Heron Lake Plateau under stars

There was fresh game scattered around Ceara. Towhee slowed and cocked an eyebrow at this, her head flicking sideways when she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. Now both brows rose in surprise at the sight of Ambrose casually strolling toward them, looking more or less at home. When had that happened...? The Beta's lips parted to ask him how he'd turned up here when her godparents' arrival stole her attention. She grinned broadly at them, stepping closer to nudge Elwood's and Finley's cheeks in turn before allowing her focus to finally drift back to Ceara (but not without another inquisitive flicker to Ambrose).

"—of Debbie Downers around here so I figured that... maybe, you know, we could all gather and... well... watch them... together." Although Towhee had missed some of the context, she tried to piece together the clues. She was a bit hung up on the Debbie Downers comment. What was Ceara talking about? Her orange eyes followed as she (Ceara) introduced herself to her fellow Blackthorns, finally mentioning the clear skies, which prompted Towhee to look upward.

Was something happening with the moon? The stars? Feeling mildly frustrated at having missed much of the point of this gathering, Towhee nonetheless planted her hindquarters. She would just have to wait and see, find out what this was all about. Or maybe someone would cotton on to her chagrin and deign to fill her in on current events.
