S'ari scampered along beside Meerkat, her dainty paws light on the sand, like a dancer. She was relieved that her friend was not offended by her explanation, by the fact that she simply couldn't leave the desert anymore. She tilted her head this way and that as she listened. Suri has pups! And a husband! Somehow, this information seemed incongruous. Or perhaps S'ari was projecting--the idea of getting married or having children terrified her. S'ari could not remain free to roam the sands if there were little sunlings who needed her care, she said. No. Best to leave the mothering for others.

She stopped when Meerkat stopped, and glanced in the same direction, though she did not know what her friend was looking at. Missing home? she asked. Coyote hopes she does not steal you away for too long.

When they came upon the cenote and peered down into it, S'ari breathed deeply, a long contented sigh, smelling the greenery and the humidity. Is S'ari the only one who wants to jump in? she mused, grinning at Meerkat. Hmm... Is there a way down, she wonders... One that does not involve jumping? She moved away from the edge and began to look around. One side does not look so steep, but slippery! Shall we risk it, or move on?
