Sun Mote Copse Sins of my father are heavy

Fennec hadn't sought @Towhee out in a while. It was easy when her mom had been off traveling, but she knew the real reasons went deeper than that. Once again Fennec found herself with very little of her shit together and, finally, she was getting tired of that being the only version of herself anyone in her life ever got to see.

Meerkat's news that her mom had come back injured, however, both gave her a reason to seek her out and neutral terms to talk on. It was a little fucked, maybe, but there was some relief in having something to focus on besides the need to make conversation. Fennec had never been amazing at letting things go and their last conversation still hung in her thoughts. She could never be glad her mom was hurt but she could at least see the silver lining in it, for the first time in a while, giving her an actual job to do.

Mom? You around? Fennec called out near Meerkat and Njord's family den. It wasn't used as much since the kids were more mobile and out and about in the copse, but she assumed that was where Towhee would have stowed away for now. If she was wrong she'd try the lake or the garden next.
