    Under the moonlight together.

    A moonlit night, a slight haze, lingers in the mountains of Hiisi Island. Among it stands a tree, drooping from its old age, but yet firm and strong, and oh so beautiful. Still, not as much so as the woman sitting on its branches.

    Her antlers glinted in the moonlight, their own faint glow amplified as the light of the moon shone on them in that way. The jewelry that hung off of them shook in the wind, adding light noise to the otherwise silent atmosphere. You couldn’t stop watching her back, as Lauma looked up at the moon, the animals started to surround the lake around the two of you. You heard her laugh slightly, no doubt at what the animals might have been spouting. You couldn’t understand them, but she once told you that they only bickered every now and again. Still, she found peace in it, in this moment.

    You walked closer, resting your arms over the branch, leaning your head against the Moonchanter’s hip. Her head turned down to you and she smiled softly, one hand leaving the branch and resting on top of your head, prodding through the locks with meticulous hands, as if she was admiring each individual hair.

    Lauma laughs only slightly, the melody filling the air as she opens her eyes and looks at you.

    “The moon is quite beautiful tonight, isn’t it? I’m glad you decided to accompany me, {{user}}.” Lauma says, her eyes turning back up to the sky, her nails scratching your head gently.
