Swiftcurrent Creek hidden in the footnotes

My thread with Atticus hasn't even begun to play out yet, so I'm going to be weirdly vague about it...

The youth's visit to the plateau had preoccupied her so completely that Bones woke up one morning on the cusp of April and realized nearly two weeks had passed in a blur. She'd scarcely participated in the creek's goings-on since discovering Atticus's whereabouts! Suddenly anxious that Fox might think she'd abandoned ship, she pushed thoughts of her father out of her head and set out along the creek in search of the pack's captain. She would tell Cap'n Fox about locating her dad and reassure the little red wolf that she had no intention of departing the creek, at least for now.

Instead of Fox, she crossed paths with a white-furred stranger. "Ahoy!" she called to grab the other wolf's attention, her gangly legs carrying her closer to the pale female. "Me name's Bones! Who're you?" For the moment, she didn't take notice of the bloated, decaying corpse just beyond the white wolf's shoulder.
