Miasma season was upon them.  This year Lulu had invited not only her own brood but also those who were friends to stay in her tree house.  It was the time of year to come together, have good food and even better company.  Lune couldn't help but wonder what his own family was doing.  "Ah ha!  I won.. again!  You seem to be getting worse Lune.... Lune?  Hello?"  His attention snapped back to the kit infront of him, looking quite irritated at his day dreaming.  "Oh sorry Lyra.. I guess I am just distracted.  Can we play cards later?"  Standing from the table he walked over to the window, and looked out into the miasma filled area.  "Lune.. are you okay?"  Was that a sincere question?  That wasn't like Lyra.  "Yeah I'm okay.. just thinking about my siblings and what they might be doing now."  Lune felt a hand on his shoulder.  "I bet they miss you too."

Lune looked over at Lyra after some time and smiled.  "So, if you could have anything for the holidays what would it be?"  She thought for a moment, then smiled. "That's easy!  A new travelling telescope.  Mine's been used so much, that it's wearing out.  I can't map the stars without one."  Lune laughed.  He'd found one in his travel there so was happy with his gift of choice.  "How about you Lune?"  He'd never really thought of what he wanted.  "Hmm, well.  Have you been to Bellmoril yet?"  She shook her head.  "Well it's an interesting place.  There is barely any green trees, unless planted from outside the region. One day, when I settle down, I want to collect trees from every region and Bellmoril I need to get one of each leaf color."  He pulled out a book from his bag, where he cataloged different leaves.  "I need to add leaves of the trees from there next."  Lune sighed happily.  "I want to visit there when the season is over."  Lyra stood and her eyes narrowed.  "Well.  When the miasma season is over.. i'm going with you!"  The two laughed. It was decided, they'd travel to Bellmoril in the new season.
