Stone Circle Tea time

Her Alpha's reassurance helped Banner to relax her expression again.  She hadn't meant to be the one to tell Steph that Murdock favored her, but she supposed it wasn't a bad thing.  The kid could use a positive male role model in her life and she doubted Ezekiel's ability to step up in that regard.  Of course, she didn't really know the man, but the two of them had gotten off to an awfully rocky start.

It means to let Stark get too full of himself.  His head will get too big and he won't be able to stand upright anymore, she half-explained with a smirk.  Banner tossed a wry look to Valette and offered a shrug of her shoulders.  She had some decent experience with pups, but she found certain things were just too hard to explain.  Maybe this was one of those things young Steph would learn on her own?  Or she'd just ask Murdock - maybe he'd have better luck.
