Stone Circle And the tears of people ran together

She would be around somewhere, she always was. She was quiet sometimes, but since having moved the youth to the stone circle, he felt he was supposed to be spending more time on his own, rather than being babied in the den. This was her way of giving him time to learn and explore, though...He would have much preferred to be someone's shadow, than to be left in the shadows of the standing stones alone. 

Gunnar would go find her, and when Bjarna encouraged him to go with him, he looked up at her, concerned. It wasn't like her to send him off with someone else, unless she was too busy, and for whatever reason...He didn't think she was busy. But he'd do what she asked. When she pulled away from him, he leaned back toward her long enough to give her cheek a kiss. He gave her a smile. "We will go find Mama. Then maybe we all get food!" He said.
