Sun Mote Copse he went galumphing back

Sugar tilted her head at Fig's warning, offering him a sad, soft smile of understanding. Her older brother had been down in the dumps her entire life; she had never known Eljay to be the happy sort. She knew that he'd lost the love of his life when she was young and dealt with other hardships since. She could only imagine he'd gotten worse since losing their parents, though it made no difference to her. She still loved her brother and wanted to see him while she was here.

It was difficult to see Eljay in his present state, though he came promptly and Sugar moved toward him just as readily, returning his nuzzles. "I just found out about Elwood and Finley," she said quietly against his fur, pressing her face into his neck for a moment before drawing back to look him in the face. It would be strange to offer condolences for their mutual loss or to ask how he was doing, so instead Sugar queried, "Hey, would you like to hear some good news?"

Her black eyes danced over to Fig for a moment and she shot him a grateful look. She would understand if he opted to depart back into the copse now, though she wouldn't mind if he stayed. These weren't exactly the familiar faces she'd come to see today, though they were still a very welcome comfort in these suddenly hard times.
