30 Moons PURRKS
Kitty Softpaws T2-Inactive LionHeart
----------------------
An outsider had been here.
Not a pleasant thought.
As Brokenstream said what they would do, Caveclaw nodded.
It would be best to make sure the outsider had fully left.
Future patrols may also have to keep an eye out.
The lykoi-mix would follow Brokenstream as they continued to follow the scent.
As he suspected, eventually the scent did, in fact, stray from the border towards the Twoleg Place. Brokenstream sniffed in annoyance before turning back to his companion. "Looks like they've left. We'll just tell Owltalon to have patrols keep an eye out for them if they come back." He mewed with a flick of his ear. "Let's head back."

"At least it's only one." Caveclaw commented.
It could be worse, but an outsider in the territory was still bad.
Especially if they were marking in their gravesite of all places.
They then nodded when Brokenstream said they should head back. "Yes, the earlier we let her know, the better."
after a lot of searching, the brown warrior managed to find some daisy that wasn't destroyed by the frost. they grabbed the two good flowers there were and headed back to his patrol.

cobwebfern hurt. storm was heavy on her back, and there was blood clotting in her fur. her chest hurt as she inhaled, her eyes stung from crying so much, her heart hurt... from losing her best friend.
' right. whoever wants to... help dig the hole.. can. i'm going to .. stand back. ' her tail flicked as she gently set down stormstar and her gaze sought out berries and wisty and eagles. stars, why was this so hard? she'd lost folks before. it had happened before. this wasn't FAIR.

The cold air was aching in her lungs, but Berryshine seemed to hardly feel it. Tears seemed stuck frozen to her whiskers and cheeks as the breeze carried on by, unrelenting in its chill. Walking in a daze, the small brown molly helped her best friend carry their leader to her final resting place. This all felt surreal, to the point where the medicine cat was half-convinced she'd wake up with a start in her den beside Cobwebfern, thankful it'd all been a dream. But the sharp bite of the frigid weather and the pressing weight on her back kept her grounded in a reality she didn't quite want to stay in.
Helping ease Stormstar to the ground, Berryshine was immediately back at Cobwebfern's side, her thin pelt pressed against the fluffier gray-and-white bengal. While she didn't have much of anything to say, she had something she could do; and that was being there for her best friend and letting the Clan pay their respects. She even began to softly lick some of Cob's fur if she'd let her, quietly grooming out the clumps of blood that had matted together. It was meant to be a comfort and kindness, but it simultaneously acted as a self-soothing action as well, something to keep her busy. Her own pelt bore evidence of Stormstar's blood after inspecting and carrying her, but she didn't mind that at first. Her priority was the she-cat beside her.
As Stagheart entered the Fields and gave her a glance, she met his eyes with dull green discs of her own. But she gave him a nod of acknowledgement; the light brown tabby was strong, an ever-constant reassurance that she had someone looking out for her. He'd been somewhat close with Stormstar as well, and she could just barely detect the flicker of dulled pain in his eyes as he looked at the limp gray form on the ground. It was rare to see much emotion in her adoptive father, and even this brief glimpse spoke to his own grief. But he remained the solid rock that he always was, and part of her was a bit comforted just from watching him start to dig.
Berryshine said nothing as she observed the procession, just silently pressed to Cobwebfern's flank. She didn't move besides the occasional shiver and slowly letting her head drop onto Cob's shoulder.

Stagheart padded in with the slow procession, his eyes fixed on the trembling form of Berryshine as she helped carry Stormstar. His heart ached at the sight. He'd wanted to help, but knew better than to have asked; he had a feeling Cobwebfern would've not appreciated someone trying to interfere with one of the few requests she'd had, which was being able to carry the leader that'd been a sister to her. He could respect that.
The tom held himself strong, through his heart felt dark. His claws felt like they wanted to tear something in rage at the same time. Those coyotes... if he ever caught sight of one of those creatures, he'd be sure to think of Stormstar as he'd tear it to shreds.
As Berry and Cobwebfern slid Stormstar to the ground, he met his adoptive daughter's eyes for a moment. There seemed to be a silent agreement and understanding between them; as much as she'd grown, Stagheart could still detect a bit of pleading in her eyes, as if asking for some strength and reassurance. Something to rely on when she was clearly trying to keep herself together, for Cobwebfern's sake as well as her own. So he simply nodded, holding her usually-bright gaze now dulled with grief. And for just a moment, he let his own eyes soften, trying to meet her there.
And then, it was back to business. He would work and dig in their stead, grateful that the two medics seemed to be stepping back for a moment.
Narrowing his stark gaze, the warrior joined the few Clanmates who'd already started digging. He'd wanted to use his claws for something, right? There was a grim satisfaction in the way his thorn-sharp claws dug into the ground, his movements brisk and determined, a stony look on his face. It wasn't the same satisfaction as ripping apart the creature that had ripped your beloved leader (and friend, of sorts) from you, but it would have to do. He wouldn't let himself stray to the darker parts of his habits again... at least, not around his grieving Clanmates and adoptive kin. Muscles flexed as he dug, pushing through the frozen ground to make sure the space would be ample for Stormstar. It still didn't feel like enough.
