She didn't speak a name, which Chacal could understand- Meerkat was probably trying to avoid having any comeuppance, but if she was going to express a concern to her leader, she couldn't be quite so vague. It seemed, though, that she understood that there might not be much for her to do- and Chacal was glad she was willing to allow those wolves to have their opinion. She was sensitive, it seemed, much like Etienne who blamed himself for wrongs he did not commit so that he might spare another the grief. 

"I understand why you might be stressed about dis, mon ami,
you care much for bot' Njord an' de pack, Cheri. 
I cannot change de mind of even de ones I love so,
but I t'ink you be doin' de best of what you can do." 

She hoped Meerkat would find that at least somewhat encouraging. 

"I fear Sobo be set in 'is ways," She said. She wasn't afraid to speak her brother's name, as he had not made it secret that he held a grudge. 
"An' I am sorry dat it causes you dismay. 
Dere be not'ing you 'ave done wrong,
He is de one who holds de grudge for so long. 
Perhaps wid time dis may change, 
but 'ow long it will take, I cannot say. 
But please, love, do not let dis change your heart;
love your man, love your children, as you 'ave from de start."

She did not want Meerkat to feel as though this family issue needed to corrupt the family she had with Njord. Those children were, after all, the children of Sapphique and were viewed, then, as family. Blood relations were important, but so were those who had joined them and had proven themselves. Meerkat had sacrificed the home she'd had to come to Sapphique, and had made herself both amenable and useful to the pack. She could have chosen to push Sobo away, but as far as Chacal could see, it was Sobo who was choosing to be distant and unforgiving. 

At first, she thought Meerkat was saying that the whole pack should leave the cliffs- but she realized, soon thereafter, that she was talking more about her own family, than the whole pack. Chacal frowned slightly. She didn't think they would be so overpopulated that any wolves, much less an entire family of them, would need to move in order to avoid crowding...But she assumed perhaps Meerkat simply felt isolated within the place she called home. So, Chacal moved closer, and lifted a saltwater leg to wrap it about Meerkat's shoulders if she would allow, and give her a squeeze. 

"Someday, dis could be a possibility-
But right now, I would rather 'ave you here, wid me." She said, with a soft laugh, reaching to give Meerkat's cheek a sisterly kiss. She aimed not to dismiss Meerkat's feelings, but to make sure she still felt welcomed and wanted in the pack.
