The big day was finally here. During the night, Meerkat had brought into the world two tiny lives. Everything had gone smoothly, much to everyone's relief. Despite the sense of welcome to rest within the depths of the communal den, Nyssa opted to distance herself.

She didn't go far. Electing to sleep instead, outside at the entrance. Close, but not infringing. She was fond of Meerkat and Njord, touched by the continuous generosity and warmth they exuded. But, she was not part of their immediate family. Meerkat was an expectant mother. Nyssa's instincts urged her to be cautious in such a time, however sweet Meerkat may be. And, she did not want to offend anyone else by accidentally being too close.

During the light of day, a gentle croon from within reached her ears. Tucked safely under one of her forelegs was a fresh hare, should Meerkat have the appetite for it. Nyssa turned, only so the tip of her snout was visible at the entrance of the den. She stayed stationary, save for the gentle thumping of her tail, crooning in quiet elation.
