[Mkguild] Felsah's Little School (7/7)

[Alex Green]

Awww! Poor Kuna.  Despite being a fellow meerkat (or possibly because of
it), I hadn't really liked him.  But now with Jessica abusing him like that
(and possibly because he's a child as well), I feel really bad for him.
 Because of that, this was probably my favorite part.

If only he could have run on all fours.  Meerkats can run at over 20 miles
per hour.

With its four relativity long canines, a normal sized meerkat can bite
nearly all the way through a human hand (not through the bone of course).
 I'd be quite afraid to find out what one almost three times as large could
do.

If only you knew Hugo, if only you really knew.

Great story as usual, and now I'm looking forward to Hallan's stories even
more.  I hope his writing is going well.
