Stone Circle sing to me all the song of the stars

Larus wasn't aware that Valette's sibling lived with her; he didn't even know the alpha's full name and likely wouldn't make the connection for a while. He thought the name was pretty — maybe that was a vain thing to say — but it was, and his smile grew a little.

They were quiet for a bit after that, and Larus was idly thinking of what else to say or, maybe let himself get distracted by the stars, but then Nanook said something he almost missed. Her correction was clearer, and gave him something to think about. He'd been to so many places and gone through so much, but it was hard to remember the details.

The most important thing to happen was a run-in with a red-furred woman. At that point Larus didn't know what to make of her and had dismissed her eagerly - she seemed crazy - but that had led him on a personal quest outside of the valley. A brief stint with a mountain pack too, but that wouldn't make him out to be that great of a person (he did abandon them after all). So he resorted to being vague by saying, Here and there, didn't settle anywhere for long. But then when the winter hit... I dunno, the lonliness kinda got to me. He rolled his hefty shoulders and glanced at the dirt, hoping she wouldn't delve deeper than she had — but at the same time, enjoying her company.
