding them all the way when they were still on milk. If it wasn’t for the traumatizing entrance to this land and the absolute pure goodness of Kirain, Stardust would probably cringe at such touch. It came so natural with the woman though, so she allowed it and even gave a nuzzle back. It was…nice.

Stardust stepped back and giggled as Kirain spun happily. Her cyan eyes softened at the sight of how happy Kirain was in this moment. Kirain even mentions how they are just happy to be together. It was adorable, and she supposed it sorta made sense. Stardust…didn’t have anyone like that. She wasn’t exactly alone, but she didn’t have any deep relationships with anyone outside of her blood relatives.

”Well, I guess that makes…sense. I am going to be honest, I don’t know what it is like or what you two have been though, so I cannot say that I completely understand being okay here in that circumstance. Perhaps you can share more another time?” she pondered, curious what all these two have been though…and curious to meet this man.

She explains marriage and that it is a mates system from his culture. She nods with some understanding. Of course Kirain would find a mate and this…marriage, she is but a pleasant cloud on a sunny day. Stardust smirks slightly at the fact that Kirain gets embarrassed by it though, and she pokes her gently with a paw.

”You think I will meet him tonight? I have to ensure he is proper for you…marriage,” she says properly, puffing her chest up and sitting up very lady like. Her face changes a bit with speaking in regards to imprints though.

”Imprints…well, yes, it is different from mates. Everyone has an imprint, out there, somewhere. They are your very soul. You are bound to them in ways unexplainable. It is supposed to be a magical thing, and you know immediately the moment you set eyes on them and them on you,” she says as her eyes drift to the sky, her words fading a bit at the end. ”I never found my imprint, so I don’t truly know what it is like. Some become mates, some become good friends…I have heard rumors that some imprints are like…polar opposites, like good and evil, and they must exist to counter each other. My parents were imprints, and it was sorta…odd. You probably would never guess it,” she mused, realizing that she was talking a bit too much. She felt a bit…sad speaking about it, and perhaps it is slightly reflected in her dark visage. Finding your imprint was such an important part of life, and now she felt like, if Kirain had never even heard of it as a concept…perhaps it does not exist here…and perhaps she will never find her soulmate.
