Stone Circle can we keep her?

Murdock nodded, although he secretly planned to give the girl portions of his own kills. If wolves were bad off all alone, how was a dog supposed to survive on its own? The male thought this was needlessly harsh of Valette, and wondered if the woman had some reason think badly of dogs. Had she had many interactions with them?

His eyes narrowed at the perceived threat against his new bedmate. "I won't be letting anyone hurt her - don't worry about that," said Murdock, hoping it wouldn't come to defending Poppy against Valette's attacks, but at this point, rather expecting it. Perhaps this wasn't as safe a haven for the girl as he'd thought. Would they need to leave? It was a sad thought, and the male turned his face from his leader, feeling unaccountably betrayed by the woman even though she'd made no secret of her lukewarm feelings toward him.

"Do you want to help me show Puppy around?" he asked Steph.
