Stone Circle Mad Love

Steph knew that her mother was speaking of Ezekiel, and she frowned. Since he had left, she had spoken about him once to Aunt Nanook, but then never again. Mostly, she felt like it would be a waste of time if she did. Was he always... Absent? she asked, wondering what he was like before she was born. 

A smile broke her frown when Valette said Steph was a lot like her. I'll take that as a compliment, she responded in kind. She looked up to her mother more than anyone, and prided herself on being like Valette. It made it all worth it now that Valette had realised it, too.

Her head tilted as her she tried to envision what her mother was explaining to her. But, without having any experience, it wound up a mess in her head, and her expression likely showed it. But, she wasn't surprised when Valette explained that giving birth hurt. You think I'll have babies one day? she asked. She hadn't thought about it up until now. With no love interest, there was never a point.
