Redhawk Caldera Jet Song

Leave it to Fennec to call bullshit when it was necessary to do so. He hadn't expected her to give much of a damn- but at the same time, he knew that he could always count on her to have either a sarcastic comment or a strongly-worded opinion. Sometimes both, as was the case this time. And she made a good point- Meerkat would never have chosen someone for him to go on a date with that she didn't personally like- and he supposed that Meerkat would generally be drawn toward nice, friendly wolves. He laughed ashamedly, but he wouldn't give her the complete satisfaction of admitting that she was right. "Fair. BUT-" He blurted, only to have her continue, and make a comment about what his type was. He rolled his eyes back so far in his head it was probably audible. "Nice isn't always boring." He objected. She continued, pointing out that Toad was, indeed, not related to him by blood; and truthfully, he'd never considered Figment or Fennec blood, either. But Meerkat? Somehow, it felt like she was. Fennec was right- it was complicated. But he'd also known Fennec and Figment both before Phox and Niamh had become mates- so they'd always been off the 'blood family' list, and had only been added to the 'through-marriage-family' after Phox and Niamh had had kids together. 

So she thought Toad could do better- she probably could. Or, at least, she might do better in finding someone who was a better fit for her. Perhaps it was the age difference (not so significant, but a difference nonetheless) or the circumstances of their meeting, but something simply hadn't fallen into place the way he'd thought it should, if they'd been a match. "She probably does," He admitted with a shrug. He'd give Fennec that one- and didn't bother to comment about the state of his own affairs. He contemplated for a moment, before a wry smile teased his lips. "Y'know, I don't think I'd know what to do if someone was nice to me all the time. I've gotten so used to growing up with you," He said, reaching out to nip at the fur of her cheek, where it curled slightly.
