Two Rivers Isle the midnight organ fight

If she was surprised by Tegan's voice behind her, reading her mind, Bat didn't show it. "Dunno," she replied with a roll of her shoulder. "We could test it out. I met this wolf who was doing it the other day." She'd probably mentioned it to him in passing, though she couldn't remember off the top of her head. "She started by putting one paw, then another, and sort of testing her weight. If nothing happens, I think it's safe to cross."

She had been looking down at the nearest patch of slick while she spoke but her silver eyes lifted to Tegan's face. "You're heavier than me so I should test it first. If it can't hold me, it definitely won't hold you." Bat didn't want for him to express an opinion on this plan. She took a step forward, her right forepaw dangling in the air for a moment before she gingerly lowered it and, very gradually, put weight on it.
