Heron Lake Plateau Fact or feeling

Whatever the outcome of her foray at Shadewood, Bat's loyalty rested with the Redhawks (with one specific Redhawk—Blackthorn, rather—particularly). After spending a bit more time meandering the wilderness northwest of the plateau, she ventured home, sought out a sleeping @Tegan and slithered alongside him. Bat even insinuated herself partially beneath his head, all without disturbing his slumber.

When she woke a few hours later, Tegan was still asleep. Bat yawned, rose and stretched in the dawn light, watching as her breath streamed from her visibly. She gazed down at her companion, a smile twitching her lips. -You,- she signed, only to realize she didn't know how to make the rest of the signs. Look adorkable, she added mentally.

She scampered away as if fearing retribution, cackling quietly under her breath. Bat did nothing to suppress this quietly maniacal noise when she spotted a black figure headed in the direction of a cache. "Hey!" she shouted, "Fancy seeing you here! Are you on another super secr—" As she talked, she roved nearer to him, and eventually realized he was not actually @Ambrose.
