Mothpaw glances quickly over Softtail, and without a doubt, she could go into labor at any moment. Could be a couple days, could be right this very moment. "She's going to have a big litter, and soon. Very healthy, though not given anything to eat last night doesnt bode well for her strength."
Stormbreeze stifle's his purr. He still cant believe that Softtail has been by his side for this long, and to have their own kits. He looks to Hawkface with a lightened expression. Even under such dire circumstances, he encourages Mothpaw and manages to help him feel like he's doing something right, as if he really is part of the family. "You two help Softtail out. Ill make sure Foxpelt doesnt try anything to hurt you." With that, he pads partway out of the den, then slowly out into the clearing in a defensive stance. The scent of blood and absence of her mate, Crowspot, put him on edge, so Stormbreeze hisses. The clan heeds his warning and backs away a few pawsteps, and Foxstar unsheaths her claws, but he does not yeild.
"Hmph, I dont know what Blacksong saw in a traitor like you. I hate seeing his gift wasted on such an imbecile." Foxstar teased, but Stormbreeze denied her challenge and stood firm and quiet.
Softtail cant know these things, just stop blabbering and send us off already!
