After Lane dealt with her child, Meerkat smiled and said, "Hi, Wayfarer."

But then it was back to business. "Call for Towhee. She's deaf, so someone else might respond. That's fine, you can pass this along to anyone. I just want to tell them where to find me, let them know I'm doing well and that they're more than welcome to come visit. You can tell them I plan to visit them sometime, I'm just not sure when yet.
