Stone Circle Into the negative

Valette didn't expect to startle the female. The dark chocolate female quickly offered a kind smile. She didn't mean to disturb Ira or make her feel like she couldn't groom herself. There was nothing embarrassing about it, right? "Oh no worries, Ira," she instantly assured. Her eyes traveled to the tallest stone, Steady's stone. Now the sadness had turned into only good memories of her former mate. "No need to be formal here," she added. She was just Valette after all. She rather be more of a mother figure rather than a strict ruler.

The dark female offered a warm smile. "I was just wondering how you were doing," she admitted then. "I wondered if you were settling in well and if it wasn't too tough to live with... well, someone you dislike," she tried to put it nicely. She then realized this might all be terribly personal. "If it is too personal, I apologize. I was just curious. I never had a good bond with my father and I would not be able to live with him," she revealed about herself.
