"Ugh, you smell like a wet dog," you mention as Lottie crawls into bed with you. You push her off and she whines, standing with her tail between her legs as you keep her from smothering the bed with that smell. "Go take a shower first. What did you even do?"

"Got distracted and may have been playing in a puddle on the way home." she frowns, looking down in shame. She couldn't help it; her wolf reflection was taunting her as she stared at the water and she tried to bite it and got too carried away after a short night of hunting. "But I brought you something back!"

She digs in her pockets and fishes out small animal bones tied together in a piece of yarn, resembling a bracelet. "I made it on the way home. That's why I took longer than usual."
