Stone Circle it's a nice place you've got here

Steady was quickly getting possessive of Valette, and he hated having her out of his sight. He had done patrols late in the night, and should have been sleeping this early morning, but the loss of Valette's heat from the den would not allow him to slumber any longer. Instead, he followed her scent, needing to be near her. Maybe a part of him hoped his affections and attention would spur her body into its cycle. 

He came upon her, and a new recruit. As he approached her backside, he attempted to give it a nibble, grinning mischievously at her as he came to stand beside her. His gaze turned, then, to the new member of the pack. This one had been approved by Valette, he knew, but he hadn't realized she was so small. Like, incredibly small. Was she a pup? If so, where were her parents? But, his nose picked up quickly the smell of her leaking teets, and it was not something he could ignore. Do you have pups? he asked abruptly. It was probably rude of him not to introduce himself, but he felt there was a more important subject at hand. He glanced to Valette, wondering if she had an answer, too.
