The Fox, Weeping Comets

Lore
The planet where the fox lived was visited by the timid prince. They became fast friends and played together often. The fox would teach the prince about all sorts of things he did not know, such as the names of stars and flowers. She cared deeply for him, yet even when he seemed happiest, he would sometimes stare off into the distance as if he had left something important behind.
