I’ll be next to the prey pile if you want to talk to me again.” He padded to the entrance, giving one more sad look at the Eelkit, then turned back away and moved onwards.

Eelkit only acknowledged his departure with a flick of his ears, still staring at his paws. Yeah, that's what he'd been attempting... Until Dirtfur arrived. But speaking with the former deputy did help, somewhat. Ugh, being dead was just as hard as being alive. No matter what you do, you can't escape the cruelty and bitterness of the world: that was the conclusion Eelkit was starting to see. Granted, there were many good things but, more often than not, the bad outweighed the good. What an afterlife...
