Stone Circle visitation rights

Valette soon appeared to take the food and Nikai could get a quick glimpse on the pups. Ears perked forward as he looked at them, missing Valette's social cue in the process but it didn't matter, because he had already deduced from how tiny they looked that he shouldn't get too close.

"They're so tiny," Nikai said in awe at the miracle of life. "When will they be big enough...?" He didn't specify what for, because it seemed clear to him that he meant being able to see them up close. He had never seen pups before and he hadn't thought they would be so small. He had no clue how long it took for them to grow.
