it wasn't val's intention to fall in-step with meerkat's tracks, yet they wound away from the roja den and well beyond the reach. perhaps she was finally getting a chance to stretch her legs or go on the much anticipated walk she mentioned. val found himself trailing a distance after her, mindful of the bears in the hinterlands and thinking they'd be better served in pairs.

if he was lucky, maybe she would want to hunt -- and he could put to ease his guilt for the blunder he'd experienced with her the other day. it seemed today hunting was not on the agenda -- val rounded a drooping willow and there saw and heard meerkat's hunched form.

he felt unspeakably impolite to intrude while she was clearly crying -- but any qualms he had about the matter would have to wait. there was a scream, a crash as something tumbled in the underbrush, and suddenly, there in front of meerkat a lean creature supplanted with eyes the color of cornflower blue.

breathless and quiet on edge, val crept close yet did not intervene.
NEGATIVITY, WE JUST DEAD IT LIKE D-CON.
