It felt like ages since she'd been in a place where you could see the stars well. Really well. Her job generally took her from city to city and even if one could actually see the stars in those places, she'd be too busy to take the time to observe them anyway. Which was exactly what brought her to this little village outside of London. Or one of the reasons. The main one being her last job went terribly bad. So bad that not only did they fail to retrieve what they were supposed to from the Mark, but they almost lost their lives in the process.

She had to disappear for a while. She also had to do some evaluating. Was it worth it? She'd backpacked across three countries already and she still didn't know the answer.

Looking up at the stars, waiting for the mentor shower they'd said would be coming, she hoped for a sign that would point her in the right direction.

Arthur had heard there'd be a meteor shower that night, which was why he'd gone (with his usual accompaniment of fairies) out to the country, spreading out a blanket up on a hill to watch. It was then that he heard a familiar sound. One he'd heard only once before, a very, very long time before.

Sitting up, he peered through the darkness. "Hello?"

((ooc. before I start, any objections to going with a hypothetical 'quiet before the storm' setting after Smaug gets defeated but before the Battle of the Five Armies?
oh, and hello! super excited to find you here. and hope you don't mind a Kíli in any case.))

[ there's no better time for star-gazing than cool summer nights when there's a nice breeze to rustle through the grass. and there's no better place to stargaze than up on a hill on the outskirts of town. ]

Those ones kind of look like a rabbit. [ she's pointing at a cluster of stars above them and to the left. ] You know, if you squint.

[It was almost as a dream, being back in Edoras after Helm's Deep. The battle had been long and painful, all the more so to her for she had remained hidden, no sword in hand, tending to worried wives and crying children. The hours seemed to have extended themselves into days there, hidden in that fortress, and at one point Éowyn was sure that that place was to become a tomb, a place from which none of them would walk away.

However, by some miracle or sheer will of men, they had won. Her brother and his men had returned just in time to add enough numbers to send the dark forces away from the city. They were gone then, but wives still wept, warriors still bled. How many had given their lives to save them she did not know, but it was sure to be a high number.

In Edoras now, they celebrate. She wonders if for those who laugh and drink, how many cry for the deaths of their brothers or sons, their loved ones, but she understands. It is a sacrifice for their city, their king and their kind, even if at a time like this, it is hard to see light in the future of men.

The halls of the house of Rohan are lit, the people loud, singing and dancing, and although she much enjoys being a part of it all, once again seeing such joy in a place not so long ago she thought to be nearly gone is all too overwhelming, and she steps outside into the night for a moment of quiet. It is rather cold but she doesn't seem to mind that, as she takes seat on the steps to the side of the door. Outside it is much quieter, even with the people on the streets, the voices being nothing but muffled sounds, and the air is clear, the night sky bright. The moon and stars seem to shine almost as fiercely as the mid-day sun, and it gives her hope, it makes her smile, even if part of her fears that these stars could be the last that men saw for a long time to come.]

[ Hey, man. Nothing odd going on here, just an off-colored raccoon sidling up, jauntily humming "Blue Moon." The animal stops at Dick's feet and sits back on its hind legs, looking up at the moon, snout twitching. After a pause, he speaks, upbeat as (almost) always. ]

You know, maybe it's just that I've been a city kid for too long, or the whole superhero gig has made me wary of basically everything, but... Is that, like, suspiciously big and glow-y to you? I mean, it's pretty and all, but whoa. Tone it down a little bit, you know?

[ Nobody likes a show-off, Moon. ]
