His pale, mischievous smile and dancing blue eyes were infuriating. The teasing undertone in his words, the way he leaned casually on his staff, his devious smirk daring him to make a comeback to his latest jibes. He was about to spit out a nice lil nasty when he noticed something a bit interesting. The ever energetic sprite seemed a bit lazy, sleepy even. The boy had come to his warren, most likely bored and wanting to race, but probably couldn't handle the warmer weather of his home world.
"Bloody little wombat! I ain't a 'roo, and if ya think we're gonna run around in this barbie, then you've got the brains of a stunted swamp chigger!" With that Aster flopped onto the plush green grass of his warren and closed his equally green eyes, enjoying the shade. Jack was quiet, surprisingly, and when he opened one eye to check on him, he was walking away with the quiet smile of his. Aster frowned, but grumbled out. "If yer capable of enjoying a nice shade though, mate, yer welcome to have a rest. Not much to do for the time being, what with Easter done for the year and all." Stretched out on the grass as he was, his long ear twitched when he heard a chuckle and the soft crush of Jack sitting down, resting his back on the shade providing tree.
The cool breeze, laden with subtle, flowery scents and grassy hints cooled them both, the sounds of the warren's many bubbling streams comforting. There wasn't much to say between the timeless entities, and after a quiet moment Aster looked at his companion, the pale spirit already sleeping deeply, the tree trunk and nearby grass dusted in light, harmless frost. It was like he was the last bit of Winter that Spring had yet to claim, and Aster wondered at the enchanting image he made, and thought that he wouldn't mind seeing the peaceful image more often.
Over the years, the hottest weeks of summer saw the youthful spirit hibernating in the warren of the Guardian of Hope. Aster didn't mind, especially when he would wonder... Ain't he got a place of his own yet...?
