Stone Circle tell everybody i'm on my way

Nikai decided to simply ignore the discussion that Alya continued with the other girl -- it didn't really matter all that much. What mattered was that they were here, and back. Alya seemed to agree with his sentiments, for which he was glad, and he waited for a response -- unsure if 'Mister Greyback' was a leader that could grant them sanctuary. But if not, then surely Valette would arrive soon. Her scent lingered along the borders, so she must still live here.

He wasn't disappointed; Valette arrived shortly, looking over the moon. Nikai's tail started to whir with excitement, too, as he closed the gap between them, revealing his missing left hind leg. "I missed you," he said as he pressed his face against the fur on Valette's neck, sniffing in the familiar scent of home. While Nikai enjoyed wandering and being out in the world had been enjoyable for him, it was good to have somewhere to return -- someone to return to.

"We're here to stay a while," Nikai elaborated, in case Greyback and Alya's words weren't clear enough yet. "And, uh - we're mates now." Nikai smiled at his mother as he told her the news, then looked back at Alya. It was all going so fast, but Nikai had never minded that. He was a bit of a romantic at heart, and from the moment he had first seen Alya (and her sisters) when he was young he'd known that there was something special about her.
