Moonspear angagixta ☘

-"Me neither!"- Meerkat couldn't help but exclaim, happy to find a kindred spirit among the ranks. She didn't mind trying though. -"Okay!"- she added when Kukutux mentioned she was a healer. The youth had never been significantly ill or injured, though she was clumsy sometimes. And now she lived on a mountain, so it was really only a matter of time before she fell down it...

Toad's questions prompted a light laugh. -"Yes, he's my older brother through my Neema,"- Meerkat answered. By now, she was mindful enough to explain, -"His mom is like my second mom. And we're sore 'cause we're not used to living on slopes. It's hard work just walking around this place!"- She grinned to show she didn't really mind it, even as some part of her brain wondered if Kukutux might know a way to ease the aches and pains until they adjusted, as Hydra assured her they would.

The two adults seemed to be trying to have a conversation around the one with her, however, so Meerkat fell quiet and let them talk among themselves. She wondered why they were tracking foxes but didn't interrupt to ask. And when the next silence fell, she didn't inquire about painkillers either, her young mind having already skipped elsewhere in the interim.

-"We've decided to keep a den in this grove close to Silverspine. These will make it feel a lot more cozy. Would it be okay if I took one and came back for the other? I'm not sure I can carry them both at the same time,"- Meerkat asked Kukutux.
