Grouse Thicket steel in our veins

The she-wolf said she'd never heard any of those names, though she offered up a tidbit of information about the coastal pack situation. Meerkat met it with a blink. Before she could ask any followup questions, the coyote spoke in turn and her attention shifted to him, snaring when he mentioned the glen.

"Yeah! I know Charles," she replied, even more affably following his kind offer. "I'd really appreciate that, though hopefully I'll find them at the moors." Her brown gaze swung back to the other wolf, still curious about her remark. She hadn't had any reason to doubt the pack's location until this stranger's offhanded comment.

"I'm going to head that way. It was nice meeting you both. Oh, well, I guess we kinda skipped the introductions," Meerkat realized with a pause and a laugh. "I'm Meerkat, from Firefly Glen." She nodded toward Draper as she mentioned the pack by name, her warm brown eyes then wandering between the two of them.
