Sun Mote Copse There's no peace in quiet

Fennec liked the way her brother's thinking was going, but he didn't take it near far enough.  Maybe Meerkat and Bronco are actually collateral, and one of these days we are goin to have to pay up, Fennec said ominously, then bumped Fig playfully with her side.  

Slowly but surely, talking with her brother nearly always improved Fennec's mood.  If there was one thing she could be grateful for it was that she knew things would never change between them.  It didn't matter how independent either of them got, she knew Fig would never pull a stunt on her like he had.

If you ever want to, you know... talk about stuff again.  Let me know.  I'll try not to be rude until you're done.  Fennec didn't really want to thank him since she didn't really want him to know how bad her mood had been pre him showing up, but she could at least kinda offer him a favor in return.  She probably wouldn't be as good a listener as Rannoch, but hey, she could probably kick whoever's ass he was talking about? So that counted for something.
