Stone Circle What is drama but life with the dull bits cut out

A little vagueness going on in this post

Ira explained that is was quite common for coming of age wolves to do the same, and even she herself had done it. It made Steph feel better that she wasn't alone in that. How old were you? Steph asked, curious. She figured it was different for every wolf that went out on their own. She wondered how many simply found new lives and didn't go back to their home pack.

She nodded when Valette was brought up. Yes, she agreed. She was looking a bit thin, she added. Valette said the pack was large. Are enough of them hunting for her? she asked. Steph didn't know what had gotten into her, it just simply irked her to see her mother thinner than she should have been with so many around. Like Aerasha. Aerasha looks quite healthy, she commented, gauging Ira's reaction. Much too healthy, in Steph's opinion.
