Sun Mote Copse I build 'em up too high just to watch them fall down

Meerkat’s voice broke through her thoughts and interrupted them, though it wasn’t entirely unwelcome. She’d just been considering if she should head back and check on their mom, though at this point it was more to hover than to do any good. Fennec was trying not to do that if she could help it.

Hey sis. She didn’t manage to summon enthusiasm, but the smile was real, and she turned in the direction of Meerkat’s approach with clear invitation.

It was good to hear her out and getting some fresh air. Fennec almost made a quip about it, but the humor didn’t really hit. It wasn’t like Meerkat was in it alone; she had Njord, and the comment was likely to just be an unfair jab at him. It was strange to think that this was probably her first experience with puppies at this stage where both parents were actually involved.
