Stone Circle Discussing Matters

I'm going to just post here since he should be back already but I'm lazy

Part of Murdock felt guilty for leaving his blood family while danger was on the horizon, but he knew that his place was here. Grayday was a big boy, now, and had to protect his own children. Who would protect Valette's? 

He'd heard quite a bit about the brewing war while at Morningside, but somehow, he hadn't thought it would touch Easthollow. There was a whole damn mountain range between them, wasn't there?
 
 Nanook seemed to think differently. Murdock hoped she was wrong, but gave voice in agreement either way. "We should all know how to protect ourselves, even if there wasn't a threat." he said, remembering Valette's tangle with the wolverine.
