Fallen pads - or rather stumbles - into the medicine cats' den with the warriors; then those warriors leave. Which is just fine with him, as he wouldn't do anything to her anyhow. And he's tired of assessing potential threats. "Owls." Is answered slowly, voice solomn. (and he shivers then winces.) Snow drips from his pelt and he shakes it out again, a soft hiss of breath leaving his throat in acknowledgment of his pain.
"I see, i hear, i obey." Is breathed, almost quiet enough to not be heard. This she-cat has given an order, then a suggestion. So, with head bowed low he carefully moves towards the moss he is nudged towards. Carefully the silver cat lowers himself into a very fluffy nest, sheds his red human pelt - keeping it in reach - and then let's out a breath of relief.
She asks a question, one he doesn't have the answer for. Is that okay? Would he be punished? "As you see fit, handler." He speaks slowly, willing her to let him stay - if only for the night. How can he repay her? Everything incurs debts. Would she let him sleep?
But EbonySong said to wake up, surely that means to stay awake. It does feel better, though he hurts, less cold and burning together. "I hurt, handler." Is said softly, he's afraid of rebuke and retribution. "Healer, I mean." His voice is rasping and he doesn't dare to meet the she-cats gaze with his own.

BareStar snorts, shaking the snow from his pelt before it melts and then settles on his nest. "Come now, that rouge is of no consequence. How can one cat take down two large horned owls? And a rabbit! No. Certainly you helped. " Says the prejudiced leader; "the question is, why would you help him when he is nothing to our clan? Why put yourself - and your clanmates in danger from not only the owls, but also this Fallen?" A brief pause, "humility, EbonySong, is nice. But don't let your humbleness keep you from getting what you deserve. "
Orangey eyes blink quickly, "take credit where it is due. You have a reprieve from hunting for tomorrow. I expect great things from you young warrior." And that's a dismissal, as he settles just a smidgen more into his nest. "If it's not too late when PebbleRiver is done treating that loner, send her here. If it is late then I'll see her tomorrow. Send SparrowClaw in. " His long fluffy tail is pulled over his tail. "And tell MossBlossom to keep an eye on that kit."

MossBlossom has carefully divided the feathers from the large own into the single nest in the nursery. It's her own nest, and she is concerned that she'll be rebuked for taking them, but the three kits (including the loner kit) would need them with the storm. They are all just a moon or two old. She curls around them, letting them eat, and then letting them sleep. She however watches the entrance. BareStar would probably be by... and he'd certainly have things to say, should he arrive...
The wind is so cold; she can feel the wind through a few gaps in the walls and roof. She pulls her tail tighter over the kits and pulls the kits even closer. Would the clan survive? Would the kits? It's so cold, and there's so little to eat... she's eaten part of the bird, and shared with the leaders' mate FoxMoon - she's expecting kits.. now that other Queen is sleeping and she's still watching for guests.
