Stone Circle Sing me a song of sorrow, love

After spending some time with Easy, Steph parted from her in search of Sunny. Easy had told her he was visiting Keoni, and so the first place she wanted to look was Stone Circle. Her tail wagged in anticipation of seeing him, remembering the fun times they had in the past. His voice reached her ears, and she almost darted to greet him. But, the sorrow in his voice stopped her in her tracks.

She frowned, her tail dropping as her ears perked, and she listened to him. Her own eyes filled with tears as she felt his pain. It was hard not to. Slowly, she closed the distance between them, nosing his shoulder. It wouldn't have, she said softly as she lowered her body beside him. We think she was testing new herbs, and ate a bad one. No one was able to come up with anything different. She had no injuries to the outside of her body, and they didn't think she had been attacked by anything. I wonder if she can hear us... I hope she hears you. I think she'd be happy to know. She kept her voice soft as she spoke, hoping he words wouldn't upset him.
