Stone Circle so long

Nikai nodded and smiled. He hoped some day Alya would feel at home enough here so she wouldn't need it to visit her family all the time. But then again, they both had wanderlust in their paws so could they really settle in one place? Nikai was not so sure. The only thing he was sure of now was that he would return here after summer. Yes, I wouldn't want to stay away from home too long, Nikai said and he nosed Arlette's cheek with a smile.

She was caught off guard that he'd ask her to come at all. It seemed that Valette was right and the girl preferred staying here, which was totally fine. Nikai nodded and said, It's okay to not want to travel, Arlette. He felt she was searching for reasons when really, just 'it's not for me' was a good enough reason. I'll miss you, but I'm glad to know you'll be here taking care of everyone.
