private I WILL ALWAYS THINK OF YOU \ graywhisker

[MARBLELEAF]

Ferndance's grief is palpable; her children's, too, has laid over the camp like an impermeable mist. Marblepaw knows her cousins are hurting, but there is another cat she has not checked on yet, one who has lost and lost. She does not come to the elder's den empty-pawed; she claims a vole, fat and inviting and fresh from the oak forest, from the top of the fresh-kill pile and slips toward Graywhisker.

The old tom is lonely — and she cannot imagine just how much so, now that Needledrift is gone. Marblepaw's green eyes are round with sympathy as she nears the grizzled gray elder. She places the bit of fresh-kill near his paws and murmurs, "Hi, Graywhisker. Just coming to check on you. Your joints bothering you any today?"

It's a bit of a foolish question, she supposes, but she is unsure how else to start the conversation. Medicine, she knows — well, at least, she's learning — but she remembers the pools of grief in Needledrift's eyes after losing her daughter, and she is faced, again, with marked helplessness.
