Sun Mote Copse Brother Hunter

Lieu asked me to PP Njord, so I thought it made the most sense to nudge this toward a fade. I hope that’s okay!

You’re fine, Meerkat assured Rodyn. Skip is capable of a lot of things but we know he requires extra considerations. And your mindfulness is appreciated, on that note.

Just as he took a seat, Otter appeared with a Nooska rose, perhaps inspired by her parents’ recent vow renewal. It wasn’t the most utilitarian gift, though she nosed her daughter’s cheek with both affection and delight at her thoughtful presentation.

Thank you, Otter. Now, can you fetch your da for me and tell him to meet us at The Taigh? I’ll take that, she added, plucking the rose from the child’s mouth, in exchange for this.

Meerkat shot the trader a grateful glance as she gently dropped the rose at his feet, then collected the otter pelt and swept it over her daughter’s back. The Bairn took off with a squeal of delight, which soon turned into cries of, “Da!”

Please join us at the cottage for some food and fellowship, she insisted. I’ll help you carry whatever you need me to, Meerkat added, readying to accompany their guest to the heart of the copse.
