She quickly scrambled over to see the condition of the small kitten.

Dewkit looked up at the tom standing over him. His words barely registered within the small kit's brain, but he assumed that he needed to stand. The grey tabby stood, his legs shaky and covered in mud. "I-I c-can w-w-walk," he mewed, his teeth chattering from the cold mud seeping into his fur. The four moon old kit took a few steps forward. "See? I'm fine." He smiled half-heartedly, trying not to dwell on the fact that his whole family was gone. Dewkit shivered again and pressed himself against the tom's legs. He looked up at him. "I'm Dewkit. Where are we going? Is StarClan angry at us? Is that why our territory flooded?" he chattered, questions flooding his mind much like the water flooded ShadowClan's land.

Sunmist managed a small smile as Roseblaze reached him, mentally agreeing with her statement. It was very hard to keep a group of cats together in a mess such as this, and he hoped not too many of his clanmates would be lost. The tom turned down to look at Dewkit as he rose, thankful that he seemed strong enough for walking, if a bit cold. "Nice to meet you, Dewkit. I'm Sunmist. We're going to higher ground so that we'll be safe from the floods," he explained to the kit, glancing over his shoulder to check the water following them. His heart clenched when he realized it was getting closer- and faster. They needed to get moving, so he encouraged the kit to move by pressing his tail into him and taking a few steps forwards.
He took a couple heartbeats to think of a response to the rest of Dewkit's questions. Was Starclan mad at them? He couldn't think of a reason why, but perhaps it was because of the biased views forming in the clan against other cats? It wouldn't make sense to punish the whole clan for it, however, so he decided that must not be the reason. "Of course they're not mad at us, we've done nothing wrong," Sunmist soothed the kit, glancing at Roseblaze to try and gather her opinion on the matter. "It's just been raining too much- sometimes things like this happen, and we just have to bare with it."
