Powerplay approved in advance. Sorry it's late! XD I hope you like the name.
Valinta sat in the chair curled up, the small woman's legs easily fitting into the chair with her torso. At first, small twinges of pain had erupted from her fractured thigh when she left it resting, but soon, the glasses of wine that she shared with her best friend, Sky, had dulled them. Valinta made a small murring sound at the thought of wine, and rubbed her thigh in thought.
Though they were silent with each other, Valinta and Sky got the general gist of the other's thoughts through body language and memories of how they acted from the past. Reflecting, looking at the light brown woman across from her, Valinta thought about their friendship, how it had been. A tentative thing, small and frail, but then boosted when Sky had admitted her feelings about Shawchert to Valinta a while ago.
Then Valinta confided her feelings about J'adore to Sky, and their friendship got even stronger. Even when the two of them lost the children that they had, the relationship they had grew stronger and never wavered once. It was amazing how two women who had never known each other before could do that, form a lasting bond, but it happened, nonetheless. Any two women could get along, couldn't they? But three was two much.
A reason that another woman of the pack might not have been there, Orin, besides the fact that she didn't need comfort and solace from another woman, her pups born alive and well. Besides, she had been absent from the pack a few days, hadn't she?
Valinta smiled to herself and then at Sky as the other woman silently got up and poured a glass of wine for herself, and then Valinta, as she thought about Orin. The thoughts of the other woman were pushed aside as she focused intently on her friend, who was, in her opinion, more important.
"So." Valinta started. "We have some catching up to do, don't we?" she finished, half teasingly, half seriously. Yet, despite the teasing nature of the words, the seriousness of them rang through. Valinta tilted her head and sipped her wine, waiting for Sky's eventual response.
