Stone Circle How far I'll go

Valette was taking a break during the hottest time of the day. She had found a cool spot in the shade and watched over her brood. She deserved a rest after taking care of Stark and making sure that he would get enough water during this heat. She let the pups play around and explore the clearing and some of the wooded area around the clearing. She was getting far more relaxed with letting her children explore.

Valette raised her head when she heard someone approach. She instantly smiled when seeing Steph. She was so proud of her daughter though she realized she hadn't seen her around for a long time, perhaps a few times in passing but not much after that. "Hi Steph," she greeted and nuzzled her back. "Good good. With me at least. Stark seems to be under the weather. I'm only a bit worried. Everything is going great with the pups. Though Keen still seems a bit timid, the other two are doing great. They look happy." Valette then glanced over her daughter. "How have you been?"
