Stone Circle Thank you

Valette couldn't help but grin like a happy teenager with a crush when Stark settled next to her. She automatically leaned against him. Which was 'rewarded' with a lick over her cheek. Valette chuckled softly. "But it is your gift!," she exclaimed. Though she didn't really want the kill to go to waste and it was a sweet gesture of the male. That was for sure.

Valette shook her head. "I am not. I like doing the work for the pack. It makes me feel better and productive. I like the connection with others as well. It helps to process what happened," she admitted and then quirked up her lips. Strangely enough, having lost Steady and her mother before Keoni died it made her cope with the loss a bit better than before. Valette rested his head against him when he started to groom her scruff. It was such a nice touch. She missed that. The female realized that she didn't mind Stark touching her so kindly like this.

"That feels nice," she admitted in a whisper. She hadn't been groomed in a long time. It was nice that someone spent some quality time with her. Often she felt dirty, as in just overworked-no-time-for-looking-nice kind of way. Though Stark taking the time made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Since her muzzle was close to Stark's chest she started to groom him as well. The kill forgotten in Valette's eyes. She licked over his coat and teeth groomed over his chest. Though she didn't realize she was grooming over a mark she couldn't see.
