Cattail Pond

[ Fireleap - @Moonraven - Fireleap now! ]

Fireleap blushed. "I could um, take a patrol or go by myself to hunt some prey from our territory?" Better not too contradict her leader. Yeah, definitely no.

Coldkit padded towards Podlight, wondering what the warrior had in mind.

With his patrol debriefed on what they were doing, Lionstar limped across the territory to Cattail Pond. Walking still sucked.. and he was irked when he saw Duskstar and Softbriar hadn't made it here.

Hell, Softbriar couldn't even be damned to help an injured Clan-mate in need after they were called out on their behavior. It was making Lionstar wish Flinthead was here-- he at least would've been on top of ThunderClan's well-being!

"Russetstrike, Stingpaw--" he directed two of his companions, "get started on making a temporary nursery. The kits need to be prioritized first. Sunpaw, you can join me and work on building a larger den to house any injured." They didn't need to make a full-on camp, but a few dens to separate and shelter cats would be good. Once they were done, they could make a third den for those who weren't very injured.. keep those who needed space to heal away from extra clutter.

He noticed the WindClan crew but didn't bother thinking much on it: it looked like they were here to help, and if they wanted to volunteer with the den construction, they were welcome to.

If only Duskstar or Softbriar cared enough about these cats to be present in this time of need. He felt like he told them both to be leaders ages ago. "Having fun over there?" he called to her and Buckyboy as he passed by them to collect some reeds from around the pond.

Linnetwing finally made it to Cattail Pond alongside Stoneneedle. The molly couldn't help, but wonder about how long they would be here for. She nearly just came back and already a tragedy had hit. She settled down in a spot. Her paws felt like they were on fire and she was glad to rest. Linnetwing used her tail to beckon him over. "Finally some time to rest my paws. They ache so much.", she meowed.

Turning to Rushingmoor, Skunkblaze was a little put out. The riverclan cats were doing EXACTLY what she had wanted to do with Ivorypaw, and Rushingmoor had gotten all mad when she tried to do it. Trying to calm down, she turned towards him. Could I help the Riverclan cats with the dens? she asked. There's only a few of them, and they might need help. @Beau

“Lionpaw!” Tears were streaming down her cheeks, and Frostpaw almost leaped into the warm fur of her clanmate. She had be worried about, home, since there was only a few cats who had interacted with Frostpaw in a positive way, where she could be worried about them. Like Bristlepelt, Snowsky, Cherrybubble, Lionpaw..... “Your hurt..” She slowly drifted her paws along his tail, pausing when she got to the tip. “Does this hurt? Do you need help? Herbs? Anything?” her mew was growing desperate, and Frostpaw could do little to keep the fear and desperation out of her voice.
Ears pinned against her head, Frostpaw pulled away and went back to glazing over the crowd. She had carefully positioned herself where her paw was lifted up, so it wouldn’t get more hurt, though fire felt like it had embedded itself in it. “Do you know where everyone else is...?”

Lionpaw's eyes widened in surprise when Frostpaw leaped at him, but he easily curled his scorched tail around her and returned the embrace. He hadn't expected such a reaction but it... was sort of nice to know that someone cared for him. "I'm hurt?" Lionpaw meowed in slight exasperation. "You look worse than me! And it does hurt, but just a bit - I'm fine," the golden apprentice attempted to reassure. He looked around the crowd, noting all the different colors of pelts and various scents wrapped into one. There were three clans here right now - three. All but the one that dwelled in shadows. "I'm pretty sure that almost all of us are here," Lionpaw meowed confidently. "Who are you looking for?" he continued calmly yet assertively. He would also have to find a way to get Frostpaw to a medicine cat later, but finding familydefinitely came first.

