Sun Mote Copse I usually break the things that I love

Meerkat hadn’t really known their younger brother well either. Caracal’s death hadn’t impacted her much, except that it made her heart break for their mother and the others who’d lost someone close to them, like Killdeer. That made her wonder where his poor wife and children had ended up.

I know. She paused, then continued heavily, I was hoping Heda and the pups might find their way here or at least to Moonspear, Meerkat murmured, although maybe it’s for the best that she didn’t, anyway. I’m pretty sure mom will never forgive her. She blames Heda for Caracal’s death.

She frowned. Meerkat only felt sympathy for the poor woman. And those poor kids! Her head shook.

If you need to go to him, I understand. I’d love for you to be there for the birth but as long as you hang around for a bit once they actually get here, well… that’s what really matters, Meerkat said, sliding her paw over to squeeze one of Fennec’s.
