Sunbeam Lair one last breath 'til the tears start to wither

heuheu

Fennec had heard Germanicus' call, but not from Mereo. She'd been on her way already to the place Towhee had shown her once - a cave full of strange things. Her dad had been on her mind frequently in the past few weeks, despite her attempts to not worry about it, and she remembered there'd been coyotes in the cave last time. Maybe one of them knew something.

It was a long shot, sure. But those were kind of all she had.

It was an absolute bitch of a climb though, and she'd gotten a way later start than she should have. Fennec had forgotten how long it took her to take this path the last time. Shit. She slid the last few feet down the rise in a tumble of loose shale, winding up scuffed and annoyed (but uninjured) at the cave's entrance. Or, at least, she was pretty sure - she could taste the scent of soil, something that wasn't hugely prevalent in most of the mountains.

Unaware of Meadow as of yet, she made her way carefully, testing each step as she moved towards the earthy source. She might end up spending the night here, actually - and that wouldn't be the worst thing. It would give her time to actually take some samples back home.
