There were few places in the copse where the stars could be seen clearly. She was well aware of where those places were, and had already come to the conclusion that those places would therefore be Phox places, as out of all the wolves she knew, he knew the stars the most. She had once witnessed a strange phenomenon with Colt- the night the moon had turned red- but otherwise, wasn't terribly attentive to the night sky. Like most creatures, she didn't bother to look up unless she was worried about the weather. She did remember an enchanting Northerner who had once told her amazing stories about colours that swirled in the night skies in the Arctic- but she'd never seen anything like it this far south, and had given up on the possibility. 

She had not yet completely handled the whole issue with Phox hiding the truth from her- but it was begging to be released. As happy as she was to have Nellie back- and she had forgiven her daughter, who seemed to know by now that witholding that information had had terrible consequences (and hopefully she would not pull the same trick again)- but Phox could have told her. It was within days that she'd complained to Phox about how she missed her daughter, how she'd fretted that she'd been dead...And he'd known the whole time. 

So when she returned shortly after he had pretended to know nothing...The soft words he'd spoken about having feelings for her had turned brittle. 

So when she attended the clearing where she knew the stars would be, and saw him, she approached. Niamh was not the cleverist wolf, nor was she one to come up with quick-witted statements. But somehow, she managed to find something to say, to catch his attention, that she felt might have just the right effect. 

"I remember you telling me about that constellation," She said, as she approached, before she quietly sat down at his side. "That one's called the 'lying dog,' isn't it?" She did not deign to meet his gaze, but stared, jaw set and eyes unshimmering as she stared up at the night sky.
