Kukutux quickly assented, so Meerkat moved closer to examine the discarded furs, pawing through the pile to locate two in the best condition. While she did that, she kept her good ear cocked toward the two women, listening to their exchange. The talk of other youngsters excited her, naturally, but she did not interrupt. She dragged her two favorite skins from the heap, set them aside, and looked up right when Kukutux addressed her directly again.

-"Yeah! Bronco and me came here about a week ago. We're from Firebirds,"- she rejoined, wondering if she or Toad knew of it. -"We're both training while we're here. He wants to be a guardian and hunter. I'm learning to be an ambassador. My mom says I'll be a good therapist one day too,"- Meerkat added like an afterthought, which her counselor training had become as of late. -"I'm gonna learn more about fighting too."-

She realized she was babbling a bit and laughed at herself. -"Anyway, these skins will make our new den even cozier! We've both been sore a lot,"- Meerkat finished good-naturedly before adding another, -"Thanks!"-
