Stone Circle Why is the [water] gone?!

Steph's laugher faded as soon as she realized Merrit wasn't laughing along with her. Was he seriously concerned that Grayback was blocking the river and that something had happened to him? She dropped her muzzle in an attempt to nudge him. I didn't mean to laugh at you, she said softly, hoping he would forgive her.

Steph turned to follow Valette, but she looked back to make sure Merrit was coming, too. She stopped alongside her mother, mirroring her concerned look. She understood the look to Merrit, too. He was too young to go outside the borders. I can stay here if you want to go look, she offered, hinting that she would stay with her brother.
