Hushed Willows Something you must know.

Still full of emotion, Banner simply nodded her agreement at Stark's words.  He'd alwasy been far more eloquent than she.  It was a damn good thing she had her darling brother.  She looked up and tossed him a small, grateful smile just for good measure.  He knew he was always appreciated but it certainly didn't hurt to remind him every now and then.

We'll give you more time to settle in, but I'd love to visit and meet your Alpha, she replied.  Banner didn't have the chance to visit Valette in her old home.  Actually, she didn't have the chance to do much visiting at all.  The best time for her to go would likely be in a couple of weeks.  The youngest Marauders were a little bit older now and out of their birthing den and ideally she'd make her journey before winter was truly upon them..

Her train of thought was interrputed by the mention of their former Alpha.  Heaving a quiet sigh, Banner felt it best to be a little blunt with her response: Octavia is dead.
