Stone Circle Your brother has returned

Here it came. The inevitable lecture that he...probably deserved. Valette could say Clay didn't look like a girl, but that wouldn't change his looks. It was a mistake, West didn't really mean to criticize Clay's looks, he thought he was a stranger. Though for once it wasn't the scolding he focused on, but what came after. Clay was kidnapped? Wait, you didn't leave because of— me. Leta? The woodland boy couldn't bring himself to admit his thoughts out loud, but it was a relief even if the reasoning was worse.

West's ears fell flat against his skull as he held his tongue. Clay wouldn't even look at him now. Shoot...he felt like an ass now, not that he would admit it, but they had never really gotten along, not like he and Leta or Newt. Maybe he could fix that! Clay was back after all and he knew the land pretty well now. Clay had been gone for a long time, maybe he needed a reintroduction. Uh, well...we could go hunting if you want? Mom's been teaching me a lot and I've gotten pretty good. Maybe I could show you some stuff?
