It was Arwen's first weekend off in a while, and by Saturday morning she was more or less out of things to do. She'd called every clinic within driving distance, and every place seemed to have their fill of volunteers for the night of the full moon. When her phone rang and the voice on the other end asked if she was willing to come into the hospital on her night off, Arwen could have hugged them. Night shifts were crazy. Full moon night shifts? Were bedlam. Fantastic. Not a sarcastic fantastic, either. A real one.

Despite the rather gloomy weather, Arwen took her lunch on the covered porch overlooking the river. After eating she had leaned back in her patio chair, and had only meant to close her eyes for a minute. Sleep overcame her then, and she was only roused some time later by a strange huffing sound. Opening her eyes, Arwen had trouble making peace with what she was seeing. A dark horse was standing in the riverbed, staring up at her.

When: Morning
Where: Arwen's house

Arwen had taken no objections with Desi throwing an impromptu slumber party at her house. God knew her home was big enough, and even with her mother staying there she still had guest bedrooms and couches to share. Arwen wasn't entirely sure who all had elected to stay the night - having just gotten off of a twelve-hour shift she'd been among the first to turn in and give in to sleep. She woke early in the morning, and felt oddly at peace with the world. She liked having a full house.

After showering and pulling on a long, soft baby blue robe, she headed downstairs. She had always been an early riser, but she put the tea on, and debated whether or not to cook breakfast. She decided against it. Desi had been hitting the booze, and she didn't want to wake anyone up before they were ready. Instead, Arwen wrapped herself in a blanket and took her tea outside. She had a covered deck facing the river, and a light rain was just starting to fall. She sighed as she let herself sink into one of the lounge chairs, both hands hugging her mug of tea. She could not remember the last time she felt so... calm. It was nice.
