Stone Circle Why do they leave?

AW!

Valette was often found in the stone circle. She often napped with her back against the sun warmed stones, and she had a grey view onto the meadow below. She didn't mind sleeping under the open skies, but the fact that she didn't have Ezekiel to keep her warm made her sad. Where could he be? It had been more than a few weeks, at least that was how it felt like, and slowly she came to terms with the idea that he might have passed away. She was not quick to cry but now she felt like crying. She had really liked him and he was gone too. It wasn't like she hadn't been faithful, she had waited for two days around their meeting spot and returned to it once they moved there every day the first week.

Even the positive Valette would give up eventually. She looked out of the meadow below and sighed. Hunting helped to keep her mind of things, and hopefully before a new mission would come from Steady she would have her hunting specialty. However that didn't make up for the loss feeling that was swirling inside of her. She didn't want to be closed off again like she had been before. She didn't want herself to grow bitter. So she should not distance herself, and surround herself with warmth of her friends. A howl came from her, it sounded a bit sad but it was a call for a pack mate, a friend, someone. She hoped that @Steady might respond seeing he helped her last time when she was all alone and distancing herself.
