Sorry for the wait :c

Neela’s ear flicked up when she heard footsteps approaching her, though the thick scent from the fish stopped her from smelling exactly who it was. Awkwardly Neela twisted her head around, tail wagging slightly when she was Aly approaching. Neela didn’t know the woman that well but Aly had helped her out at a bad time when Neela had been in a bad way so if nothing else, gratitude demanded she be friendly.

Concern flashed into Neela’s eyes when she saw that Aly seemed to still be injured. That Neela could see she had a bandage around her arm and a blanket draped around her shoulders, though the latter seemed more odd than indicative of an injury. Looking at Aly’s injury from an earlier attack by the cougars made Neela aware of her souvenir from the later fight with them. She had stayed out of the actual fighting where possible for obvious reasons so she had gotten away with just a small scratch on her shoulder, which promptly itched as she thought about it causing her to tilt her head and lick it briefly as Aly approached.

Aly’s happy nature lifted Neela’s own spirits somewhat as she took a seat besides her; if the woman was happy and joking then perhaps she wasn’t as badly injured as the bandages suggested. Or being wounded didn’t make her as grumpy as it did Neela, either was possible.

”That’s because it’s tasty” she said brightly in reply, ”Been craving fish, awkward bloody thing as well since it’s pretty much impossible for me to catch it myself right now.” Neela grumped quietly for a second before perking up and reaching around, grabbing the second of the two fish she had retrieved by the tail and dragging it over, ”Salted still tastes nice though, you want one?”
