Redhawk Caldera a drop filled with memories

Fen's soft query was met with a nod and a sniffle. "Yeah," Meerkat said thickly, only to suck in a breath and angle her face more toward her sister's. "Did you know... Toad?" she whispered, finding it difficult to say her name without a fresh round of weeping. As her lower lip began to quiver anew, she tried to distract herself by croaking, "Did you know she was our great aunt?"

She tried to remember if she'd ever hung out with the two of them at the same time at the glen. She couldn't remember, though her brain also felt like it was full of static right now. The outright crying had stopped for now, though tears still welled in her eyes and slithered down her pale face, a touch of wet warmth that quickly chilled in the wintry air.
