Stone Circle we gotta share this place, alright?

Selkie hesitated, chewing on a chunk of meat, before lifting her gaze to Akuti and offering a lopsided and rueful smile. “Guess I ran off after some guy,” she admitted, ears flicking back against her head for a moment. Selkie wasn’t proud of her flighty behaviour, taking off without a word, nor of the fact that at the root of it had been a male. A male she’d cared about, but one whom she’d realised probably hadn’t cared all that much for her. She wouldn’t be making that mistake again.

Her head cocked, her ears lifting from her skull again. “Really? Ah, that musta been nice, though? Havin’ someone around all the time – harder to feel lonely with family around?” Selkie missed her own family - her birth family, at least. She viewed Easthollow as a second family, one she'd chosen.
