Stone Circle lookin' for a mind at work

I love Nanook so much, haha. This is amazing.

Valette loved to hear Nanook's own laugh. It was always like a nice gift. It made the day better when she heard Nanook laugh. Valette laughed at Nanook's comment. Well, having pups was like a war. She could tell that. But soon the pain was forgotten and you would get wonderful little things for it in return. Then Nanook dared to comment that mates were just a distraction. The darker sister gasped and shook her head. "Your mate is someone you can always go you when you need them and they will be there for you. So, when I thought I had no family anymore I had Steady. He was my friend and someone who cared for me. Looked out for me," she explained. Now she missed him again.

"And you can be there for them, make them feel good. There is also more practical stuff, like curling up together at night and well, raising pups." Valette never raised her own with Steady but she did raise Nikai and Keoni. "But those pups are only extra. To have a mate is to never be alone, to have someone love you even though you do something stupid. Or help you when you can't do things alone," she continued to babble. She was just describing Steady now. "Though, not all mates are like that. I guess," she mumbled. "In your case, Nanook. You should only have a mate if you want to be with them," she spoke with a nod. "When you feel good being with that one wolf. Where you can both sit in silence and it is okay." Valette hoped that aspect might appeal to Nanook.

Valette then felt some heat rise to her cheeks as she thought of something else. "And um.. Sometimes they can make you feel good as well. Like... physically. All tingly and stuff like that. Intimate stuff without getting the pups. It feels nice as well," she spoke with a shy grin and a quick shrug. Now she might have scared Nanook or given her a light trauma by talking about such intimate things.
