It may come off as rude, but oh well. Normally they wouldve just kept ut of this but they couldnt. They knew Cricketpaw was Russetstars daughter and he had a right to know that Daypaw saw her. And could tell him that she was fine and well. The thoughts of the flood came back to them. The water in their lungs. The coldness. Seeing Cricketpaw. Her reaching out her paw to save them. While Cricketpaw saved them they still took a major hit from the fall, herbs plastered to the sides of their body which was concerning skinny, water still dripped from their mouth from time to time from left over water. They put that aside for now. Amber hues scanned the den for the spotted leader. Once seeing him it took them a moment to say anything. Cricketpaw looked just like him.
¨Russetstar, can I speak to you?¨

All of this activity had been taking a toll on Russetstar's ability to lead- ShadowClan was staying in their camp and their territory, and though he felt like he'd made the right desicion, it still seemed like too much. It had been moons and he still wasn't able to get over his own daughter's death, and now this- it just worried him. Is StarClan angry with me for something? Why has everything seemed to go south? Out of all the clans, it had to be ShadowClan. He never hated them, but he could tell Halestar wasn't their biggest fan- and yet she came to him in a time of such need. Taking in a ragged breath as he lay down to himself in the leader's den, his ears perked up at the rusting sound of footsteps just outside. Taking a moment to register the stranger, he soon recognized the cat as ShadowClan's resident healer- Daypaw.
"...Yes, please, go ahead." He murmured softly, his voice strained from all he worrying he'd been doing recently. Aren't they... weren't they her friend? Cricketpaw.
