Jet noticed the smile and returned a broken one of his own, not quite being able to produce one at that time. hearing her speak, the coal black tomcat nodded quickly then gazed about the house. "we should return later tonight. I don't want any scavengers coming to pick her apart." he murmured quietly to Echo before venturing toward Ariska, staring down at her odd little eyes. this was definitely his sister's daughter, and he would put his broken heart and soul into caring for her, no matter the cost. "come along, Aris, let's get you to your new home. soon enough, you'll even have little kits to play with aside from Lily." he purred, though it wasn't easy to detect something was wrong. Ariska simply looked up at him as he grabbed her scruff, sighing heavily. "she's dead, isn't she?" the young she-kit asked, her odd eyes squeezing shut.
Styx listened to her mate speak, noticing the look of hurt flashing across his face. he really did care for her, which surprised her. she had been ready to kill anyone, anything she needed to for her own survival at the time of her recruitment into Darkclan, and the tune was still the same even as a leader. "Wolf, you have no idea what you are talking about. he lead a group of strays, at the top of the pedestal back where we had lived. he had met my mother, had a litter of kits, then killed her so he would simply have his heirs. he did it in front of us. then he did the same thing with another she-cat, just to keep his stupid bloodline going!" she spat, feeling her claws unsheathe. "when we didn't listen, he turned on us too." the female added, slowly laying down.
Tigerblaze chuckled, "It'll be fine. we shouldn't get into any trouble for simply speaking to one another." he replied calmly, watching the female curiously.
Lynxpaw slowed his pace for a mere few moments to allow them time to catch up, grinning as the two then emerged from the den and began to follow. "onward!" the tomcat laughed, breaking into a quick sprint. after a good five minutes, the trio had arrived at the den. "one second!" he chirped, crawling into the den to wake up Letty.
