Stone Circle she's got her eyes fixed on the floor

Valette turned her attention to the young one, who asked what kind of flower she was. The matriarch assumed it was some kind of pup logic. She didn't know right away what kind of flower she was, so she decided to bounce the question back. "What kind of flower do you think I am?," she asked the young male. Valette saw as the female was startled by her news. She could understand, perhaps Polaris hadn't fled the scene as they thought she did. But perhaps she had left before that. Maybe it was good she was away, since otherwise she might gotten hurt as well.

The Matriarch nodded seriously as the other repeated her words. "There were casualties. My own sister, Nanook, she leaves behind Siarut and her four children. And, Kaito, Arlette's mate. Both are very upset, naturally. Arlette was also injured badly," Valette explained. Everyone else was safe, but still it had created a lot of havoc. Nanook's children would grow up without their mother. Valette would try as best as she could but she knew she wasn't able to replace her. She didn't want to replace the other.

Valette then turned to the young pup. "Who did you bring to us?,' she asked the female curiously. Another pup, perhaps this one was something for Arlette to fawn over or at least focus on. She didn't seem very eager to do anything else at the moment, which was of course understandable.
