Luna stared out at the sky. It was slowly deepening from a soft peach to a bright orange as the great yellow ball of fire started to disappear behind the horizon. The air was cool, not quite cold, but she knew she should have put on a jumper. She just hadn't been able to find any of hers. She'd lost three jumpers, two shoes, six socks, one bag, and several scrunchies so far this month.
"Cold?" a voice asked from behind her. Luna nodded slightly.
"I've lost my jumper," she admitted as suddenly she felt something warm wrap around her shoulders. She glanced over and saw the sleeves of a blue jumper. The sleeves had white designs knit into them and ended in solid blue cuffs. Slowly, she turned to see who had wrapped it around her. There was a flurry of activity as the person darted back down the stairwell leaving Luna standing alone on the balcony, the sun setting behind her.
"Wait," she called. She heard the footsteps slow. She waited a moment until they started coming back up the stairs.
"I don't bite," she commented as she waited. "Besides, it's a really pretty sunrise, you can almost see the Twilight Razirs if you look hard enough."
"What are they?" she heard him ask. He still hadn't returned to the balcony, but she could tell he was standing almost at the doorway.
"They're a type of bird with razor sharp wings, and they sing in a code that translates to the language of the flowers," she answered walking back to the railing so her back was to the doorway.
"Can you really see them?"
"If you look hard enough. See, there, that little dark spot in the distance, that's a Razir." She felt he behind her, saw his shadow meeting hers until he was standing next to her. She smiled glancing down at his hands. There was dirt beneath his nails. He must have just come from the greenhouses, she realized.
"I never knew about them before," he said after a moment.
"They only come out at sunset," she answered slowly placing her hand on his. "It's getting colder, would you like to join me in the kitchen for a hot cocoa?"
"I... Yes!" he said after trying to stutter out an answer. She smiled as they made their way back inside.
