Falls of the Hinterlands I can't find my way now

Oh, Meerkat acknowledged with a sympathetic frown, I heard about her passing. I’m sorry for your loss, Arrluk.

She chewed the inside of her cheek as she contemplated this additional context. She found it a little sad and strange that his mother—Kukutux, she realized now with certainty—had sent him away following such a tragedy, though Meerkat knew different cultures called for different responses to the loss of a family member.

I’m not sure about your beliefs and traditions, though I like to think there’s an afterlife. Meerkat watched his face carefully for a beat before adding. Maybe the moonbow was a sign from her, though she left its exact interpretation up to him as she turned her gaze back upon the phenomenon.

After a few moments of silence, Meerkat let out a small sigh and admitted, I ought to be getting home. I’ve been under the weather recently and I need to rest up ahead of a trip to Moonspear in the morning. You’re welcome to accompany me back to the copse and even to Moonspear, Arrluk, although she anticipated he would continue his journey. Otherwise, I’d be happy to pass along any messages you’d like.
