Sun Mote Copse When the world went long.

Fig had overlooked the part of her statement where she'd wanted to let them know they had moved. But not even that really convinced him that they ought to go. Bronco wouldn't let Meerkat come visit in this mess. It was too dangerous, and his stepbrother was not a moron. In his mind, Meerkat was just a little thing still. The thought that she was old enough to make her own decisions, and perhaps big enough to go on her own regardless of what anyone told her, didn't occur to him.

He could tell Towhee was agitated, though, so he didn't really want to press the issue. Going with her would have to do, but he still didn't want to go until they spent a little more time looking for Fenn. His ears twitched in that moment--he thought he'd heard something. But as the sound of a distant branch snapping and crashing into the ground overtook his attention, the hope that it had been Fenn screaming FUCK!! was quickly whisked away.

-"Can we do one more round of looking for Fenn first?"- he requested earnestly, and maybe a little stubbornly. Bronco and Meerkat were in no immediate danger that they were aware of, so long as they were smart and remained on their mountain (which he was fairly confident they would). Fennec was lost in the storms with Penn Blackthorn. She needed them far more now.
