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

He’s blind? That was complete news to Fennec, though she wondered how Meerkat could know that. He seemed a little clumsy, sure, but blindness was something else entirely.

I could see, at first. I think the same way anyone can, though it’s been a long time. It’s something he’s going to have to figure out himself. She couldn’t imagine anyone enjoying being dependent. Her family had tried when she was growing up, and she’d appreciated it at the time, but then she’d wound up lost and without them and unable to take care of herself.

I guess, one tip, make sure he knows how to find the things he needs as early as you can. Food, water, safer places. I lucked out the first time I got lost but if I hadn’t, I wouldn’t be here. It’ll make everyone feel better if he’s prepared for it. Trust me. It had been a hard transition point for her, realizing how terrified she was of losing her family and ending up alone and defenseless. If she could spare her nephew that particular grief then she’d consider it a job well done.
