Stone Circle So they return

Birk, who was more concerned about the things that happened within his eye level, rarely if ever lifted his head to check, what was happening above his head. If that was something he could not reach, then it was of no interest to him. Therefore, when he - looking for Valette and having almost tracked her down - heard the rumbling noise and the gusts of wind that accompanied him, he was less panicked than amazed. He craned his neck back to have a good look at the alien thing that flew above him, but did not react in any way.

That was until he first heard and then saw the fleeing form of his leader. She looked anxious and rather than running for his life himself, Birk set after the gray-furred lady. And as he did this, he did not realize that for the first time since he had joined Easthollow, he was not doing this for the sake of leaving a good impression. He was genuinely worried for his packmate's well-being.
