How had things been? Horrible.
"Well, a lot has happened that's for sure.. Pearlpaw was made a warrior not too long ago. As her mother, I couldn't be prouder that she's chosen 'dance' as her suffix. I was afraid my rejection to the kits in their earlier moons might've made them.. Not hate me but dislike me at least."
Well that was a start. Moondancer didn't really know what to say. Three of her kits were missing and her relationship with her mate had gone.. Distant.. But they were recovering at least.
"How about yourself? How is it going with getting out of camp? If you need anyone to go fetch some herbs for you, just say the word dear" She said, trying to get the topic away from the recent moons in her life. She was more interested in Daydream's life as the medicine cat. She had been very surprised and proud when her apprentice had gotten the rank. And she still were as proud. |
Daydream there had to be more, but not everycat wanted to share all of their news, so they didnt push. "Every mother loves their kits, even if they show it in the hardest ways, and i think they knew that all along." daydream commented. how were they doing? also terrible. these past few months had been tiring. from the battles, floods, and so on to recently geckoleaf dying in their damn arms. it stung, everytime they even looked down at their front paws they could remember how sickeningly wet they were from blood that didnt belong to them. but they were managing, they always did, moondancer had taught them how to. they chuckled when moondancer offered to go into the territory, appreciating the memorial sentiment."Im sure ill have flashpaw go get things from now on, im showing her were all the herbs grow in the territory today. our first training session." they never thought theyd have an apprentice, really. they thought theyd be stubborn, but once finding out what flashpaw goes through, similar stuff to themselves, they couldnt help but take her under their wing. they werent even that old, they could go on without an apprentice. but with the stress of loss it was becoming harder to do their job at the moment. things were calming down, or maybe it was the calm before the storm.
