private EMPTINESS MACHINE // mc meeting!

[cottonsprig]

The snow crunching underpaw is not welcome. Cottonsprig grinds her teeth together, the chilled air digging into her already agitated lungs. Celandinepaw is staying home with the sick and injured, whilst the grey medicine cat perseveres - it is what StarClan would want, is it not? Perhaps she cannot speak with them, but appearances must mean an awful lot, dedication too. Cottonsprig has already resigned from her position to a degree, but that doesn't mean she wishes to slack on her duties.

The once-a-moon gatherings are amongst those duties.

She approaches the Moonstone's cave, eyebrows pinching together when she scents no other cats. The snow dampens the surrounding lands to her already disabled nose, and the wind does much to obscure sound. Cottonsprig dips into the cavern, hoping it is her illness that is clouding her senses, rather than a truly empty meeting. However, as she descends upon the glowing stone, she sees no one, hears no one, scents no one. Her chest rattles, and she can't tell if it's her lungs or her heart.

A painful thought blips through her mind's eye, but the she-cat doesn't dwell on the smugness it holds. Instead, she resigns to wait until the bulk of the storm passes, at least. If the sun is to rise and she is still alone... then so be it.

[Fireflyglow]

The strong winds nearly sends the blind tom-cat over onto his side, the seal point pushing through the snow in an attempt to find his way to Mothermouth. It is with direction from some passerby Warriors of different Clans that permits him his guidance, massive paws touching the cold stone signalling his arrival. It took a bit longer than usual, but Fireflyglow pushes himself into the chilly cave nonetheless.

"Is it.. Only us, Cottonsprig?" Fireflyglow asks softly, his voice deep despite the softened volume. The grief is still buried inside of him, and yet he finds that each day grows easier over time. His eyes are heavy with exhaustion, body pressing up against the walls of the cave as he tries to find feeling in his paws once more.

"I wonder if the weather makes it harder for many to attend this moon.." He wonders aloud, tail tapping the ground in thought. He seats himself beside the WindClan medicine cat, giving her a small, hesitant smile in greeting. He's never liked WindClan. Not after all those moons ago. He was, after all, the type to hold grudges for quite a long time. But since they were stuck here together for now, he would do his best to behave.​
