Stone Circle When the party is over

Wanted to do a new round after five days but eh, NEW ROUND!

Valette watched as Sia came in and was greeted by his children. It was a good sight to see. They clearly needed their dad. Valette could wish that the pups would find support by her as well, but she knew that she wasn't their mother, and that they were in shock. She was just glad all four were safe, and not outside. It was eerily silent. By the way Sia looked, and what she heard before she knew enough. Nanook passed. She could feel a tear roll down her fur.

Now the pups had their dad she felt that she had done her job, for now. She nodded at Sia, her heart leaping as Arlette needed her. That meant she was alive. "It is okay, Sia. Be with your children," she spoke, sounding so calm. She climbed from the den and felt her heart sink. Nanook's body right by the cougar. Valette's heart started to beat faster when seeing the cougar even though it was dead.

She felt so helpless when seeing her sister. She stepped closer, carefully, and then saw the smile on Nanook's face. Valette inhaled and shook her head lightly, warily of the cougar. She felt it could jump up and attack her again. "Goodbye, my fierce Sister," she whispered and planted a nuzzle on her brow. She would need her own stone. They would need to bury the death, and move that cougar. Valette's eye then fell on West and Arlette. The matriarch trotted towards them. "Arlet--" she stopped halfway when her eyes fell on the motionless pups. "Oh no,' she whispered.

Her heart jerked as she knew what it was like to lose pups. And Arlette? She had none. Valette felt awful for condemning her. Her eyes traveling to Kaito, he had been so silent. Her pour daughter. "Arlette, I'm so sorry," she started with a whine. This was the worst thing that could happen. She never wished for her daughter to lose her mate and her children. She was mad for having them but... never... she would never have wanted this for her. Valette stepped closer to Arlette's face, ready to help lick her wounds like West was doing. She looked at him with pride  and gave him a nod of approval.

Before she started to lick Arlette though Valette howled to @Greyback to let him know to come quick. She needed him here. Then she howled to @Oryx she was a healer and this was a good moment to help her new family out. The Matriarch stepped closer to Arlette. "West, I will take it from here. Can you check if the others are alright. Like your grandpa for example. Tell them what happened. We will need some able bodies to--- to move their bodies to the circle," she instructed to him. Reminded that she would never see her alive sister again. But also thinking about Arlette who lost not only her mate, her aunt, but also her children. Valette stepped closer to lick the scratches on her face.[/b]
