ThunderClan Leader's Den

[BEAR.]

Wolfhive was silent when he entered Bumba's den, still reeling from the news of Springlight's fate. Notably, he was angry - furious that an owl had taken a cat he cared about. If he'd been out in the territory more, if he'd patrolled, if he had gone with her, maybe---

Maybes meant nothing when it didn't bring back the dead. His claws flexed against the wooden floor, a low growl rumbling in his throat. "Do we know where this thing lives?"

Scarlet still tainted Bumblestar's paws. Blood was usually a trophy, a token of a battle, either won or lost but fought regardless. Not this. She'd have to wash it off in the river later, after she had worked out the route to go with the owl and planned the vigil and calmed herself down.

The others might sit, but Bumblestar remained standing, claws curling into the bark beneath. "I don't know," she rasped. "I think somewhere around the Cove. Her... We didn't find any sign of her. It might be somewhere in the outskirts, if we didn't see her in the Cove. I'd have to go out looking to be sure."

The tripod still felt kinda rattled and shocked on the wake of that announcement, the knowledge that Springlight was just gone now. Mudhound had really liked miss feather-fluff, ironically enough bringing her large owl feathers she'd asked for on several occasions. It just... Seemed so random and cruel even though the maine coon knew this was just how life could be sometimes.


"She's really gone? Like theres no hope at all, at all?" The hope was desperate but deep down resigned already, the large cat drooping as they slunk into Bumblestars nest in a sort of self comfort.

He followed behind Bumblestar and Wolfhive as his name was called. Pawpads scraping against the floor. They got bested, by a damned Owl?? It made his blood boil thinking about it.

"Thing can pick up a whole cat with ease. How do we plan on killin it?" he asked as he walked in. "Owls are...fickle things, we'd have to get it during the day, and keep an eye out at night from what I'm rememberin."

Nightgaze
Thunderclan warrior

Twisting her head around at the sound of a familiar voice, Nightgaze gave a bright grin of greeting as Wolfhive came into her line of sight. "Oh, Hiya, Wolfy! Comin'!" Trotting bouncily after him, a few moments after. She'd kinda guessed what it was about but knew nothing else.

Gaze briefly flitting over the den, she turned her attention to Wolfhive. So Boss had accepted her, huh? Felt surreal. Unexpected, because she had here doubts that Bumblestar would want to reinstate her after she failed last time but seemed she had earned herself a second chance. No way she could let it go to waste. "Really? Wow...I can start as soon as I'm needed! But, sure, guess I do need to learn what's new since I was last one. My head's blank at the moment so no questions right now."

Nightgaze

Unusually solem, Nightgaze silently trailed after the others. The death of the medicine cat had been a horrible shock, it seemed to have left everyone bewildered and upset even her cheerful self. Tail tip flicking softly against the ground, she listned attentively as the talking started.

Not much information on that wicked owl. Still, there had to be something they could do to avenge Springlight's death, to bring comfort to the ones close to her. "Mabye we could lure it out from it's nest, when we find it, with prey or something, and set up an ambush." She suggested, a bit wary about voicing the idea. Could be risky and lose resources in the process...but was it worth it when other cats lives were at stake?
