The only similarity to be had between Robinheart and Midnightash is the fact that Willowroot was their mentor. An honorable warrior who raised two very different Riverclanners. Meek and caring Robinheart. Bold and opinionated Midnightash. Both loyal, both with incredible perseverance.
Perhaps it is those traits that draw the tortoiseshell to the young warrior's side as she watches Midnightash prod at a water vole she does not seem keen on eating.
"May I sit with you?" The offer is extended gently. Citrine eyes flicker with sadness for the molly. She knows how Midnightash mourns for Magpiepaw. Robinheart knows the yawning, all encompassing, brutal ache of grief. She survived it somehow - persevered after her mate's death. So similar to Magpiepaw's death. So, so similar.
"I am sorry that you lost a close friend. It's…. Not fair. The river gives us so much, it seems cruel that it is also willing to take from us as well." Her belly knots at the memory of Brookstorm, freshly settled in the medicine den, chest heavy with river water that slowly drowned her in the days following. It must have been painful. Robinheart hopes for Magpiepaw's sake that the river had not prolonged its pain.
