Redhawk Caldera Hooooo, giiiirl

Meerkat was too good for her grouchy sister, who was surprised to hear about the bear and the deaths of multiple of Meerkat's packmates. If she wasn't so busy pinning the blame for all of life's misfortunes on her beige sibling's back, she'd feel pretty bad for her. She couldn't imagine how she'd feel if Bronco or Fennec had died fighting the cougar, to say nothing of how terrified she'd been when it got her by the neck.

But Meerkat was a hitching post for Alyx's misery, so she brushed over it. No, she said when her sibling offered her food. She was pretty hungry, but it hurt to swallow. She'd find something later, in any case. I mean why are you here still? You came and shared your news, so why are you still hanging around, hogging all the attention for yourself? Don't you have your own pack for that?
