Redhawk Caldera two minutes to midnight

Fin was making her way back to the rendezvous site to settle down for the night. She'd been spending a great deal of time at the whelping den, preparing for the birth of her third litter - an event she was pretty sure would happen any second now. She had reached the point where it was impossible to actually get comfortable, so she figured she may as well be with her family if all of the bedding inside the den wasn't going to be of any use to her.

She had nearly reached them when a sparkle of light overhead took her attention. Finley paused to turn her head skyward, watching with a furrowed brow for a few minutes before a second star fell. Her lips parted slightly as more and more began to fall, painting streaks of light across the black. She was still as she watched for a few minutes, but eventually she was distracted by the voices of her packmates. Fin picked up her pace again until she reached the rendezvous site where Phox was bombarding Lagan with excitement and some others milled about with upturned eyes.
 
Fin spotted Elwood nearby and she made her way quietly towards him. She settled onto her haunches at his side and leaned gently against him, wordlessly. Her eyes fell from the sky to sweep across the Caldera's slopes, spying the lake in the distance and watching the way the light flashed across its surface. It was an incredible sight, but like Lagan, Fin couldn't help but think sadly of Eljay and Liffey and wonder if they were watching the meteor shower as well.

Liffey would be like Phox - overwhelmed with awe at what was happening overhead. Well, actually, she'd be way more of a nerd about it and being trying to hypothesize about what exactly was happening and why and what it meant and what the ramifications of the event would be. Her poor, sweet Eljay, on the other hand, was probably terrified. Fin shut her eyes, feeling that unfortunately familiar ache in her heart and sending another silent prayer out to the universe to take care of her little wolves.
