Stone Circle Why do they leave?

Day took a moment to silently give thanks to the Cat and Calf. He was glad that most of his life had passed with very little strife or contention. The only real bad thing that'd happened to him was the fires, and even that had been a muted blow, drawn out over the course of years.

He didn't really know that Valette had suffered any worse than he had, but something about the reluctance in her eyes made Day want to just cover her with a blanket and hide her from the world.

"Well, call on me any time you need an extra set of teeth," the male offered, because it was really all he could offer the girl. Wolves, unfortunately, did not generally have blankets.
