Stardust was aware that loners exist, or those without packs existed. They would come by Taviora every now and then, and she knew they existed in the lands beyond between the other packs of Moladion. However, she rarely interacted with them. She was so entwined and enmeshed in Taviora and her family, that it was hard to imagine something different. Not impossible though.

Kirain apparently was on the side where there was not much to want to go back to. She listened as Kirain spoke her birth pack, and how an illness destroyed them. It appears basically from there, she had Lestan and that was it. Her tail was dropped. Although she had her problems with others in her pack, she couldn’t imagine them all dying from sickness. Her pack was very healer focused though, so perhaps that knowledge was important. She wished she had listened more to those lessons, although some of that knowledge did impart on her. Stardust nodded slightly at her question. Kirain’s perspective was simply different.

”I can’t imagine, darling. That is…really rough! Illness? That your healers could not cure?” she gasped, saddened that Kirain spent time alone afterwards. She had found Lestan though, and Kirain only said good things about him. With this context, she felt that this male must be good. ”I suppose, if you have nothing in particular to go back to and your mate is with you, then perhaps the location doesn’t particularly matter. As long as this place isn’t dangerous but…how can you trust a place that just…STEALS you?” she questions, her less-trusting nature towards pranks exposed.

”You see, I almost thought my sister was playing a trick on me. Taking me and bringing me here. She always pulled pranks and tricks on me. ALLL the time. It is hard to trust a…PLACE that tricks you,” she looks down at her paws, touched with knicks if you looked really, really close from where her sister would bite her paws and ankles. ”I want to ensure you are happy, and if you can find that happiness here without going back to your old home, then that makes sense. However! We must ensure this isn’t a place that would further harm you!” she said with a slap of the paw on the ground, determination in her voice. How was she going to figure this all out? She had no clue, but it was all she could try to do at this point if she can’t find a way back home.

”It may be interesting to see where everyone comes from…maybe we can get some hints and answers from it. I will have to go…find others,” she says, cyan eyes looking across the fields again, wondering how many have been brought here.

When Kirain spoke of Lestan though, she lit up like a golden light. The woman of night could only hope to feel like that one day, but such thoughts were barely a concern to her right now. It appears that he was the kind to simply be content, and perhaps he did not want to scare her away. Stardust’s question though? She watched as Kirain became completely flustered. Stardust kept her eyes wide as Kirain’s voice cracked, and she giggled slightly.

”Oh, I see! I just thought, I mean, that is what mates do right? But…” her smile fades slightly. Thought creeps upon her face and melts into a terrified concern. She bumps into Kirain to sit next to her as closely as possible, almost a panic on her face.

”Kirain, listen to me. If you have puppies with Lestan and…and the world changes and brings you back home without them…. I swear to you if I am still here, I will watch them and protect them. We just…don’t know, but just…know that I would not abandon them,” she speaks, quickly and with great concern. Stardust was completely unphased by Kirain’s embarrassment at this point…there was so much to talk about and figure out!
