Moonspear I am here

No sooner had she shared the news than Hydra extended the invitation to Toad as well. Meerkat's eyes widened as she looked to the brown she-wolf, awaiting a response. She seemed to consider it a moment and the youth wondered if she would need some time to think it over before deciding. She and Bronco had taken nearly a day to come up with a decision, after all. But Toad was older and wiser, and she seemed assured of her decision as she announced her interest in joining the endeavor too.

"Oh," Meerkat breathed, "awesome!" Even if Toad had decided against coming along, there was no reason to think their relationship would change in any meaningful way. All the same, it was fun to include one's friends in adventures like this, so she was glad to have Toad along too. Meerkat imagined Bronco would also be happy to have her, even if the two of them weren't romantically intended, and already looked forward to telling him the news.

"Can I go tell Bronco?" she wondered, hoping her brother was at the den so she could let him know and then nap, hard.
