Sun Mote Copse Climbed a mountain and I turned around

Mom had been upset for days and Fennec had been kinda avoiding her.  Not intensely, but a little.  It wasn't like it was hard to do, or even took much effort.  She was upset on her behalf, but she wasn't really sure how to help, and handling her mom's emotions over, well...

She hadn't been jealous at first, when her parents brought up having kids.  She didn't mind the idea of new siblings! And while maybe she didn't feel like she needed them, it seemed like it might be kind of fun.  But then @Towhee had learned she couldn't, and now suddenly everything was about how she couldn't have kids of her own.  But weren't she and @Figment Towhee's?  At some point, it got too hard not to let it get her, at least a little.

Fennec sighed, letting her moodiness settle as she pricked an ear towards the stream.  She wasn't feeling a swim, it was still too cold, and she hadn't gone wandering in weeks.  Maybe she should go try and find a bird or something?  Her hunting score was pretty low, but every so often she could surprise one.

Better than sitting around here, she figured.
