Stone Circle What is that in the distance?

Im fine with wrapping up this thread soon if you are! :D

He refused to waver in the olive gaze that caught him, 'they're like gems' he thought absentmindedly. It seemed like forever until Valette spoke again. He could tell she was trying to be strong, she was strong, but the disparity seeping through her tone was clear to the man.

"Okay, I will allow you to go."

Greyback gave her a kind smile at the words, but sadness still held in his eyes.  He was worried for her, worried of what would become of the dark female while he was away. She seemed so lost lately, like she was preparing for something bad to happen. He so desperately wanted to comfort her; run his nose along her forehead and tell her everything would be alright. Everything would be fine, but knew his feelings weren't reciprocated.

"Thank you for having faith in me, Valette," He whispered, standing up and pulling away from her to look back at the land. It seemed vast within the overcast skies of smoke, the mountains barely visible. It was as if Easthollow was in their own world, sanctioned off to everyone else within the lands. "I shall leave at once,"

Stepping forward, Greyback trekked down the side of the slope to begin his journey, his ears pointed forward and head bowed low against the wind. It was only when he was a sizable distance away that he turned to look up from where he came, hoping to catch the figure of Valette.
