Sun Mote Copse The thing about kinked tail

"Meerkat does not belong to you either, Towhee," Wraen said, though it was difficult to keep her calm in the face of being yelled at and unjustly accused. She felt like being in the middle of a childish feud and what she hated the most was that it involved the unresolved personal matters of two other people. She did not wish to take sides or teach either Towhee or Pippin, how to live their lives. She just did not wish this seed of discontent grow and flourish. 

"She is her own person," she added, looked away and let out a deep sigh. This was getting ridiculous and she regretted even getting involved. "I think that you need to talk with Pippin again. Calmly," she said, looking at Towhee, pleading her to listen. "It is clear that some things have got lost in translation and even if... in fact, it is not about, who Meerkat's true father is or anything of the like. It does not matter, but you two need to understand, where you stand. 

You were very good friends, when he joined, and you are hostile to each other now," Wraen summarized. "I know you will tell me that all is clear and it is his fault and no business of mine, but, if you do not solve this, it will hurt Meerkat even more in the long-term than you can imagine."
