Stone Circle world war me

@Calloon -- things got busy, sorry! I will be faster!

It was as if her words had stilled him, and in the following silence of the next few seconds, she worried that the fault was hers. The soft whine that escaped him lead her further towards this conclusion, and the shake of her head, while liquid in possible meaning, gave her the suspicion that their sister was no longer alive.

Calloon... what's  wrong? Why aren't you speaking to me? the question came with the light sweetness of a concerned sister. It seemed the best possible step to take next; was he too surprised or saddened by her sudden appearance to utter a word, or had those animals, their rivals, done something terrible to him to render him permanently silent?
