Fennec was fine to move on from the subject of the changes, mostly because she wasn't sure how much of the reasoning she wanted to reveal. She laughed silently at Towhee's remarks, but it hadn't exactly been that. Germanicus hadn't changed his mind because she made him. He'd changed his mind because the way he saw Mereo had changed. She didn't necessarily want anyone to think less of him for it, but Mereo was no longer a transitory pack, or just a stepping stone to something better.

It'll always be a military, as long as Germanicus is in charge. But it should be home too. She shrugged instinctually, then turned her attention (and ears) to Killdeer.

Visiting Epoch was always how it started, seemed like. Killer said he was happy in Mereo, but she got the sense he wasn't telling her everything - and no way was she prying. She'd answered his questions, but shoving her new relationship down his throat wasn't her style - and being a dad to him wasn't Germanicus'. They'd known each other before she'd even gotten here. Everything about this was weird.

She really hoped any visits would be just that; visits. A part of her doubted it, and that part knew she wouldn't stop him if that was the case. Fennec was probably a terrible mother for preparing ahead of time, but really, better safe than sorry.
