Star hesitates only a second. She wants to see the wolf and she loves looking at the stars. She stands up and follows Erik upstairs, aware that several pairs of eyes were watching. She noticed Raina smiling as they went up the stairs.
Normally she would have wondered about everyone's reaction, but her thoughts were swirling. Why is he being so nice to me? He doesnt know me.... He doesnt have to let me see the wolf.... Rowan must trust him or she wouldnt let him take me up here....
Then suddenly they are outside and it looks almost like they are floating. Star gasps and smiles as she looks up at the stars. They do seem closer...
She starts to giggle so softly the sound is almost carried away on the breeze, but Erik catches a hint of it. “Do you like the view, Star?", he asks her.
Star nods and for a few minutes she watches the stars while Erik watches her. Then she turns to him and whispers, “Mm...my name... is r..rreally Réaltán... its Celtic for star....” and she falls silent again, watching the sky.
