He stepped back to consider the stars that were already hanging, measuring by sight the distance between them and how even their spread was so far. He listened to Sah's explanation of the season in Halo, giving a slow nod of understanding before he chose another silvery decoration to add a little further down. "Mmh. I miss the protection against the cold," he admitted. "How is the Academy?" He missed the lessons and the camaraderie with his fellow students of magic, too, though he would not trade Safrin's gifts for anything.

Their chiming and gleaming kept spirits at bay, all through the night and the short Leafchange day.
And though Halo's winds blew with the promise of snow, each star warmed the dark with its silvery glow.
