Sighing in relief that this wasnt a greater issue the tripod leaned down (but not as down as they once needed to) and rasped a tongue over Wolfhawks head in thanks, purring at him briefly. "Thanks puppy, I know its not fun but its nice to do." Head craning up to look around for the aforementioned family members the hornet mused "Actually there might be more cats, Foxskipper had more relations. Uuuuuuhhh... Sit here with the bodies for a moment, Ill go inform everyone."



Setting down Mudtrot and Foxskippers bodies gently the maine coon padded off across the clearing and inform the family. It wasnt a small number too. Hivepaw, Orangeflower, Spiderpaw, Dragonflycliff, Chasmpaw, Fawnpaw, and Darkwing at least and the hornet was praying they didnt miss anyone. Each got the same words.
"Can I get your time for a moment? Im really sorry to tell you but I just found Foxskipper and Mudtrot passed in the elders den. I promise you it was peaceful and simply old age, and me and Wolfhawk are soon to take the bodies to the rise for the funeral.



The choice is up to you of course, but as their family youve the most right to be there, if you want to come, we'll leave in a moment."


Perhaps it was sudden, to inform these cats their kin was dead and then trying to wrangle them all to the funeral out of camp quickly but it was risky to leave corpses for long. Safer for everyone really to do this now, if they couldnt handle it now Mudhound would tell them where the grave was so they could visit later.


Padding back to Wolfhawk and sighing over how sad this whole thing was the tripod leaned against the medicine cat, cuddling and meowing a low "We'll wait to see who gathers and head out soon while the weather is still good." already tired.

(No post order, gather ifyou want your cat to be there, Ill be moving this along on the 23rd to keep things running)

Spiderpaw's ears lifted when she heard her name called, then panic grabbed her chest. Oh dear. Why would a Hornet be calling for her? Had she done something wrong? Had something happened? And oh stars, had her anxiety been validated. Something devastating happened alright. Spiderpaw's green eyes stretched wide in horror at the lifeless bodies of Foxskipper and Mudtrot. "N-No..." She watched as Orangeblossom's grief overwhelmed her, her own young legs trembling. After the disappearance of her family, Foxskipper had practically served as a father or grandparent figure to her. How could this happen?? Spiderpaw stepped forward shakily, before throwing herself at Foxskipper's other side. Quiet sobs rattling her chest.

The gray feline steadily started to groom his fur. She had never buried a family member, her kin simple vanished over time, but she knew she wanted him to look his best for StarClan. Foxskipper would tolerate nothing less if he were here... She blinked her grief-stricken eyes up at the Hornet. "I...I-I want to...h-help..." She mewed, her normally timid voice simply weak now.
