Stone Circle Thank you

 

No matter how hard he'd tried it felt like he was tying himself down. Down to Easthollow and to Valette - and he felt Banner was settling in as well. His worry for his sister was always a high priority but he never wanted to crowd her. Like with Valette it was a weird dance of being present but not too overwhelming. He didn't want them to grow sick of his presence after all. Stark gave a little sigh at Valette's lick his eyes turning to meet hers even if he didn't lift his head from her.

"I don't know why they picked me, but, I'm still here, so I've got to think it's for a reason." Stark explained. It was some aspect of his hero complex, always trying to carve out some spot and role for himself. "It doesn't hurt me anymore... It just .. I can't forget that pain, so sometimes, it's almost like I'm reliving it again. My mind just does it, sometimes when I'm asleep." Admitting a weakness was one of the worst things to have to do, so, hopefully Valette would know how much he trusted her by opening up this much.
