He instantly felt worse when he realized that he had kept Meerkat in the dark about the den collapse, and about the friction that had begun to build up between himself and Fennec. Perhaps if he'd told Meerkat, she might've been able to shed a bit of light on how to fix things...She had a way with making other wolves feel comfortable with opening up, but he'd kept things to himself, and hadn't even mentioned the cave-in. He wondered if she felt hurt by the fact that he'd not told her; everything between them was generally an open book but this...This was something- a major something- that he had kept to himself. 

Fortunately, she didn't seem to pull away from him, even though it had taken him longer than it should have to tell her about what had happened. She moved closer and he found her presence reassuring, and helped him to relax a bit. She was at a loss for words, and he was as well- so he defaulted to trying to use his sense of humour to do something, rather than succumbing to his own incompetence. "I think it means you're gonna hafta be the one to go to our old den, and bring some of the sparkly dust back for me," He said, with a feeble smile.
