Owlstar was ready to cut the air with her words, seeing how Dizzybug waltzed in uninvited, but what the cat held made the words grow slack in her throat, air never given to her sharp tongue.

She stared for a moment, battered maw slowly falling in gape whilst a wide smile spread across her maw. She had no words, no meaningful ones. Stars, it was absolutely beautiful. The leader prodded a careful claw at it, her memory faintly lifting to Stormstar. She remembered the smokey she-cat questioning her about the fox skull she'd found on a patrol once, interested in bones just as she was. It was a bittersweet memory, one filled with joy at the finding of a kindred spirit, and the sharp pain of Stormstar's passing.

It made Owlstar still, wracked with grief for longer than she would've liked. Owlstar wasn't one to put up a front, but she also wasn't one to act weak and vulnerable when her clan needed somecat strong. Her sadness was evident in the air, mingling with her joy. Owlstar blinked back tears before looking up at Dizzybug, smiling so wide it hurt her scarred face. She was somewhat glad, glad that she found another cat who shared her passion for the bones of any animal her claws and jaws could tear apart. Dizzybug sure was an odd one, but boy, if this was considered odd, Owlstar didn't mind it.

"Ah chap, whata find!" she chirped, a laugh fringing her words. She wasn't exactly troubled from what might've killed the heron. Those birds were as brittle as they were strong, yet Owlstar had never thought to take it's skull as a trinket. Ha, what an idiot she was. She traced the milky white and red toned surface with a bloodstained claw. "Where'd ya find it, eh? Thank ya."

Dizzybug’s face was suddenly plastered with an excited grin. Owlstar loved their gift! “Found it in Lionsbeach! Quite a find, hm? I think bones are some of the coolest little things. They are, yeah?” he rambled happily. Dizzybug loved bones. And bugs, and funny plants, and- oh, Dizzy just LOVED trinkets. Collecting was the highlight of their day!
Suddenly, they noticed that Owlstar looked.. a bit sad? Well, that just could not do! Sad cats were the WORST!!! BECAUSE THEY WERE SAD!!!
“Y’alright, Owlstar?” he chirped nervously.
