The Heartwood But now it's like the night is taking sides

"...maybe you didn't get as long there as most of us did..." These words hit a nerve, making her heart twinge poignantly. Meerkat was pretty sure he'd hit the nail on the head there. She'd been so young and eager, she hadn't really given her decision the weight it deserved. It was all catching up to her now, as she grew older and wiser in the ways of the world. Despite her insistence that she didn't intend to leave Moonspear, she began to wonder if she might head back to Firebirds eventually. They hadn't really talked about that, any more than they'd discussed much beyond the relocation itself at the time.

Taking a deep breath, Meerkat refocused on her newer train of thought. -"Did I ever tell you about Nüwu from Yuèlóng? I met her in Firefly Glen a while back, during the rainy season. I think she was homesick, though I didn't know what that was back then. Her pack had to move to avoid flooding. But I bet they're back on their island now, right? I think it'd be fun to visit there sometime. First, I gotta figure out where it is, though..."- Surely someone from Moonspear knew and could point her in the right direction. Most likely, she should consult with one of the leaders about it, to ask if there was any existing relationship between the packs.
