Meerkat’s eyes followed her husband and mother as they exited with promises not to go too far. She smiled at them, tail tapping, though her attention quickly returned to the face she hadn’t realized she’d missed so dearly.

Most names Seal mentioned were familiar in a passing way, the mention of Teya causing a deep pang in her breast. Towhee had told her about Bronco’s fate just the other day. Her brother had died after saving her little girl, who was no longer so little. She swallowed thickly.

Ana? One of Caracal’s and Heda’s? she questioned, brow furrowing in consternation. I was just wondering about all of them the other day… Meerkat said on a sigh.

She didn’t bother speculating as to why one of her late brother’s adopted children might attack this Acrux, though she did reach out and pat one of Seal’s paws in sympathy. That sounded like a fairly serious matter.

How badly was he hurt? Is he going to be alright? she asked.
