As she did not seem to celebrate right away, Chacal suspected that Meerkat had more concerns, and she had figure that at some point, the two might talk about those concerns. Chacal did not pry into the family's business, and while she did take her brother's concerns seriously, she chose to go by her own feelings. She did not know the circumstances that had led to Njord's extended absence but from what she could gather, it had not been intended. The sea would give and take as it pleased; part of the reason that typically, the women of Sapphique relied on each other for child support than a husband. Men were wont to wander, it seemed; and the sea found them to be easy targets. 

She felt lightly ruffled by Meerkat's suggestion at first, as though she was asking if the land might be exhausted from their presence following the birth of more children. Chacal was very attached to her home, and did not believe such a problem would arise from a place that had always been so hospitable, despite the temperamental weather. But, it wasn't a bad question. Chacal took the insight after a moment, thoughtfully, and tilted her head from side as though weighing the idea. 

"Per'aps. But I see no 'arm in making Sapphique strong. 
Dragoncrest Cliffs 'as been our homelands for so long.
If we need to expand our land, dat be something we can do,
but dat be many months in de future; don't let it worry you." 

She smiled softly. Meerkat was a thoughtful packmate, who seemed to keep the wellfare of the entire pack in mind, which was definitely appreciated. It was appreciated that she voiced her concerns openly, rather than allowing them to stew. While she was not blood, she was family, and her input was valued. 

What she said next was something Chacal had anticipated as a conversation. First, though, she sought clarity. "When you say 'not everyone,' who be it you mean?" She asked quietly. Sobo, she knew, was not welcoming of Njord, and that was a grudge that seemed to stick regardless of what Njord tried to do. His prolonged absence had done nothing to better his son's impression. But if there were others who were treating Njord unjustly, she wished to know.
