Stone Circle so i'll follow the birdsong

// will probably keep these short just to keep up with things between doctor's appointments 

Stark was reluctant to leave Valette for too long in any fashion - watching their brood when she needed to stretch her legs, or get some food, or just.... Be not saddled down with their litter. He had to remind himself that Valette was a more than capable parent and didn't need his smothering but he'd never had the chance to just be a father. He'd learned as quickly as he could, mastering cleaning and soothing although him and his worthless nipples couldn't feed for a damn - which @Arlette had quickly reminded him - he made every attempt to keep them happy. When he'd heard the call to the borders it brought him to attention and he cut his path around the territory short to answer the call.

He arrived to a pair and a gaggle of children, the male in particular looking ragged and halfway drug to deaths doorstep. Already he was uneasy with the situation, his own family taking priority and so many other tiny mouths to feed - although Easthollow was proudly thriving with Valette's hard work he did not like the notion of being taxed with so many other young. "Why here?" Stark asked, exchanging a brief glance with Illecebra.
