Ella was from the country - not seeing the stars every night had always been unnerving, and it was very, very tempting to just stare at the sky and get as much of the sight firsthand. Her head snaps back to John at the command, and she rests a hand on her purse, nodding. She'll keep an eye on the network. "Hopefully it's only down for a little while."

Try to keep her head down... oh did he have to say that? Forcing herself to remain straight with a twitchy smile, she eyes the knife as he offers it. "I don't think I can hit the broadside of a barn, actually." She accepts the knife, though she really hopes she wouldn't need to use it. "I'll get it back to you as soon as I can - thanks." She ducks her head a bit with a smile.
