HERE COMES THE WATER

IT COMES TO W A S H AWAY THE SINS OF YOU AND I. WHEN YOU LOOK, YOU SEE RIGHT THROUGH ME. CUT THE ROPE, FELL TO MY KNEES. BORN AND BROKEN EVERY SINGLE TIME.

F l i c k e r i n g , alabaster dots blanketed the inky evening atmosphere, as per usual. It was a beautiful night, no alien light sources polluting the sky or any distracting noises jamming a fork into the ambience ( except for the crickets, of course ). The grasses in the field w h i s p e r e d in the wind, brushing past each other and tugging wherever the breeze directed them. Titan could have almost sworn that they were murmuring his own name, but of course, that was a preposterous idea in itself.

However, the calmness and serenity of the open area had certainly beckoned him, and the lion found himself walking amongst the golden grasses. Titan was a productive person, someone who always sought for a role and for validation, but there wasn't a whole lot to do at this time of night. A night patrol? Perhaps, but right now, Titan wanted to stargaze. He had always made somewhat of a hobby out of it; where he could just roam the outskirts of camp and leave everyone and everything behind and waste a few hours just by himself. He could[sub] sink[/sub] into his own thoughts, he could e a s e his mind and let his imagination wander as he tried to memorize the constellations and their names. It was one of the only times in his cubhood that he could just be.

Then, for a fleeting moment, there was a faint streak across the sky.

A meteor. Then, another. About a minute later, [i]another.[/i] They were out in full force tonight, and Titan could only assume that it was a shower. He had chosen an ideal night to watch the stars, it seemed. The lion laid down into the field and rolled onto his back in a comfortable position to lay. After a whole day of keeping on his toes and making sure every stride was taken with confidence, it felt relieving to simply s p l a y out under the stars.

Titan's dim, amber eyes scanned the celestial heavens, his furred chest softly [sup]rising[/sup] and [sub]falling[/sub] with each breath.
