Silverlight Terrace sway my way

Fennec was happy to let the subject die with Meerkat’s final sentiments. She had already hashed her issues out with Towhee and put the subject of her first mateship to rest more than a year ago. The anger wasn’t gone, but the regret was, and that had been the thing poisoning her through the ordeal. Everything got easier when she realized and accepted that nothing she could have possibly done would have ever been enough. She hoped that their mom at least found that much closure.

Small mercy, that Germanicus told me he was in love with someone else before we had kids. I didn’t have to though everything twice. She snorted, then let out a breath and followed the conversation into easier topics.

Well, somewhat easier. I’ve just been staying… around. No real place. It wasn’t a lie. She was loving this conversation with her sister, but after the heavy relationship talk they’d already had, she really didn’t want to get into her and Penn’s dynamic. That was an entire other shitshow of history. One she really needed to take on with Penn, as soon as she figured out what the fuck she wanted the final goal to be. And as soon as she was convinced he wasn’t going to shut her out again.

That’s a really nice offer. Is there a place? Maybe she should. She still didn’t want to put down roots here too firmly, but Meerkat and her family were something stable in her life besides Towhee and Killdeer. A lifeline she could depend on was worth everything to her, and if she carved out a place, she could stay there with @Killdeer. Maybe even invite @Penn, if he didn’t prefer staying alone. He could always say no.

I think I’d really like that. Enough to be a little emotional, actually, at the offer.
