Re: RiverClan Nursery
Gingerfrost was just… Tired, honestly. He’d been gone for barely one day, and soon upon his return, found out about both Flyfur and Emberpaw’s disappearance. And that around this time? Rather angrily the warrior scoffed, though it was more from being upset than actual anger. He just found it so… Unfair. So very unfair. Why did everyone he cared for have to die? Or- well- he knew his adoptive mother nor apprentice had been declared dead, and he could only hope for their return, but in a way he felt betrayed. It wasn’t like Flyfur had ever promised him that she’d never leave him, but it felt like she had. He’d thought she’d be around for much longer – just like he had thought that of his mother and sister. And look at it all now. He was a kit when they died, and now a little over four seasons later, once again he looses a mother and this time with no idea of what her current state is. And an apprentice too, for that matter. And just the fact that it happened around the same time made it all worse. He didn't want to feel all those weird emotions that came with it, and yet his tiredness seemed to entitle him to it.
With a frown the ginger tom instinctively walked into the nursery. He glanced to where he knew his adoptive mother’s empty nest was, then proceeded to the seasons old nest in the back of the nursery. The one they’d kept unoccupied for so long: his old nest. A brief sign of grief flashed in his eyes as he looked down at the old nest. It was both comfort and pain to look at it but he didn’t want anyone to know. Ignoring any possible stares, Gingerfrost went into the nest, curling up and laying down – and looking mostly unapproachable by that. But instead of facing the wall like he would’ve done, the young warrior was seated in the exact way that he could stare at his adoptive mother’s nest. He was determined on keeping it empty, on saving her spot until she returned to the clan. He didn’t want to believe otherwise. He wasn’t going to let them take someone from him again.
