Stone Circle set the show

When finally Ezekiel caught up to Valette, she turned and gave him a nod, nothing more. He longed for the old days when she would've come to his side, and said hello, and his tail would've wagged and a smile would've been on both of their faces. He couldn't muster any sort of expression in the moment, because he didn't know how to feel. Without another word he quickened his pace until he was walking a few steps behind her. He slowed down then, matching her footsteps.

He had thought over some things he might say to her now, but he dropped them all. May I hunt with you? He asked permission, hoping she would say yes. This would be the first hunt, other than the pack hunts, that he wouldn't be alone since the death.
