Stone Circle lookin' for a mind at work

Valette received her well, and though the way she chuckled at her concern ruffled the Apaata in a way, the fact she so willingly accepted her blunt rebuke brought surprise to her eyes. She had never counted her words to mean much more than noise, so she considered this instance a fluke. But the fact her sister agreed did a wonder on her in the moment, and she felt taller, almost. Stronger.

But above all, she felt relieved her sister shared her sentiments - that she, too, saw and realized she needed a man who was willing to commit to this pup-thing with her, in more than just providing the other parts necessary for that pup-thing to happen. Their pack had many nice guys, but when Nanook rifled through the list, none stood on level ground with her sister. Whoever Valette chose would have to be someone outstanding - if only because Nanook called for no one less.

Tall, dark, and handsome - yeah, she supposed there were plenty of those here, too - but hang on. Her brow pinched - wait a minute -

Her rabbit-trail of thought suddenly derailed with Valette's probe against her, and she blinked with a flurried, "No." But that really wasn't much of an answer. "I mean, it's never crossed my mind." Well, that was a lie. Her ears burned, and if a wolf could blush, Nanook would have turned a shade as bright as the copper of her eyes. Thankfully her fur concealed her skin with a thick layer of grey, though the slant of her ears probably gave her away. "It's just, I've always had more important things to think about."
