Sun Mote Copse the halluci nation

Fennec was unruffled as Meerkat asked what she meant. Fair enough - she’d been trying to be cryptic. There wasn’t much point to it though.

Njord told me about your son. I know how I’d be taking it, so I figured I’d see if you were spiraling too. Unless you don’t want to talk about it. It wasn’t really any of her business, or anything she needed to know. Normally she’d pry anyway, but this was personal and involved family. She wouldn’t push unless it directly involved her too.

She certainly sounded distant. That could mean anything though. Maybe she was hung up on Swordfish, or maybe Otter or Skipjack had decided now was the time to pick up a new vocabulary. With parents it really could be anything.
