Blackfoot Forest What happened?

At the mention of Tambourine, her ears flicked back briefly.  He's doing surprisingly well.  I think at this point he's spent more time without her than .. with her, she admitted with a sad sort of smile.  Pups are resiliant, I'll give them that.  Banner had been one of those resiliant little things once upon a time.  It was a shame that some wolves lost that strength with age.

A scowl crossed her dark brown face when the charcoal female admitted that Stark hadn't been very friendly to her at first.  Please excuse my brother, he's been through quite a lot in the past few months, she said, agitation coloring her voice.  Doesn't give him the right to be a total ass, she mumbled.  Banner sighed loudly and shook her head, returning her bright green gaze to Valette with a rueful smile.  I'm glad he remembered his manners eventually.
