Sun Mote Copse i’ve been waiting here going on a fortnight

She wasn’t far from her bourie when the rain started. Meerkat channeled her namesake as she slithered into the cozy space, then turned around to watch the shower. She hoped it would slow or at least taper, though half an hour passed, then an hour, then…

Finally, it slackened some. The lady of the copse held her breath and burst out of her burrow, making a beeline toward The Taigh. She passed Towhee right before ducking inside. Meerkat nearly bumped into Otter.

Hey! You might want to back up a bit, I’m gonna shake off, she warned, making a shooing motion as she dripped all over the threshold.
