Just as Springpaw was feeling the hauntingly exhausting wave of tiredness wash over her, Bumblestar’s voice had echoed through her ears and thummetted through her veins. Lapis hues shot wide open as they blinked away the haziness that drafted over her gaze, focusing her attention towards the molly as she watched her tiredly crawl up towards the Stormcrest, merely making the dilute feline force back a wince. Why would she call out a meeting when she looked like she hadn’t slept in days? The question pondered and it almost made Springpaw mentally cringe at herself for even bothering to ask the question out in the first place, the tip of her tail twitching against the burdening thoughts that echoed through her mind. Why even ask that of herself when she hadn’t even bothered to give herself a nick of sleep from the past few days. It was entirely something that she didn’t even bother to ask of herself in the first damn place. Of course, a squeaky voice broke through her thoughts as the calico tilted her head downwards to look at her paws, noticing the young molly of Lilackit right in front of her paws. Blinking, the calico quickly gathered her thoughts, trying to memorize why exactly the kit had been in front of her. That was, of course, until the realization hit her like a monsterous train wreck and she gave out a silent sigh.

“Of course, you can go out there, Lilackit,” she explained, tilting her head forward so that she could look at Lilackit more clearly with her deep blue eyes. “Try not to put any pressure on the paw while you are out there. I still have to look it over after this meeting and I’ll try to see what I can do.” The words didn’t feel comforting slipping from her mouth, but she didn’t have any other choice. How else was she espoused to keep Lilackit off that paw without her further worsening the injury? Of course, she could simply just grab a daisy leaf and wrap it around the paw to ease the discomfort, but that could easily break from Lilackit’s energy and it could risk her potentially breaking a bone! That was something that she absolutely didn’t want to risk dealing with at the given moment; especially not with the current state of the clan at the moment. There were already enough cats that suffered grave injuries from the battle and sequential events. A flash of Sorreldust’s mangled face and Dovefluff’s crimson-caked body streaked across her mind, making her breath hitch against her throat; her claws uncontrollably slipping and attentively sinking into the cold, coarse dirt beneath her paws. The hard, bitter pulse of adrenaline was easily rushing away through her system, and her eyes squeezed shut as she pursed her lips against the harsh memories streaking in her mind. She had to keep herself strong. She couldn’t be shown looking like a fool in front of her clanmates. The most that she needed to do was promptly focus on what Bumblestar had to say… even though a small portion of her already knew what the leader could be potentially saying for this abrupt meeting.
