Just as much as Fennec yearned for some kind of friendship, somewhere, she also found herself unable to believe any of it. It was just as likely Meerkat was simply trying to make nice out of some sense of obligation. On some level she despised the feeling, but it also wasn't something she could control at the moment. Trust was pointless until someone actually proved they gave a shit.

You really don't need to do that. I'm not looking to upend your life, or for any kind of support. Killdeer wanted a home near his dad and this is where we ended up. Fennec's ears twitched back. You have a family here. I'm not expecting this to be like the Caldera. I'll be fine, and so will Killer and Penn. The words felt wrong, but she finished them anyway, allowing the last of them to answer her question.

She didn't need anyone worrying about her, or Meerkat suddenly feeling sorry for her and taking up Towhee's mantle of emotional support. She just wanted to be done with everything for a while.
Fenn is blind, and as she's older, will take all of her character insight from tone.  If you are ever uncomfortable with an assumption she makes, please let me know!
