Stone Circle I Smile Because I Want To

In all honesty, he hadn't expected to find her near her den, but when he found the circle of stones empty and the bison with no watchers he was left more than a little stumped. The boy's ears perked at the call of his name, a small half-smile taking his features as he spotted Valette and turned to meet her, Hey, Mom. Even though she was sitting the thought occurred to him that he now stood above her, no longer her little boy (even if he never was really a "little" boy). Still, he offered a soft press of his nose to her shoulder. What're you doin' over here? I feel like I never see you by your den.
