It seemed as soon as she was there, @Towhee was gone again.  Fennec had been looking forward to when her adoptive mom woke up, but before she could even see her, the woman had disappeared.  

She probably went back, but what Fennec couldn't sort out was why she hadn't taken her with.  Was she just supposed to stay here now? This wasn't home, and Fig needed her.  It wasn't right.

Fennec stood near the borders, gazing in a direction she felt, from some sense, to be south.  She could go.  She could find them, maybe, and get them out herself.  If Towhee had gotten out that meant there was a way, and her return meant there was probably a way back in.

But she still stood, frozen, staring blindly and listening as a quiet wind whispered by.  She was too afraid of getting lost again.
