Stone Circle what are you up to these days?

Valette nodded proudly. She could only nod proudly. She liked that her kids were good kids. They were honest and kind to others. Sure, they would do kid stuff and try to explore further than the borders or other silly things but Valette knew it was just things kids did. They didn't see the danger. Valette was surprised to hear the praise. Not that she didn't expect it from Banner but mostly because Valette was rather modest. "Aw, Thank you, Banner."

Valette then let her mouth drop. "Nonsense!," she instantly protested. She didn't want Banner to think that she was lesser than her. "You are just as wonderful, perhaps even more," Valette returned and then lifted her chin a bit. Because she believed in it. She hoped that Banner's way of thinking hadn't been caused by that mate of her that left. "I'm glad to have you as my friend. No, as my best friend," she spoke.
