Dragoncrest Cliffs Guppy

Meerkat ate as Mireille talked to the pups, smiling into her meal. Her mouth froze along with the rest of her face when the yearling mentioned a name Meerkat had not thought about in quite a long time: Reyes. She said nothing, just drew in a breath and resumed plucking at scales and pin bones after a momentary pause.

Of course, out of all the names she listed, only Mireille’s litter was truly related by blood. Excepting her mother’s former mate, Meerkat was quite glad to consider the rest extended family. In fact, she was thrilled that Mireille so readily accepted her brood into that group. She wondered if and when Loko and Sobo might come around to the idea too.

She finished off the fish and repeated, Thanks for the meal, Mireille. You should tell them more about yourself, Meerkat coaxed, mostly because she wanted to learn more about her husband’s elder daughter, and what life is like for a young wolf in Sapphique.
