Dancing In the Moonlight (Nightsky)

[Aurora Clemens]

With the night sky a clear and deep blue speckled with hundreds of thousands of stars, tonight was the perfect night for star watching. Nights like these had been her favorite when she was traveling with Vin. When they'd lay on their backs, eyes up to the sky as she watched her father point out the constellations and the odd shooting star, telling her to make a wish. She never did tell him her wishes, but he also didn't ask. Though he always seemed to know, as he'd always get closer to her and press his flank to her's. She supposed she made it easy when she always made the same wish, and every time she'd shed a tear or two, hoping it'd come true.

Unfortunately tonight she didn't have Vin to watch the stars with, but she felt like she couldn't miss it. So the small fennec fox had made her way up to the roof and just as she had hoped, it offered an excellent view of the stars along with the milky band that stretched itself across the sky. The moon tonight was a simple crescent, which made the surrounding forest seem even more dark than usual.

Aurora had brought her satchel stuffed with a small blanket which seemed somewhat clean along with her journal and a pencil. Once she found a decent spot she laid out the blanket and then pulled her journal and her pencil out of her bag before finally leaning her back against the short wall that went around the entire edge of the roof. After taking a moment to look up at the stars she opened up her notebook to the section marked "Constellations" and she started to draw Orion beside two previous drawings of the little and big dipper.
