Stone Circle Time to say goodbye

It was evident from the howl that something terrible had happened right away. Nikai's ears folded back and then up as he heard the call and then he started making his way there. There was a churning in his stomach as he made his way, a frown on his face, as he knew that something was terribly wrong with Valette. Paws carried him further until he eventually reached the scene, just as his sister did. He saw the horror on her face and as he followed her gaze he saw the death that was right in front of them.

Keoni was quick to turn and run and he stood paralysed for a moment, unsure whether to follow his sister or go to his mother's side. For now he chose to stay, evidently seeing the trouble on Valette's face and he knew he was needed here, with the one of them that wanted the company. Nikai came closer and he nosed Steady's chin in a last gesture of respect before he pressed his soft, wet nose against Valette's neck in a silent gesture of comfort, even though he knew it'd never be enough. But at least she wasn't alone through it all.
