Stone Circle Brother in arms

Valette was on the other side of the territory when she heard the howl for leadership and... Stark? Valette made some haste to the howl but once she arrived she realized she wasn't the only one. First one the noticed was Stark. He was so close with this stranger? Valette squinted her eyes as she trotted closer though she quickly realized it was a male. Her eye then caught Birk. She greeted him with a dip of her head before trotting closer to Stark.

Valette trusted Stark enough that she dared to approach this stranger more closely. Normally she would make sure there was enough distance between the stranger and her. "Stark, who is this?," she asked, her tail was still raised. She had never met Rhodes but she had heard of him and how he was Stark's best friend. She had never seen Stark so social instantly so it must be someone he was close with at least. That was Valette's reasoning.
