Stone Circle the blind leaving the blind

The revelation at the borders had been quite the shock to young Valiant. He'd known by the look on his aunts' faces that they hadn't known, and therefore had not been trying to hide it from him, but he felt bitter all the same. Easy had dumped him at Round Valley instead of letting him help search, and he'd resigned himself to that. He'd made friends with his cousins, had grown attached to his great aunt, who had been teaching him the ropes of hunting while her husband taught him how to fight -- and then Easy dragged him back here, where she'd found a man who wouldn't even recognize him.

He'd yet to approach his "father", not sure he could stand seeing the man if he didn't remember his own son. It was just as bad as losing Ma or Steph or Aeryn, except they couldn't even move on while their shell of a dad was still wandering around.

Valiant slunk through the territory with the mien of a boy that has been wrong by the world. He had often been berated for sulking in Round Valley, so if anyone approached, he would be quick to buck up and try to disguise his ill temper.
