Seal spoke of doing plenty of practice. Meerkat was glad it was going so well. Her daughter really was quite skilled. It was a funny thing, being eclipsed by one’s own child. It made her so proud, it practically ached.

Oh, I’d love to. But first you have to wear it around for a little bit, so it’ll smell like you, Meerkat insisted, eyes aglow.

It made her think of Towhee, who often toted a rather tattered skin around with her. Meerkat was pretty sure it had been a gift from Caracal… no, that wasn’t right. Maybe it had been Jack. Either way, she understood Towhee’s attachment even more now. This skin would be a prized possession.

We’re doing good. It’s still just us, though that suits us just fine, really. We’re on the lookout for a young couple to help out, maybe. But soon enough, we’ll grow the village ourselves. I hope you’re ready to be an older sister in the spring.
