Stone Circle Tea time

Valette! she greeted in kind, blinking away her surprise as the Alpha female appeared near her in no time at all.  Banner folded her dark chocolate-colored ears back against her skull and made sure her tail was lowered in deference.  She drew close to the other female and gently pressed her nose to Valette's cheek, a familiar sort of greeting she tended to give friends.  When she stepped back, a respectful nod of her head was added for good measure.

I'm doing well, thank you for asking, she replied warmly, touched that the darker female would take time out of her busy day just to check in.  When she moved right along to talking about her pups, Banner brightened.  Ah, Murdock told me you had three.  I've actually met Clary, she offered in her low voice, shrugging off the less-than-warm greeting she'd recieved from the other wolf present that night.  That was a discussion for later.  Are they around? she asked, craning her neck to look behind the Alpha.  Maybe the pups were hiding out in the trees somewhere..
