The evening came and went, the fires continuing to burn throughout the night. Embers lit up the northern horizon from the Dawn Court, the light of the flames appearing like a second dawn was ever near.
For the first night since the fires began, no new fires were started.
Oriens watches from dusk ‘til dawn, He hardly dares to blink, nor breathe, less his breath fans the flames or his eyes miss the flickering shadows within them.
All night, the squirrels remain as active as ever - but the keratin ridges upon their spines never light, never start the inferno anew. For all the world, they seemed like normal woodland creatures again (save for the fact that they could seemingly breathe smoke like fresh air and were immune to burns. But nevermind that.)
As the sun rises and brings new light stretching across the lands of Delumine, Dawn Court’s patron god stands silently, waiting for the day to start, and his work with it.

After the meeting in the Dawn Court, Oriens has arrived back at the forest to keep watch during the night. As the new day dawns, he realizes: the squirrels that caused the fires do not seem to be causing any new ones, for the first time since the disaster started. Perhaps they aren't as intentional or malicious as they seemed?
