Stone Circle try to stay on track this time

@Steady and anyone who wants to come with to visit Donnelaith.

He felt a little silly whenever he caught Steady's eye nowadays. He got what the alpha meant, of course, but also found it a little naive that the man had expected him to stop and think and make good choices when faced by Amber and all her wiles. Well, okay, he'd probably been the more wiley one, but still. They couldn't very well wait until spring when her heat was happening in Autumn. He would've said so, but if Steady didn't already know certain facts like that, Grayday wasn't going to be the one to tell him. Either way, if a woman's heat came in Autumn once, it would probably come again in Autumn the next year!

He tried to tell himself that this was a good enough excuse, but he still couldn't seem to look the alpha in the eye.

That would change today, however. He hated to leave right as they were making their claim, but Day had stayed up all night marking the borders the night before, and he wanted to go and see this Deirdre that Doe had mentioned before it was time again to go and find Amber. Maybe she would never have to know that he was slowly going blind - maybe he wouldn't be, by the time he saw her again. The only thing left to do was go and tell Steady - and he wouldn't quail this time, even if he had been a little bit in the wrong.

Day ambled through the Stone Circle, glad that the ground was clear and even, and that there was a dark smudge in the distance that was probably his alpha. So much easier to locate the others, here.

"Steady," Day called, heading toward the smudge.
