Though quite busy rearing her own trio, Meerkat tried to stop by Chacal’s den every now and again. There wasn’t much time for conversation outside of brief small talk, though she liked to drop off a bite to eat and just generally check on the Tanzanite and her brood whenever she had a chance.

When she approached today, she found the family of five outside, bumbling about beneath the shade of a willow tree just a stone’s throw from the den’s mouth. Meerkat paused, smiling at what she saw. This must be one of their first forays out of doors, judging by the looks of wonder on those four little faces.

Hello, she greeted Chacal and the pups, tail waving as she stepped a bit closer to where the leader lounged. I can keep an eye on them if you need a break, Meerkat offered, taking a seat in the short summer grass.
