A soft leafbare breeze blew through the camp as the sun rose in the cloudy sky. The air was sharp and biting, but not as cold as it had been the past few weeks. Thankfully, it seemed like the blizzard had passed, and the clan was beginning to recover. Most of the Thunderclanners who had been unfortunate enough to catch whitecough while performing their duties were mended, or well on their way. Palefire was grateful to be among those who had gotten over the illness quickly. Her symptoms had not been as bad as certain others; she recalled seeing Falconheart stumbling around the clearing, eyes glassy and body trembling, while he insisted that he was fine. She fought not to roll her eyes at the memory.
But he, too, seemed to be getting better every day. Though, she had to wonder how he was coping with everything, emotionally. His family had been put through the wringer the past few moons and she knew well enough how hard he could be on himself. She'd seen it, in those rare moments of calm, during Skyclaw's reign of terror. He'd been an odd sort of comfort for her at the time, knowing he was going through the same betrayal she was; perhaps she could be a shoulder for him to lean on now, if he wanted it.
The lynx-point snatched a small sparrow from the freshkill pile as she strode towards the warrior's den, where she saw the pale tabby resting outside. Her head bent to drop the bird at his paws as she reached him, a small smile twitching at the corners of her mouth. "I wanted to make sure you're getting enough to eat. You looked terrible the last time I saw you out here," she goaded with a teasing tone, though concern flickered in her gaze. The young warrior sat gracefully next to him, head cocked slightly as she allowed the silence to stretch betweent them for a moment. There was a lot she wanted to ask him; Was he okay? Was he worried about Squirrelpaw, or Flamestar? Was he excited for his little siblings to graduate? But she held her tongue, not wanting to overwhelm him. Instead she inquired softly, "How're you feeling?"
