Stone Circle Tea time

While she was caked in mud, Steph was careful to be the polite pup her mother had taught her to be, even if she didn't appear that way at the moment. Pups will be pups, after all. Her eyes widened at the female and a smile slowly krept upong her maw when she confessed that Murdock said she was his favorite. Really? Did he say that? she asked, almost disbelieving. She just needed confirmation that Moo had, indeed, said that, and not someone else. It would have meant the world if it came from him.

Steph looked to her mother as she began to speak, nodding that she did remember meeting Stark. She looked back to Banner, as she introduced herself, and smiled. I liked Stark, she commented. She had no doubt that she would like his sister, as well. Steph hadn't yet met another wolves she didn't like, and it didn't occur to her that she ever would.

Her expression turned sheepish when Valette commented on her appearance. I would 'ave cleaned up before coming, but I didn't want you to wait, she explained. She had every intention of washing off before returning to the den, but she hadn't expected Valette to call for her in the middle of her play time.
