Stone Circle Talk to me

Valette wanted to make sure that they were alright, but Nikai couldn't see how they could be, so soon after their father's death. He understood what she inteded to say, though, that she just wanted to see that they were as good as possible under the circumstances. Nikai had a lot on his mind but he kept it all to himself; the itch of wanderlust hadn't let go of him since he had last admitted it to Valette, and though he'd only explored the meadow just outside their territory he longed to see more of the world.

Yet now was not the time and place to give in to such desires, with the current situation, and so, after exchanging a quick glance with Keoni, all he said was: "It still hurts, but I'm holding on." He didn't want to speak for his sister, though felt the desire to, so he looked to her instead, hoping that she could find a way to express herself too.
