Stone Circle Weird flex but ok

Nikai smiled at his mother as she said she'd him to returning here after summer, confident that she'd be well in his absence. He would miss his family, but Nikai didn't doubt they would be just fine. At his suggestion to ask Arlette along Valette seemed surprised. Maybe because she was afraid to let her daughter go, too, and didn't want to look at the prospect of seeing her leave.

Nikai looked thoughtful for a moment and then decided: I'll just ask her if she's interested to come. Then if she wanted to stay here in Easthollow, that was fine too. I'll miss Easthollow, but we'll be back. Nikai smiled warmly at Valette, feeling a little guilty but knowing he was doing right by his mate by supporting her decision to move back to Moonspear for now.
