Bearclaw Valley Some people feel the rain, others just get wet.

Valette turned towards the sounds of someone approaching. It was quickly followed by a greeting. The female turned to the male, big and dark in color. Steady! Her mourning state of mind wanted to see her deceased mate into the male but it was a glamor that lasted only for a few seconds. His eyes were too yellow, and there was gray around his muzzle. Valette's surprised eyes turned into disappointment.

However, the alpha did stumble upon the stranger that was in the valley. She pushed her ears forward, not wanting to come over as too unsocial. She was sociable before Steady died. "Hi," she greeted. She tried to take in his scent but the rain washed most of it away. "Are you traveling?," she inquired. "Because then I can already tell you that this valley only as one entrance and exit." Technically, that was not true as there were many secret tunnels, but Valette had not lived here long enough to know about them.
