Firelight’s eyes wandered around camp and spotted a sad-looking cat. A situation like this was always a risk—maybe the cat wants comfort, or maybe they want to be left alone and will snap at you once you draw near. Firelight would take this risk, though; if that cat wanted to be left alone, they’d have gone to somewhere more private than the clearing to cry. She approached the cat. “Are you okay?”

"My kit passed." Emberflame meows.

Darktwist was itching to go on patrol. The camp hairballs were loud and there was always work to be done. He'd prefer a border patrol, where he could kick some intruders ass.

Sprucecrow did that thing when you think back on an argument that you had and came up with better things you could've said.

Mothkit pondered his existence.

Larkpaw grieved for no one in particular.

Cloverpaw padded slowly into the Riverclan camp, her eyes wide, her fur mangled. "Hello?" she mewed, her fur spiking as she noticed how many cats filled the clearing... she had never seen that many cats before. She looked back, wondering if she should run back home.

Beansprout
︶꒦꒷♡꒷꒦︶

Upon seeing a stranger wander into camp — as well as subsequently cursing himself for letting his guard down — Beansprout strutted toward the disheveled cat with purpose. The poor kid looked lost and scared, and he smelled fear as he approached. But a stranger was a stranger. "Hello," the siamese answered smoothly, doing his best to keep this cat near the entrance and not in the middle of the clearing. The less of a disturbance, the better. "Who are you, and what are you doing in RiverClan?" his tone was gentle, yet firm. While he didn’t want to scare this kid away, Beansprout needed to make a point that she wouldn’t get any further than him.

Flintfang hopped around because he's silly.

Cloverpaw stared back, trying to seem a little less scared than she really was. "I'm Cloverpaw." her eyes darted across the clearing. "My m-mother was Quietleap and her mother was Perchwillow. Perchwillow used to be a Riverclan cat but she left because..." she shifted her feet and then continued, "And Quietleap told me to come here. I am a..." Cloverpaw racked her brain, trying to remember the word Quietleap had used. "Loner." She winced softly, hating the name but trying not to let it show. "And I was wondering... if I could join Riverclan."

PIKESTAR

Everything in that moment seemed to move by in a blur, fast and unwavering as he desperately tried to come to terms with the fact that his mentor and the closest thing he had gotten to a respectable father figure in his life was now gone. It seemed like cruel fate, but that was just something he needed to get used to, especially by now, wasn’t it? Tsk. The messed-up part was that he had urged Blizzardwind to retire. He has been more than old enough, and he had done everything he could to help this clan throughout his life. Had any of that not been good enough for a peaceful and quiet retirement? Pikestar's ears flattened with frustration, silently cursing himself for believing such a foolish thing this far into his clan leadership. The whole situation with Briarkit, Silversnow, Fawnlight and everyone else involved in that mess seemed to occur and resolve itself before the oriental longhair could even get a word in. It's not like he could stomach the thought to snap at anyone right now, not while he sat before the dead body of a man who had saved him from an unfair, and abusive kithood. He felt stuck, frozen, glued to the floor by an invisible force. His mother's words would echo in his thoughts. When things get rough, you can't just shut down, and expect the world to wait for you. She was right, and they hated that.

Then came Stonepaw, reacting in such a way that reminded him of Lynxfall. It mirrored the way Fawnlight had reacted to seeing the body of her first warrior mentor. It made Pikestar stand up and step back a little, allowing his sister to go to her apprentice's aid. If it weren't in such morbid circumstances, he would've smiled and focused on the pride he had felt for the dappled molly. She had grown so much, and being the cat that she never had when Stonepaw was her age. Soon, the young tomcat would regain his strength and focus on helping who were, well, still alive. Silversnow was ordered the help Stonepaw with whatever seemed needed, and Pikestar suddenly did't know where to be. Should he try and help Fawnlight prepare Blizzardwind's body? Should he aid Stonepaw along with Silversnow? Gingerfrost had vanished from the scene, surely not wanting to be involved with this any longer. His partial gaze would soon find Indigo and he would force himself to move closer to her. "...Let's get your wounds looked at, yeah?" He said, his voice quiet and fighting back an anxious stutter, "I want to make sure you're all taken care of before..." Before my mentor is buried. Indy and him hardly knew each other, only having one mere interaction before today, but he felt drawn to her even now. Pikestar just wanted to be closer to her for as long as they could before they'd get pulled away by other responsibilities. If only for just a moment.

Apologies for the delay in this, hopefully we can get this moving again.
