Heron Lake Plateau journey through stellar life

*Gives Kat something to stalk*

Niamh was restless; she found it hard to sleep, as something kept nagging at her, forcing her to go out and patrol. It felt similar to the feeling she got when a bug crawled along her fur, physically, but emotionally it reminded her of wanderlust. An insatiable itch that could only really be quieted by leaving her small, cozy den and venturing out into the night, hoping she might be able to tire herself out by going along the borders so that she could return to her den in the morning and sleep away some of the daytime hours once she'd finally worn herself out and rid herself of that antsy feeling. It still felt like something was tweaking the fur at her spine, just where her hip bones softly jutted, at the highest point in her haunches. She reached around to nibble at the fur there, scratching almost a bit too roughly with her teeth to stop the feeling from coming back, before she set off again. 

She didn't exactly expect to see Phox out and about- though he was more out than he was about, as he was stationed fairly still, looking up at the stars. Towhee had told her that Phox was interested in stargazing, and Niamh gave the starry sky an almost wary side-eye before she looked back at Phox again. Niamh knew nothing about the stars, and as they were too far away to do anything for her, she wasn't exactly interested about them, either. But this was Phox...And he had to have some reason for looking up at them as he did. "You see anything in them?" She asked quietly as she drew up alongside him, giving the sky another skeptical look.
