Stone Circle I'm not crying; I'm just allergic to jerks

No worries! I've been super busy so no hurry at all. Sorry about not tagging.

A stately older woman responded to his call, and he dipped his head respectfully at her arrival. She—Valette—was very beautiful and seemed kind, though not for lack of fierceness. If his family were anywhere besides with Dawn, he sort of hoped they were here.

It's nice to meet you, Valette, Timberlake replied, smiling. My name is Timberlake—I'm looking for members of my family still living in this area. Do you know Dawn, of Whitebark Stream? That's my cousin. I guess I'm looking for her brother, Sunny, and. . .uh. . .oh, yeah, his son Valiant.

That wasn't all. He sucked in a breath, lips quirking in a silly expression. Also, my cousins Easy and Dauntless and Winterbourne. I know, that's a lot of names. . .sorry. But if she knew Dawn, then perhaps she knew these names as well. She could be of great help.
