Two cats, related to each other... should never serve in those higher positions together. The only thing that could bring is disharmony... he'd seen it. "...It's alright. I understand... the pain of losing someone you love, it's unbearable." He choked out, before moving to nuzzle the Medicine Cat in a reassuring manner. "But it's nice to know I'm not alone in my grief, Daydream. It's... nice to know she had other cats who will miss her, too."

they felt comforted knowing that they werent alone. sure, russetfur didnt love cricketpaw the same way they did, but they still loved either no matter what. they rested their head on his shoulder. for the first time in awhile they didnt feel so alone anymore. sure they had luckynight or flashpaw, but nothing could relate to the bond they had with geckoleaf or cricketpaw, to find someone that could relate to you on that level, you know? to feel your pain. they probably both looked silly, crying against eachother on such a nice day in camp, but they didnt care, eyeing any cat who dared look at them for too long. "i miss things when they were simple, you know? before everything happened." they commented, starting to calm down as they looked along the clearing. little kits playing with their mothers tail, apprentices gossiping about how could catch prey the best, and so on. they missed that, when they didnt have a care in the world. but thats just life, they guessed, it grew harder and harder as time went on. but they cat cats who could relate to them like russet, and thats all that mattered. that they werent alone. they took a glance at a kit they saw in the clearing, playing around with its siblings with some moss. "when i have kits one day, you gotta stop by to meet them. even if im old and have to adopt them after i retire." they mewed, trying to bring the mood up a little bit. they didnt know how long they woulb be a medicine cat, or how long russet would be alive, but thats what theyw anted in the future.
