Firefly Glen And what once was a world is a star

His instinct, naturally, was to coddle Meerkat- and to try and rationalize what had happened  but to be honest, it made him upset to see that Atlas had broken his sister's heart. While he could empathize somewhat with Altas having a meltdown- Bronco too had lost a brother- but he would have expected someone in a leadership position to be better about handling themselves in a stressful situation. She looked at the ground as though she was ashamed, and he heaved a heavy sigh. 

Fennec offered her insight, and he was inclined to agree with her. "This is not your fault, Meerk," He said, reaching out to nuzzle the spot between her ears. "He's...Going through a lot right now and sometimes...Wolves just need to get away, and Fennec's right. If someone has to go away for a bit, you can't just...Stop them." He said. He didn't look at Fennec, as it was still hard for him to reckon with her decisions to leave- but in the end, things had worked out, it seemed. She'd had some time away, to herself, and she had come home once she'd been found. He hoped Atlas might do the same- though he would in no way be eager to let Meerkat forgive him so quickly. 

"C'mon, let's..Get somewhere to rest. I need to speak to Antares sometime soon," He said.
