Duskfire Glacier dynasties and dystopia

Not long after receiving the news, Meerkat took a seat near the lake to process. She hadn't been close to Wintersbane or Tzila, yet it was still a horrible shock. Her mind soon turned to the children they'd left behind. As both a coach and a therapist, it was her duty to make herself available to them. Meerkat decided to seek them out right away.

The first trail she found belonged to @Veteran and led her southwest around the lake's "finger" toward the meadow. She expected to follow it toward Bosk Iana but it trailed further south, toward the borders. She went that far and stood ponderously. Perhaps she should call for him and his sister, @Arius and @Ensio too.

Idly, she wondered if they were busy spending time with their visitors from Moonglow. Meerkat had yet to go looking for her own acquaintances from the currently nomadic pack, though finding her own pack's youths was a more urgent priority. Her lips pursed as she continued standing there, deliberating.
