(Starlit dreams)
Foxy had a bit too much Krupnik...
my second entry for OC-Challenge's contest, Bright lights!-

My OCs Foxy von Schwarzfeld and Yseult Vindreiter, again.
Yseult is from the North of Vulpasia, and Foxy from the Central Highlands. Spot the Lederhosen xD anyway, Yseult wears something close to the traditional dress of Kraków, for the North is based on Poland. Foxy... Well, although in the real world he would be Prussian, I felt the need to reveal that embroidery on his leather breeches xD
Now we hear the soldiers' singing
Louder than a brass bell ringing
With chiming steel to play the tune
As they march through midnight, dawn and noon.
They've tempers sharp and quick as sabres
Quick to fight with rowdy neighbours
And spend the dark and lamp-blushed night
With a chorus of glass in candlelight.
They lay out in the snow and cold
And round them snowflakes drift and fold
Around their drowsy eyes and faces
Windswept from all winter's graces.
Sometimes, though, they look quite grim
Though their fur's all fine, their coats all trim
For people say to never dance with a lynx
As it'll lure you back and forth and slink
Back to its lair through the stars and snow
And that's just how a soldier's dance will go.
So leave them sleep in gathering frost
For when dawn breaks their dreams are lost.
No matter how hard he tries, Foxy's dreams will remain a fantasy.
Sorry about the bad camera quality... Hopefully you can still make out the names of the alcohol beside the wall?
