Mild surprise flickered in Nightgaze's eyes for a second at Bumblestar's order. Keep an eye on Roaringmoon? Huh...guess they were a real troublemaker. She'd certainly make sure they didn't cause a ruckus along. Simple enough. Oh and tell Wolfy of course "'Kay. I'll make sure they don't step outta line. Is that all?" If all had been told than Nightgaze would get going.
More news, though Wolfhive couldn't call it good. He huffed as he entered Bumba's den. "When was the last time I gave you a good update?" He couldn't remember, beyond maybe talking about Hornets. "Vinepaw snuck out of camp. I followed her to Herondive Hollow.. she'd crossed into ShadowClan territory, met with one of their cat 'n hunted prey." A pause, debating. Wolfhive still wasn't happy with the exile but his belief of no other option remained the same.
"I exiled her for a moon. She's caused a lot of issues in such a short time, defied the lockdown, could've made things with ShadowClan bad. A patrol came shortly after-- er..." He didn't remember Mistlewhisker's name. "The deputy, and that old medicine cat of theirs, I think. They took their kid and I gave them the prey that got hunted, I don't know what side it came from since the scents were so muddied but I wanted to prevent any complaining over it. We got enough to deal with." They might still, but it wasn't like Wolfhive hadn't dealt with the culprit on his end and tried to return what might've been stolen. Hell, with it being squirrels and a mouse it was most likely ThunderClan prey. That was more than they'd get from the fish or rabbits.
The restless kit brought herself out of the nursery, looking at the cats in the clearing. She wants to do something TOO!! Quackkit continued her long journey to the leader's den. Aha! This is where Bumble lived. Surely she wouldn't mind if Quackkit accidentally walks inside. "Bumble Bumbly Bumblestarrrr" Star was leader, but that wouldn't restraint Quackkit at all.
[Chucking Quackkit into this den for no reason if you don't mind]
Bumblestar stepped back into camp just in time to see somebody's unattended baby wander into her den. Ugh. Was the badger skull hanging out front not enough of a deterrent? Maybe she'd find some more gruesome decor to do the trick.
Silently, she trailed after Quackkit, watched her through the lichen curtain, then made a point of making a ton of noise by shoving her way into her den. "Boo."
Pelt prickling in irritation, Hollowpaw stops in front of the leader's den for a moment. "Bumblestar," he calls, tail lashing, "I'm commin' in, got a situation to warn you about." That said, the second he has permission, Hollowpaw enters and starts talking, not wasting time beating around the bush.
"We've got whitecough in the clan - at least, that's what Weepingwillow said it was - I dunno much about it, but the two kits have already been brought to the medicine den, and I sent a patrol out for herbs we don't have. You should probably know the situation," not that this would even need to be a thing when the day came for Hollowpaw to rule the forest. He'd kill all sickness when that day came. He swore he would.
Hollowpaw's sharp tone made Bumblestar sit up, claws in the bark flooring before he had even launched into his explanation. Her expression hardened. One thing after another... had someone cursed them?
"Dammit - alright. Keep the ill isolated from the others, we don't need this spreading any further. Is it just those two, or have you noticed anyone else?"
Drizzlecloud quietly stepped into Bumblestar’s den, pausing where she stood with just her paw inching it’s way inside. “Bumblestar? Can we have a quick chat, just for a moment? That’s all the time I need.”
Wolfhive had called out to him before he disappeared into Bumba's den, taking a seat on the wooden floor. The patrol hadn't ended on a positive note, but Wolfhive wasn't one who liked to wait... besides, regardless of what the future held he thought this was the best choice. They weren't compatible.
