Stone Circle you can't go home again

Murdock wasn't surprised when Valette ignored his compliment. She'd made it pretty clear that she wasn't interested in him, but Murdock thought it might make her feel better to know that someone thought she was desireable.

He was surprised by Valette's reaction to the simple fact Shale had shared. Apparently, Grayday's name was known rather well at Easthollow - by its leader, at least. Murdock wondered if there'd been anything between the two of them. "I wasn't sure it'd be relevent," he replied, feeling chastened by Valette's near-accusing tone. "I found out a while ago that Sunny was my nephew, but after he left... I didn't think there'd be anyone left to care."

He looked to Shale for a moment, wondering if he and Grayday were still as identical as they'd seemed when they were young. "And anyway... neither of us have seen him in years." Murdock wondered if Day would even want to see them. Sometimes, he still wondered whether or not he wanted to see Day.
