<p>Quelling her shame, she straightened herself up as best she could, deciding not to fork away the mussed up fur or tear-stains on her cheeks, letting some of that trauma show for reasons she could not explain, and stepped back out of her studio to find A Finger Pointing pacing back and forth in the living room.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I came as soon as oh, Beholden&hellip;&rdquo; Her cocladist&rsquo;s shoulder slumped as she trailed off, putting a halt to her pacing so that she could wrap the skunk up in a hug. &ldquo;Are you okay, my dear?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Despite the stinging of new tears in her eyes, she nodded. &ldquo;Not particularly, but I am here. How did you know that Motes was overflowing?&rdquo;</p>
<p>A Finger Pointing hesitated frowned, and pulled a letter from her pocket, handing it over to the skunk. &ldquo;This. I did not <em>know</em> that Dot was overflowing until I got here and saw her door shut tight. I was not at all surprised when you told me.&rdquo;</p>
<p>A Finger Pointing hesitated, frowned, and pulled a letter from her pocket, handing it over to the skunk. &ldquo;This. I did not <em>know</em> that Dot was overflowing until I got here and saw her door shut tight. I was not at all surprised when you told me.&rdquo;</p>
<p>As Beholden read through the letter, her lips curled up into a snarl, and she could feel a low growl build in her chest. &ldquo;&lsquo;I expect better&rsquo;!&rdquo; she muttered darkly, stamping her foot. &ldquo;Jesus <em>fucking</em> Christ. &lsquo;Grounded in reality&rsquo; indeed.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Smiling humorlessly, she nodded toward the letter. &ldquo;I am assuming that this mention of a letter is what took Motes down.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Took her down?&rdquo; Beholden cried, then quickly tamped down the flare of anger, returning the letter to her partner. &ldquo;She was covered in blood when I checked on her. Someone must have hit her hard enough to give her a bloody nose. She was all scraped up.&rdquo;</p>
<p>A Finger Pointing stiffened for a long few seconds, then nodded. &ldquo;Did you get her cleaned up?&rdquo;</p>
<p>A Finger Pointing blanched stiffened for a long few seconds, then nodded. &ldquo;Did you get her cleaned up?&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Yeah, I brought her to enough to get her to fork into her PJs, but she is out hard right now in bed.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She sighed, shoulders slumping. &ldquo;Thank you, my love. I had assumed the last bit, at least, and have left her be. I did not wish to add to her stress at the moment.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Beholden nodded. &ldquo;What do we do?&rdquo;</p>
