Greatwater Lake dripping in solid gold

With nothing else to capture her attention aside from the pretty views, Meerkat's thoughts turned inward as she pondered her recent ascension into the adult ranks. She was a touch overwhelmed by the idea of outranking so many older wolves, though Meerkat knew she had merits and Osiris had recognized that with her new title. She wondered if Atlas had put in a good word too. It removed some of her misgivings about his own recent promotion, though she still hadn't talked to him about that privately yet...

The appearance of a white figure in the distance snapped her out of her reverie. Straightening a little, her eyes followed the stranger as he came nearer, then made a direct approach. Meerkat rose onto all fours as he closed the distance, her heart skipping a beat when she noticed the color of his eyes. He matched Towhee's description of Kaertok to a "T."

Before she could ask for his name, he asked her a question. Meerkat blinked, then furrowed her brow, trying to concentrate. Did she know that name or description? Something about it struck her as familiar, yet she couldn't place either one. "I'm sorry, I haven't," she said with genuine regret, sucking a breath before adding, "I'm looking for someone too. Two someones, actually. My sister, Fennec, looks like me but with cloudy eyes. She's blind." She paused to see if that elicited any recognition before continuing, "And a white wolf with orange eyes by the name of Kaertok."
