Stone Circle Let's catch up.

When he heard the call Nikai was checking out the small lake where he'd seen the kingfisher when he lived here before. He was digging up memories with Steph and what life had been like here before. Valette's howl snapped him from his thoughts but also reminded him that not all that he had known here before was lost -- Valette was still here. Nikai called back to inform her of his location and invited her to join.

Nikai hesitated a moment whether he should meet her in the middle, but then he decided against it and remained seated by the side of the lake. It looked so different now that it was winter and the pond was frozen over and snow covered all the bushes and trees by its sides. It painted an idyllic picture however, one that Nikai was eager to enjoy a bit longer while he waited for Valette.
