Stone Circle lookin' for a mind at work

Nanook brushed her compliments off like it was the most normal thing in the world. But before they rekindled it hadn't been the case. Valette saw the small smile on her sister's lips though. "I think it should be said," she spoke with a firm nod. It was almost motherly in the way she did it. The female couldn't help it as she had to juggle her motherly duties with leadership duties and on top of that a dash of a sibling relationship. Mostly the motherly side showed.

Nanook booked a lot of progress since coming here. Valette had noticed her efforts and was just glad that Nanook found her place in Easthollow. Her pups were also very fond of Auntie Nook. Valette was as well. "I am just very grateful to have my sister by my side and that I love you," she offered with a genuine smile. She liked that she was getting a real bond with Nanook. Valette wasn't sure if this was all too much expressed emotions. But she wanted it to be out there. Valette had always been more open with that, more so than Nanook. She didn't expect a reply. She was certain that if Nanook didn't feel the same way she would have left. "I guess you didn't know this but you really helped me with just being there when I didn't have Steady anymore."

Her kids were also a big factor but she realized she couldn't have done it alone. If she didn't have her sister to bring her meals, or be that extra set of eyes at the borders, or just being her sister Valette might not have made it. Or worse, one of her pups might not have made it.
