As Snowfire returned to camp, Rabbitfur tagged along on the journey back, to make sure he got there, but ducked beneath a fallen tree near the outskirts of camp as he tasted the scent of vole. He crouched down, blinking the rain from his eyes as the vole skittered towards a small hole a tail-length or so away. Before it could dive down, Rabbitfur pounced on it, sinking his jaws into the tiny body, killing it instantly. He lifted his catch and turned to head further down to start checking the areas. As selfish as it seemed, the warrior would be taking this vole for himself. He hadn't eaten in a while, having been either too busy to eat, or too exhausted. However, he recognized Snowfire's powerful voice just inside camp, calling him. He attempted to determine the tone, but hurried towards the entrance, vole in mouth, and rushed through, nearly slipping on the wet ground.
"Snowfire?" He muffled through the vole before spotting the warrior's white pelt showing from the medicine cat den. Cautiously, the tom approached, but stopped half-way, hearing Rosewing's cries. But they sounded... happy? He walked over and peered into the nursery, seeing two small kits. A warmth he hadn't felt for some time filled him at the sight of them. He hadn't seen her kits yet, so seeing them now, nestled against their mother's fur, was all the more special. The kits were alive. A very rough, choppy purr grumbled in his throat and he gently set the vole down, nosing it towards Rosewing. Thank StarClan. Now the queen could be at ease. He dipped his head to the others inside the den before moving away and heading to the medicine cat den, looking inside. His soaked shaggy pelt bristled first at the sight of Blackstar. Correction: an injured Blackstar. But then his gaze traveled towards Shadowfur and the bristling turned into fluffing. Concern was evident on his face, but he remained where he was. "Where were you?" he asked the dark warrior very quietly. Both anger and relief, as well as embarrassment at his first response to seeing the Tom burned at his pelt, his ears turning red.
