Morningfrost [They / 33 moons / Medicine cat]

Morningfrost glanced over to find Whalepaw watching them, her eyes flickering between them and a mouse, and huffed.
“Well?” they prompted, nodding toward the fresh-kill.
“I’m not your parent. It isn’t up to me whether you can eat.”They shook their head to themself as they returned their attention to their own prey. They’d just bitten into the bunting when Slothpaw’s cry rang out across the camp, and Morningfrost’s morning drowsiness shifted into sharp alertness.
They spit out a feather and lurched to their paws. Though their instinct was to chide Slothpaw for his incoherence, there were far more important things to worry about.
“What? Who? What happened? Whalepaw,” they barked, knowing they were far from fast enough to get from the medicine den to the forest in time,
“fetch as many spiderwebs and nettles as you can carry, then follow our scents. You,” they added to Slothpaw,
“take me to them.”Eaglecall [She / 16 moons / Warrior]

Upon hearing the yowling at the entrance to the camp, Eaglecall’s ears perked up. She was standing in a heartbeat, her paws guiding her by themselves, the hare she’d been eating lying forgotten behind her. She heard Morningfrost’s orders, but for once her thoughts laid beyond her half-sibling; she rushed over to Slothpaw, all but jumping over other cats, still frozen with shock, and fresh-kill.
“Slothpaw!” she said, eyes blown wide.
“What’s going on? It’s Mapletail, right? I can help—I’ll go with you!” She shot a fleeting glance in Morningfrost’s direction, though they were still in the process of limping toward Slothpaw.
