Stone Circle How far I'll go

Realizing now that Stark's condition might be worse than she thought, she offered, I could go to one of our allies and see if their healer can visit him. If it was a prolonged sickness, Steph worried it would continue to get worse. She would be more than willing to go and find someone to help him.

Steph could feel Arlette's teeth, but she didn't flinch away from the bites her little sister was imposing on her. She was glad to see her instinct was her to put her maw over Steph's to try and get her away, and Steph released Arlette when she did so. The play was short lived, however, when Arlette figured out who they were talking about. Steph looked to Valette, unsure how she would handle Arlette's questioning. 

She wasn't ignorant of her mother's fears about raising another litter without a father. It made Steph want even more so to get a healer to see if they could make Stark better.
