Stone Circle Is This Home?

Nyra's expression changed from anxiety and hope as Valette spoke, to pure shock, despair and sadness "Nanook is gone...?" The girl whimpered softly.

She didn't want to believe it. She had looked up to her, for the short time she had known the ruffled-looking woman. 
Shaking her head, Nyra felt tears forming in her eyes. 
"I shouldn't have left. I should have stayed here. I should have proved myself by staying, instead of leaving like I did. Maybe then she wouldn't be dead..." 

Nyra took a few moments to try and get herself together, but every time she looked back up at Valette's strict gaze, she felt more and more guilty. 

"I..." The snowy girl started weakly, "I appreciate you being willing to allow me to prove myself here. But with the news Nanook passed away, I...I don't think I can allow myself to find a place in Easthollow anymore. Not after the stunt I pulled." 
She tucked her tail and started to turn away, but paused, looking back at the dark-furred Matriarch "I wish you, Greyback, and the rest of Easthollow well, Lady Valette," Nyra offered a small, solemn smile with flattened ears "May the food in your lands always be plenty, and the water forever be pure. It was a pleasure to meet you, but now I...now I must bid you farewell. Again, I wish everyone in Easthollow the best. You and Greyback especially, have my respect, and my condolences in Lady Nanook's passing." 

With that, Nyra offered a deep bow of her head before she finally faced the direction she had came, and walked away.
Her form, a few yards off, picked up into a trot before she eventually fully disappeared.
