Stone Circle I am here

"She gave me some herbs," Nikai said when Valette offered her help. "I hope they'll work." He wasn't too sure about it, because he knew that Keoni had also treated his wounds with herbs and that hadn't worked so far. He did not have as much fate that anything Keoni'd tried might work now, but then, he knew nothing about medicine.

He was eager to move onto the subject of Alya, something much more pleasant to talk about. Nikai'd been feeling like a mooching bother of late because of his situation, so he was happy to think of better things. "It is. She's got two sisters too, Hydra and Lyra, who look exactly like her. I've never seen wolves who look so similar." Nikai thought it the most fantastic thing about her, though it'd always been Alya who had stood out for him.

When Valette offered to give Alya news of Nikai he smiled appreciatively. "Thanks," he said, though he gave it a few seconds thought whether he should ask such a big thing of his mother. Valette then suggested that Alya could stay with them a while and she could bring Alya the question if that was what she wanted. It seemed like a good middle ground and Nikai nodded. "Yeah, that'd be great! I mean, if you can be missed and if it isn't too much trouble... She lives at Moonspear, it's to the west across the mountains. Then there's a valley and it's the large mountain in the ridge beyond that valley that she lives at. It's quite a way though, so..." He trailed off, leaving it open-ended whether Valette would wish to do such a thing for him and Alya — he knew it was a big thing to ask.
