Silverlight Terrace sway my way

Fennec didn’t seem to mind one bit. She indulged Meerkat’s curiosity, the mention of birds making her aware of the cacophony all over again. They really were loud at this time of day. The early bird gets the worm and all that, she mused.

Yeah, she replied. I’ve never even told her. Like I said, I don’t even know why. I don’t think anyone could even tell, unless I told them.

She wasn’t entirely sure why she was telling Fennec about it now, except she supposed it felt like something sisters should do: relate to each other and share secrets. Meerkat didn’t regret telling her and wouldn’t even care if Fen told anyone, though she liked to think it was safe with her.

Anyway, it’s a totally different ballgame for mom. And for you, Meerkat acknowledged as they moseyed along. As I’m sure you can tell, this place is pretty, well… plain. Was that a dad joke? Should we head to the quarry?

Long ago, Meerkat had helped an injured Fennec out of a canyon: the same canyon she had gone on to live in with Mereo. Based on that information alone, she was confident her sister could safely navigate such terrain. But Fen could let her know, one way or the other.
