<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>“I came as soon as– oh, Beholden…” Her cocladist’s shoulder slumped as she trailed off, putting a halt to her pacing so that she could wrap the skunk up in a hug. “Are you okay, my dear?”</p>
|
||||
<p>Despite the stinging of new tears in her eyes, she nodded. “Not particularly, but I am here. How did you know that Motes was overflowing?”</p>
|
||||
<p>A Finger Pointing hesitated frowned, and pulled a letter from her pocket, handing it over to the skunk. “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.”</p>

<p>A Finger Pointing hesitated, frowned, and pulled a letter from her pocket, handing it over to the skunk. “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.”</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. “‘I expect better’!” she muttered darkly, stamping her foot. “Jesus <em>fucking</em> Christ. ‘Grounded in reality’ indeed.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Smiling humorlessly, she nodded toward the letter. “I am assuming that this mention of a letter is what took Motes down.”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Took her down?” Beholden cried, then quickly tamped down the flare of anger, returning the letter to her partner. “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.”</p>
|
||||
<p>A Finger Pointing stiffened for a long few seconds, then nodded. “Did you get her cleaned up?”</p>

<p>A Finger Pointing blanched stiffened for a long few seconds, then nodded. “Did you get her cleaned up?”</p>
|
||||
<p>“Yeah, I brought her to enough to get her to fork into her PJs, but she is out hard right now in bed.”</p>
|
||||
<p>She sighed, shoulders slumping. “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.”</p>
|
||||
<p>Beholden nodded. “What do we do?”</p>
