Redhawk Caldera picked up a dandelion

She had arrived several days ago, just in time for the caldera to become even more of a madhouse than usual. Meerkat reeled with the rest of them and just tried to be there for her parents. She had come here primarily for Towhee but now @Phox needed all the support he could get. And her mom had @Reyes again. It was a lot but she coped best by focusing on everybody else, trying to bring them some comfort and solace.

Today, she sat outside the large den her mother called the Hobbit Hole, though she didn't understand the reference. She just assumed Towhee had gotten it from @Wraen or something. It was such an incredible space and she was happy the pups had somewhere so comfortable to be born and raised. Although Meerkat's heart remained heavy for a lot of reasons, spring was here and soon her baby brothers and sisters would be here too.

Well, some of them, she thought a little grimly before she gently pushed that thought away and tipped her face toward the March sunshine.
