Moonspear Riots on the TV

Ah, Meerkat said, recognizing the name, the one with a clouded spirit.

Sialuk had mentioned his strength and temperament as well. Based only on these descriptions, Meerkat thought they might make a good match. They sounded like they might be kindred spirits, anyway.

Then came an offer to run a message to her mother, should Sialuk visit with Glaukos at the canyon again. Meerkat smiled. Towhee might be expecting children of her own, though surely she would love to hear Meerkat’s good news.

She’ll be happy to hear Njord returned. He was gone for a while last summer. We didn’t know what waylaid him so long until after he returned, Meerkat told Sialuk. Anyway, I think she’ll be thrilled that we’re welcoming another litter. I’d love to know how she’s doing too. That visit wasn’t so long ago, yet so much has changed…

But she didn’t want to dwell on that right nor, nor let the weight of her weariness settle on her slim shoulders. Meerkat thought of what else had happened in Sialuk’s absence that she might like to hear about.

Njord and I are on the lookout for a proper ulaq. The first thing I plan to do when we find it is put down that skin you gave us. I’ll let you know when that happens, so you can come and visit.
