Stone Circle oh, it feels like ages though you say it's only days

Nikai didn't care overly much about his leg; it was really just a faint distraction from the grief he felt in the wake of Keoni's loss. He was glad for this distraction and happy that Poppy didn't pick up his compliments weirdly. He knew he could be forward sometimes with these things and that not everyone was like that. Nikai smiled as she complimented his spots and said, "Thanks."

Valette went on to say that she hoped a healer would join them soon, though Nikai didn't care much. He looked at the leg only briefly before turning his attention back to Poppy. "Maybe we could go hunting together sometime." As an afterthought, for he'd forgotten for a moment, he added: "I mean — When my leg's better." Nikai direly needed more friends, for he often felt that the only wolves he truly knew within the pack were his family; maybe Poppy could be one.
