Her family was all either gone or didn't care, at least, as far as she knew. But Timberpaw was like family. She closed her eyes, turning her head away. “There's always danger. No one's ever safe. But if she's with the Clan, she's probably as safe as she can get.” her tone was very calm and quiet, but it had a hint of sadness that she tried to hide, but she didn't completely manage to hide it.

Lionpaw looked over and saw the sadness. Something he's been trying to hide for moons. He tried to stand, and finally managed to. He tried to walk and limped, able to finally somewhat walk. "Hey, if we can get past that fire, we might be able to catch up with the clan." he said. "Come on, let's follow the river. It should lead us to the creek, then we go from there."
