Sun Mote Copse bedtime stories

Meerkat couldn't argue with the nickname; she could be quite smelly, which she enjoyed. Before she could respond to her dad's greeting, someone appeared in the nearby den's entrance. A squint and a sniff told her that it was one of the twins: Alyx.

-"Yo!"- the pale pup greeted, pulling the slang from who-knew-where, even as Alyx stumbled into her flank. Meerkat chuckled and struck out a paw to steady the bumbling baby. -"HI!"- she echoed the childish greeting, momentarily forgetting to watch her volume.

Phox was saying something about stories, so Meerkat turned her attention back to her pops. He mentioned constellations, or groups of stars, and Meerkat naturally glanced upward for a moment before giving the ptero equivalent of two thumbs up.
