Lynxpaw allowed a low purr to rumble up from his chest as the regal feline agreed, his little stump of a tail twitching. "follow me." the young tomcat chuckled, standing up with his chest fur puffed out, proud of his new title. exiting the den, the mistclan apprentice flicked his small tail for the two to follow him, bounding toward the camp entrance.
Jet could tell Echo was worried and decided that, at that very moment, it was not the time to grieve. he had a responsibility, to care for the young bundle of fur, and he would do anything in his power to keep her safe. watching the curious young kit squirm in his jaws, the tomcat huffed slightly and set her back down, nudging her toward the edge of the woods. "stay there." he commanded, his tone sharp and final as the frost white she-kit huffed, sitting where instructed. "Echo, we must take her to camp. we will worry about this," he murmured, gesturing toward syren's corpse with his tail tip, "later." the coal black sharp-claw murmured, his tone empty and lacking any possible emotion.
Styx shook her crown slowly, tail flicking uneasily before beginning to curl around her hind legs. "he wasn't. to be honest, he tried to kill Grim and I as well as the rest of my family." she replied in a stony tone, glancing toward the water once again. "I look just like him. I've done terrible things, just as he had. I can't stop thinking about him." the femmora shuddered, inhaling sharply.
Tigerblaze chuckled gently, "the only reason I had been was because you didn't listen. I don't like hurting others, though I will if I need to." the ginger tabby tomcat explained, watching as the female stepped back over onto the darkclan side of the border.
