Lost Creek Hollow lemon

Apparently today's patrol would not be a solo one, she had a particularly loud shadow approaching at high speeds!  She turned to face Pike as he galumphed forward out of the brush.  It seemed like they were growing like weeds now.  And that meant that Arbiter could in turn be a bit rougher to them.  And it wasn't like she was gonna dodge.  That'd be totally counter to her as a person.  He was still far too small to shove her much, but with her own wide maw she could certainly lightly nom him and ruffle his fur, in a still reasonably-light play bite.  She let go, then licked the boy's forehead.

It was good that he was taking an interest in things.  Their previous border outing had pretty much soured Spook on the whole thing, seemed like.  What would she do with that child?  Yes you can.  Do you think we'll see anything out there today?  The answer was probably not, but if he really wanted to find something, she could look a bit harder for proper entertainment.