----Buckbranch----

Buckbranch stiffened in surprise when he felt something brush against his belly and bent his head to look. A wobbly smile touched his muzzle when he saw that is was only Icekit, and very carefully, moved himself so that he was no longer standing over her and in danger of accidentally squashing her. "This is Icekit," he explained. "I'm... not sure where her mother is, or her father, for that matter. An apprentice dropped her at my paws and then took off. The poor thing's deaf." He touched his nose gently to Icekit's ear as an invitation to follow him and Twilightstar before following after the WindClan leader.
At the offer to eat, he settled onto his belly and tucked into the weasel, eyes lighting up in pleasant surprise at the taste, before tearing off another smaller chunk and pushing it over to Icekit. He glanced over at Lionstar as the golden leader passed them and give him a polite nod, then turned back to Twilightstar. "Again, I want to thank you for taking the time to assist us. It was unexpected but, but we appreciate it."

----Stonenettle----

"Sit down, then," he murmured to her. "Chances are we won't get another opportunity to anytime soon." Stonenettle sank to his paws next to her with an exhausted sigh, only just now realizing that his body was shaking; whether it was from fear or adrenaline, he couldn't tell. "Let's hope ShadowClan doesn't decide to get wrapped up in this, too," he grunted. "WindClan and RiverClan is enough help."


----Honeybear----

The permanent queen managed to find a seat in the shade of the reeds with a grateful sigh. Finally, a chance to chill and get away from the smoke, although the smell was still there. She'd just have to deal with that for now.

Rushingmoor blinked when Twilightstar asked him to keep things organized and he nodded. He hadn’t exactly expected Twiggy to turn to him, Mushy, for organization but perhaps she felt that he who organized kidnappings and coups could also organize relief efforts. The warrior nodded and gave Buckbranch a sympathetic smile and another nod before stepping away to let them talk.

The striped warrior took a moment to look over the gathered cats. They would need more than just food. Assuming they would be remaining here until the damage was assessed to their camp and territory, they would need nests and dens- especially if it started raining again. Just as that thought came to him, Lionstar appeared with a few Riverclanners to do just that. He opened his maw to speak when Skunkblaze jumped on him and Rushingmoor frowned.

“I told you to stop because we had yet to secure Buckbranch’s permission to romp around his camp- no matter how make shift this place is it is the resting spot of his clan mates, who’ve been through a lot today, and a place which he is in charge of. Now that we have his ok- yes, you can go assist Lionstar. In fact, I was about to suggest that more than one of us go. Distribute your food and once you have relinquished the last of the prey you carry, come to me. I’ll send you over to Lionstar to help.”

With that, Rushingmoor flicked his tail and walked away, wanting to talk to Lionstar about his clan mates coming to help. He carried his rabbits over to the Riverclan leader and dropped them at his paws with a wave of his tail and a dip of his head.

“Lionstar- Windclan is here to help as well as Riverclan, as you can see. I’ve told the other warriors to drop off food and then come to assist your cats. What is your plan for den construction? Once I send enough cats over to assist your warriors, I can set them to building other dens.”

It wasn’t until after he was finished speaking that Rushingmoor realized that Lionstar wouldn’t know his name. Oh well, it was too late to shove that in now. That was when he caught sight of a cat who didn’t belong. Even among the scents of three clans, he could tell this cat was of none of them. Stiffening, Rushingmoor excused himself from Lionstar for a moment.

“Excuse me for one second.”

The warrior stalked over to the rock where this loner seemed to be... lounging? What was she doing here? Rushingmoor stopped before her and thrashed his tail.

“Hey, you! [ @~Fox~ ] What are you doing here?”

[gs29513]

Skunkblaze was glad that Rushingmoor wasn't going to be to proud, or whatever to accept her suggestion, although it probably had been banging around in his mind. Dropping her rabbit on the ground in front of some of the queens and kits, she bounded over to Rushingmoor and Lionstar's patrol. She stood behind Rushingmoor, but stiffened as he confronted the loner. Her claws unsheathed, she was ready to back him up if need be. He might be a furball sometimes, but he was her clanmate, and he was in charge right now, so she had too. Do you have something for me to do now? the molly asked Rushingmoor. @Beau @BILL.
