Redsand Canyon For me to walk away

The more Fennec dwelled on their "conversation" (if you could call it that), the more at least one thing became clear. Trying to handle this on her own wasn't working, and no amount of wishing for everything to just disappear was going to make it happen. She needed help.

If her mom couldn't then no one would be able to. Fennec set herself to loitering around where @Towhee's den was, willing to wait as long as it would take to catch her alone.

She didn't want anyone else listening. Not because she was as afraid of what they'd think, but because she knew her mom would be careful about what made its way back to her son. She couldn't trust the others would have the same consideration.
