For a moment, he just sat there staring at the ground before he shook his head 'no'. Because he wasn't okay. He was the farthest from 'okay' he had ever been and there was nothing that anyone could do for him. The world had proven itself to be as terrifying as his mind originally said it was. Windclan cats were no longer killing each other and he was no longer seeing strange things that shouldn't exist, but that didn't mean they wouldn't come back. Or maybe cats would continue to kill each other. Was there even anyone to trust anymore? A shudder rolled down his spine.

( open !! )

He could say he was rather bitter. The morning was just a reflection of what a bad mood he happened to be in. Dark and dusty clouds loomed heavy with flurries above the clan. It’s exposed and snow beaten exterior held no warmth. It was cold and barren. He gave a gentle flick of his ear, curling his ringed tail around his paws and examining. His first night in the medicine cat den had been a few days back, it was just as cold and unforgiving as the outside world. Mistyfern had been grumpy since their talk- he supposed it didn’t bother him much anymore. He was a grumpy old elder and he’d die soon enough. Judging by the grey on his muzzle he didn’t have long- granted he also didn’t know much about aging and didn’t bother to ask how old he was. He would just hope.

”you messed up” he paused briefly in thought startled by his own voice. It was gravelly and sounded... so foreign. He’d spoken fewer words then the average kit would have in the entirety of his warrior years. He was often quiet unless provoked... strange that he was talking out loud to himself now of all times. When he would’ve naturally had nothing to say. The tom chuckled in slight amusement tossing his head back to stare up in the grey blandness of the clouds. ”you might just be right” with that closing thought in mind he brought himself to his paws, arching his back in an elongated stretch before padding towards the fresh kill pile. Eyes grazing the few options and feathered remains of something that looked like it had been played with. He pawed it aside ”and now my appetite is ruined” put off by the messy meal somebody had thrown carelessly he turned on his heels and popped down onto his stomach.

she looked at him sadly seeing him just sitting there so she sweetly licked his ear then sat next to him

The huge tabby felt a thin smile twitch at her lips as two Clanmates approached her. "Clan hungry. Will feed." She nodded in approval toward the two warriors before looking around, seeking out anyone else that could join them. Bramblebear flicked her ear, claws flexing as sinking into the ground below. "One more. Then go. Need prey. Not enough. Feed Clan." She nodded and waited, not taking notice whether or not her Clanmates understood her.

@hxneysuckle, @BILL.

"Yeah! Will feed!" Leopardflare agreed with a nod and a hollow smile, echoing Bramblebear's manner of speech. His spirits were all that remained to keep him driving forward in the middle of WindClan's crisis of warriors and prey. However, his jubilance faded a little when they needed an extra, and his gaze swept across the ghost town of the clearing. "Are we going to be able to find another?" They could be waiting here for three moons before they located somebody to go with.

"Hey, Coyotesnarl!" Foxpudge called after the medicine cat apprentice, having not missed how he threw half a meal aside. "Why don't you join us? It'd do you some good to get out of camp for once since you haven't done anything for the Clan recently. We can try to look for some herbs for Mistyfern's storage after we catch food."

Smallbear was just about to find his apprentice to do some sort of training. He didn't know what. He just knew Poppypaw needed to be trained. Though at Bramblebear's announcement that she was looking for a hunting patrol he knew what to do. Take Poppypaw hunting. That was a good idea. Though he had to approach the intimidating warrior.
With a deep breath the stubby legged tabby brought himself over to were the three warriors were. "I.. I can join..." He volunteered quietly. "My apprentice will be coming to. Once I, find him..." The cream tabby added lowering his head a bit.

As Foxpudge called to Coyotesnarl, she turned around, her eyes narrowing immediately. Bramblebear stood and walked closer to the Medicine Cat apprentice, her ears flicking in disdain. "Clan starve. Yet waste food," she shook her head, sighing, "Coyote come. Hunt food. Find leaves." Her gaze was focused on him, pupils narrowed and showing that he had no choice in the matter. She would drag the wasteful tom out of the camp if she had to. Other WindClanners could have eaten that prey... and so he would find some more to make up for his waste. Bramblebear was dead-set on it.
Stspping back to her position in the center of the camp, she glanced around once more. In reply to Leopardflare, she flicked her ear. "Plenty Clan. No lazy." As a familiar face came into view, Bramblebear felt a tiny smile curl at her lips. Smallbear would help, and would bring his apprentice. Perfect! She nodded in his direction. "Find apprentice," she ordered simply.
Bramblebear's tail swayed back and forth as she looked to the leader's den- Brightstar was nowhere in sight. Leader not do anything. Clan weak. Clan destroyed. Must build. Must hunt.
Calling out one more time, she tried to see if any more warriors would gather- she wanted as many as she could get, preferably enough to make two or more groups.

Leopardflare looked over his shoulder when Bramblebear and Foxpudge were distracted by the cat he recognized as Coyotesnarl, the medicine cat apprentice. And he had food! Actual food! Not just snow they were pretending was food! But he was throwing it away? Leopardflare's eyes bulged, he gawked. "What are you doing!?" he blurted and darted over to him, gathering the prey to piece it back together gently. "We're all starving and mister fancy fluffs here is tossing away the good stuff?" With a paw, Leopardflare scooped up the discarded kill and essentially flung it into Coyotesnarl's face in an attempt to shove it in his mouth. Impulse was driving him, as was literal hunger. "Eat it! Eat the stupid prey, that's what coyotes do! They eat leftovers." Each sentence was marked by another attempt at stuffing it into his jaws.

A mixture of anger, regret, and sadness swept over the large grey furred cat as he got up and turned to leave the territory. @Blissie Bliss

Snailblossom padded out of the camp to get awah from her clanmates for a while. She hadn't been herself lately and was depressed almost all the tine. Her father was alive again, which she still didn't understand how he was. The black and white tuxedo saw a familiar body, standing in front of her. Snailblossom slowly backed away and tried to keep quiet, but stepped on a twig. The warrior closed her eyes and began to flee forward, running right into him. She fell to the ground and her good eye looked up at him while the other looked down at his paws. "Erm. Hello!", she meowed, her voice shaking.
