Bearclaw Valley One year later...

Valette was surprised by the answer he had given her. How did this pup not know what a mother was like? Was he taken from her? The girl heard it all relatively soon afterwards. She shook her head lightly when he asked her to forgive him, because there was nothing to forgive she would be happy to explain it to him how it was to have a mother. "You weren't rude,' she spoke to him before he continued.

He explained that he was taken, which was what Valette had thought moments ago. That was horrible. So it could be that he was related to her mother, and they would never know. This male didn't remember. The girl grew a bit tense when he mentioned that he was an assassin. Hopefully not to assassinate her, because well, she was not good at fighting. She was diplomatically right, and knew how to behave but actual fighting.

The girl nodded back. "Good to meet you Icarus," she spoke in return. "You can stop apologizing to me. However I do hope you are not here to assassinate me," which sounded surprisingly steady coming from her. "I am sorry that you were taken as a pup. Sorry for asking. I can however explain to you what it is like to have a mother? If you want that,' she returned.
