Sun Mote Copse And I'm breaking down, I think I'm breaking down

Fennec prided herself on being a pretty closed book most of the time, but he read her clear as day.  She was absolutely fishing, and what he delivered was near on exactly what she wanted to hear.  A part of her felt guilty, because she enjoyed Eljay's teaching.  And she wasn't sure she'd take them up on it right this moment... but just the option.  The choice.  She had to know there was something else out there, especially now, when she felt slighted and alone and left behind.

There were a whole lot of benefits.  Meerkat was there, and Bronco.  Penn would be PISSED if he ever found out, and wow did she ever love that.  Towhee would be upset, and Phox, and Fig... but obviously the others came to visit.  She could too.  This Kukutux might have more to teach as well, things Eljay couldn't.  Maybe she could even come back and teach him.

She sounds awful boring, but that tracks with Eljay too.  What's nice even got to do with healing?  She asked, but there was definitely a piqued interest there.  Damn.  Maybe sometime, instead of pelt or something, I'll take an introduction... as pre-payment, yknow, for whatever stupid shit you are bound to get into.  She couldn't outright ask, but now, she had something to kind of trade with.  It was still hard to admit, but she knew if she showed up blind and alone they'd probably turn her away on sight.  There was no way any pack would want her, and she would need the chance to at least prove she was worth something to them first.  This was her best shot at that, and if she pulled it off, it meant she'd achieved something huge.  It meant... well.  That she could do it, with or without her family.  She loved them, but she knew she couldn't rely on them forever.
