Tiny let out a little squeak and sat down. "But it's booooooooooring here," she whined. "But, fine. Sooooory." She said, holding her little paws out innocently, but her eyes were shining and she could barley hide a smile. Of course she was going to go out into the world again! Without supervision! It was the best thing Tiny had ever experienced! She wouldn't take this threat seriously, never!“Ok, Tiny,” Acorn said, putting her paw on Tiny’s small and disobedient shoulder and looking her dead in the eyes. Acorn didn’t look most meerkats in the eyes when she was telling them off. If Acorn looked you in the eye, you were in big trouble. “Lately, there’s been a lot of occurrences where you’ve escaped the den. That is wrong. My den, my rules. By escaping, you’ve not only put yourself, but also numerous members of the mob in danger. You are a hazard for our mob. You might feel like you are big enough to go foraging outside, and perhaps you are. But you have just proven yourself to be an irresponsible rat. If you had asked for supervision, with your siblings, then you might receive. I would have thought being in a crocodile’s jaws would teach you enough, but clearly not.”
