Firefly Glen But you see, it's not me

That definitely wasn't a real laugh.  Apparently Toad didn't share Fennec's sense of humor (who did?) but she was nonplussed.  Even if Toad told Meerkat Fennec had dinged her for being annoying, the older sister had few doubts Meerkat would laugh it off.  She was just happy to know that the woman didn't have a mean streak, which meant Meerkat had okay taste in the friends she was picking.  The girl was too friendly for her own good, honestly.

A great guy.  Well, swell, good for him then.  Who apparently got himself stabbed on a date?  It must have been a while ago if she was laughing about it and he hadn't come to her, unless he hadn't come to her for some other reason.  Maybe he'd found someone better to patch him up.  She should ask how he was... tell Toad Amelia she was a healer, all that shit.  In another context, on hearing that it was a while ago, she probably would have laughed about it.  Instead, she got to find out that jealousy really wasn't a good look for Fennec.  It was a feeling she had felt often growing up, but never in this variety.

My mistake, then.  Guess he is all that, sounds like a great time.  It was rare she let sarcasm slip into her tone, but this time she actually did.  Obviously a pro hunter and expert romantic if he was able to nab a girl while getting set up by their younger sister and stabbed in the process.  Fuck.  Suddenly she really wasn't feeling this conversation.

If he tries to take you on round two, let me know.  I'll get some herbs ready.  She said, offhand.  But I have to get going.  Nice to meet you, Toad.  Unless the girl stopped her, she'd leave on that note.
