Zelda didn’t mind at all that Astraea had come so late. Truly the tall wolfess was welcome anytime, just she was worn out from everything that is going on. Still she wanted to talk to her regardless how tired she was. The star marked girl always had a way of putting some thoughts to rest, or at least easing her mind so that all the worries running through it would settle for a time. Enough to sleep at least. Her ears twitched slightly as her friend’s voice responded in kind, saying she wasn’t there for anything important and honestly Zelda was relieved to hear it. It was nice that really Astraea was just here for a social call if nothing else. No more problems added to her plate with the bear and her own skills or sore body. She was just here because she could be here. She knew that the wolfess was more of the night than day, just as her pelt looked it was if she chose to be a part of the night.

”It’s fine I was just… worried something might have happened while I was away today.” She replied with a nervous laugh settling herself back into the pelts of her den. Though really her very innocent reason for being her made Zelda all the happier. ”Well spend the night here, it’s nice to have a sleep over once in awhile.” She said cheerily shuffling herself over to make plenty of room for her star marked friend. When she joined her Zelda looked her over, she seemed worried about something though the guardian wolfess couldn’t exactly lay her paw on what it might have been. Still she was here and Zelda was happy for that at least.

The next thing that Astraea said once she settled in caused Zelda’s head to tilt slightly. She wasn’t exactly sure what she meant, but she knew that she, and Astraea’s uncle, Starfall, both heard from the stars. They had their tales and predictions, she wondered why they were so quiet then, was that a good thing? A bad thing. ”What do they normally tell you? Do you think it’s bad that they are so quiet?” She wondered thinking that was what was bothering her friend. But then she brought up something else. Zelda paused for a moment thinking on it. It could have been just a small bit of kismet that put her here. Hyrule thought he was always destined for greatness, but Zelda…

”No, but then again greatness sometimes finds those that think themselves most unworthy of it. I never could have imagined that I would be here now. I still wonder how it ended up being me. It should have been Tezcacotl or Tepiltzin.” She said quietly, though really her family was far from the type to care if ‘direct lineage’ of Amoxtli was what really continued protecting the forest and she knew that too. All along she had just as much of chance as Teza or Tepi did. It reminded her of the tree she wanted to plant in the center of the valley. Maybe soon. She would figure that out soon enough.
