Lost Creek Hollow when the neighbors shout, turn it up some more

Bat didn't consider herself a proper member of the pack; she was more of a freelancer or hireling. Accordingly, she slept near the borders and didn't venture too deep into the territory or for too long. Mostly, she hunted near the fringes or just outside them, then ventured across to make her deposits only to head out again.

After a few days, the loneliness hit her. She really missed @Tegan and wondered if he was back home, quietly seething at her... or possibly convincing himself he really didn't care. But Bat couldn't dwell on him. She'd somehow gotten over her crush, now she just needed to work on developing new friendships and hobbies outside of her favorite Blackthorn. There was more to Bat than being Tegan's sidepiece.

From somewhere near the northern outskirts of the hollow, Bat raised her head and howled, asking if anyone needed a hand with anything. She was happy to be of service, especially if it included having some company.
