Had that sinkhole they had moved camps because of gotten her? Swallowing the bile that rose in her throat, the warrior decided to shove all of the doubts down for now at least.
"That's o-okay," she murmured to the apprentice, hoping that the young 'paw didn't feel as though any of this was her fault. Red dawned a comforting smile and a warm glint in her gaze as she shook her head. "I'm sure she's just... o-out patrolling or something. She was always active." Between the two of them, she was the one who would likely be considered much more of the stereotypical warrior - brave, outspoken, a warrior who wouldn't hesitate to step up.
Noticing Lotuspaw's small tear, Redhawk blinked. "...Is everything alright?" she asked the younger cat, now switching gears to focus on her.

Lotuspaw
-----------------
Lotuspaw looks up at the warrior, oh, a tear. She had actually shed a tear, thinking about her loved ones.
"Oh, sorry. It's just, well, everyone I've ever known has either died or went missing during my disappearance. I was gone for over five moons, so it really shouldn't come as a-a su-surprise."
A quiet sob shakes the apprentice, breaking up that last bit of her speech.
"I'm s-sorry if I'm m-making this about-t me, it's just... h-hard."
Lotuspaw's voice trembles, a daunting cloud of depression seems to settle over her head. There's even real rain, oh wait, that's just her crying.
