private Boy, I want you to be happy ⤜ Ripplestream

[shriketalon]

The medicine cat den wasn't pleasant, they wouldn't claim to have the most sensitive of noses yet the mixture of herbs and flowers sprinkled amongst the ill was enough to upset it. They still set aside time to visit though Shriketalon lowered their head as they bobbed through the sheltered cave entrance. There was a purpose to this visit, to check on Ripplestream, they were still bound to the den. He was conscious, at least to their knowledge anyways. Surely he had heard of everything that's happened in camp, right? They didn't particularly want to be the bearer of such bad news but they would be if they had to.

“Hey Ripper” they slip back once more into the comfort of nicknames as they see their littermate again. It was easy, not that Ripplestream wasn't easy to remember but sometimes they craved for the simpler times they had as kits. They slip by his side, curling up beside the nest he had here, tucking their tail underneath themself. “Lotus and I got our names, I don't know if you were told” maybe he was there and they didn't notice? that wasn't entirely impossible they guess.

“You're looking at Shriketalon now, how cool is that?” They boast, with a wide toothy grin. How could they not when their only other option was to wallow. They could do that just fine in private, yet as they glanced at their littermates face they knew that they probably shouldn't just focus on a singular positive. There was an unspoken weight blanketing them, it would be foolish to act like that it wasn't there.

“How're you feeling? With everything?” They find themself asking in a softer tone, Ripplestream was always kind and they found themself often worrying about said kindness. They really did hope that the recent string of tragedy wouldn't sharpen them too much, Shriketalon knew that he probably hadn't left it unscathed mentally but if outside forces were willing they hoped the mark wasn't too deep in his psyche.
