Valette relaxed somewhat when Kove spoke that he would never hurt her. Still, Valette wasn't sure what he had been up to these days, and they had killed before. She had been aware of that. She could still remember the time she visited him and Xan at Blackfeather. It had been dark and smelly. Valette glanced at her daughter when Kove spoke how he met her. She wasn't aware that Arlette traveled to Bearclaw often, and that she would be meeting strangers. It made her aware that Arlette maybe too friendly...

"I see," Valette spoke. It had been so long since she had seen him, spoke to him. Basically, she had not expected to see him ever again in her life. Many mean comments came to her mind. He had left her, why visit her now? Why did he even care? If he cared he would have been with her and not abandoned Scarlett. Valette stayed quiet for a while. It was for the sake of her own daughter, and the lack she had of a father figure, that she eventually found some margin to give him another chance. She sighed softly. "No, don't," she responded to his last few words.

She glanced at Arlette briefly. "You are family and I've been telling to all my children that family is important," she spoke. Her hazel eyes looked into those of her father's, one she had trouble remembering from her childhood. She was trying to put them back in her own memory again. "You should know as my father how my life looks now," she admitted, perhaps a bit proud of her life as well. Valette stepped to the side and motioned for him to follow her. "Arlette would you like to tell about Easthollow?"
