Stone Circle The toxicity of our city

Again, he was gracious in his response, and Banner appreciated it in a way she couldn't possibly vocalize.  Several responses were on the tip of her tongue, most having to do with how sorry she was to hear that he was having trouble sleeping, but she kept them all at bay.  Things like that didn't hold much meaning - anyone could give a one-off apology just to move along conversation.  That, and she wasn't really sure how to relate to the lightly-colored male just yet.  Was Easthollow a close-knit pack or did she have that impression simply because she'd known Valette so long?  More time was needed to figure that part out.
