As foreign a thought as it was to either of them, Rouge DID have another friend at the mansion.
Rouge had been very stand-offish. More so than usual. She was sad to see Knuckles go, but she couldn't have anticipated how Rouge reacted. She knew they were close, but didn't realize they were THAT close. She was honestly a little worried about Rouge at this point, and she made a point of following her out when she left the mansion. Maybe she was worried she'd try to jump or fly off the edge, or maybe she was just concerned for her well-being, but for whatever reason, she was there, observing for a short while before deciding that maybe this required a more hands-on approach.

"Are you okay?" She asked, walking up to the bat.
