Stone Circle things

Nikai nodded as Valette answered his question, glad that she was ready to answer his questions. Nikai looked surprised when Valette mentioned that she'd had pups with Steady, since he was dead, but she corrected herself and that made more sense. It made Nikai wonder who the father was, though he didn't connect any of the dots in the conversation. He did notice that Ezekiel seemed a bit uncomfortable, but Nikai understood. The subject was kind of weird for him too, and it was only Valette's calmness about it that made him feel completely at ease. "See you later," Nikai said with a soft smile before turning his attention back to his mother.

"Thanks! I hope I'll see her again soon and I can invite her over then." Nikai hoped that she'd like to visit Easthollow, even though it was a bit of a journey from where she lived. "So, uhm... If Steady's not the father of the pups, who is? Do you have a new mate?" It was clear from his voice that he was a little uncomfortable, feeling he was treading on some private subjects here, but Nikai really wanted to know the answers.
