There was a lot to unpack between the pair of them, though Meerkat couldn't help but stick to this last bit. "I didn't know," she said softly. She remembered vague mentions of the incident itself, yet she'd had no idea how much that cave-in had affected Bronco's entire worldview, apparently. "I'm sorry, that's..." She didn't know what to say or what kind of advice she could even offer for something like a phobia. She drew in a breath and scooted closer, figuring a hug couldn't hurt.
