Her smile wavered as soon as she locked eyes with the tom, sensing the utter despair and pain that was swarming within him like a restless swarm of bees. It was a feeling she knew far too well. It was the feeling of loneliness; a vast emptiness that affected not only one but many. A heavy longing for the ones that someone who was loved but never ceased to come back. Springpaw knew that feeling far too well. She had experienced it more than once with almost everyone in her family disappearing without a trace; her siblings being the most vulnerable to her emotional well-being. Her former mentor being close in behind them, and then everything else that she had witnessed at such a young age. Her heart twisted and knotted as if her emotions began to buckle into a state of no return, her lips pursing briefly as if to try to surpass the weight of her old emotions back as she focused onto the tired, sleep-deprived tom-cat right in front of her. It wasn’t hard to read his expression; he was tired and needed someone to speak with. Something that she knew far too well.

“I know… how you feel… Yarrowcrest,” Springpaw stated, her voice slow as her tone remained steady as she formulated the words to speak with the bicolored tom-cat in front of her. “I know it’s… not a… good time… to speak about it… but I will… gladly listen.. to what you… need to say… during our… stroll… in Haggard Ruins… okay?” Her blue eyes lit up as she focused her attention back up towards Yarrowcrest once more, in silent hope that her message came across to him. She knew the agony of losing almost everyone you love. She knew the pain of what it was like to have almost everything taken away just by the swipe of a paw. She knew what it was like and it hurt like absolute hell. “But… to answer… your question… or so… I would… suppose is… a question… we can… both go there… and I can… tell you… what… the storage needs… therefore… it can… help rejuvenate… the herb storage.”
