KIND REGARDS // gone


☀ - WHILST MY HEART STILL BEATS
His wounds had healed. No further assaults came from Sootstar's remaining followers. All was peaceful, and there was no further need for him to remain. Where some from the barn had been permitted to stay thanks to their efforts in helping WindClan he knew that the extension did not reach out to him. Suspicion remained, a black cloud left by his past actions, something that would not go away. As much as he wished to dream of spending his final days living in the clan he knew that it could not be. WindClan could not risk ThunderClan's ire, and he could not bear being watched with suspicion every waking moment.

The tom had slipped out before the crack of dawn in order to hunt, and after successfully catching a mouse he returned it to the camp as a final parting gift. It wasn't much, nothing like bringing in a rabbit or a pheasant, but such animals were simply too fast for him out on the open moors. With the prey left for the first cats of the day to find he then took his leave. He raced across the territory in the direction of the barn, the only place he could think to go.

Maybe one day they would cross paths, if any WindClanner paid the horseplace a visit that is. Ultimately he wished them well, and he prayed that Sunstar would serve the clan well as it journeyed free from Sootstar's shadow.

Reactions: SUNNVAR
──ᨒ↟↟ᨒ↟ᨒ↟↟ᨒ── Truth be told, Wolfsong does not immediately notice Sunnyday's absence; it is only when he selects a mouse from the freshkill pile that he scents the warrior on it, and realizes he has not actually seen his pelt among any of the warriors. He frowns slightly, his paw resting on the mouse, and wonders whether this was discussed with Sunstar— or perhaps Sunnyday knew where the wind was blowing and chose to remain ahead of its bite. He will have to ask his mate to be sure, but Wolfsong is reluctant to discuss clan business when they are curled in their nest, given how much of it swallows up Sunstar's time.

He will not claim to be fond of Sunnyday, as he did not know him much at all, and his reputation in ThunderClan is not particularly bright. Even so, he appreciates what support was given to Sunstar; every warrior was necessary in that upward battle, and that Sunnyday thought to offer prey before his departure is a respectable token.

Of course, it is possible Sunnyday is still within WindClan, and Wolfsong has entertained the possibility of his absence prematurely. Still standing with the mouse, he asks the closest clanmate, "Have you seen Sunnyday?"

WOLFSONG of WINDCLAN FORMER ROGUE TURNED MEDICINE CAT. 41 MOONS, HE/HIM, NPC X NPC. MATES WITH SUNSTRIDE (07/05/2023). BIOGRAPHY, PINTEREST, & PLAYLIST.
  • ★★★☆☆ WOUNDS: You're (mostly) in safe paws. You'll know if he's less experienced if he asks for your permission to try a treatment. No wound can scare him away from knowledge.
    ★★★☆☆ INFECTION: He can prevent most infections. If you feel feverish, let him know; he'll hum thoughtfully over herbs and sniff your wound before saying, "With your blessing..."
  • ★☆☆☆☆ ACHES & PAINS: If you complain to him of pain, he'll ask where. If it's a headache, you'll likely feel a bit better. For anything else, "Try this, if you'd like, and tell me how you feel."
    ★☆☆☆☆ BROKEN BONES: At best. he can ask you to remain lying down in the den. He may try to distract you with conversation while he considers what herb to feed you.
  • ★★★★★ TRAVELING HERBS: Going somewhere? No worries; Wolfsong knows just what you need to stay hale and healthy during your journey. The rest is up to you.
    ★★★☆☆ KITTING: Thanks to Starlingheart and his own pregnancy, he's better prepared for the arrival of kits, but any complications will need a little faith and a lot of luck.
  • ★☆☆☆☆ POISONS: It's best if you avoid eating anything unfamiliar to you— it's probably just as unfamiliar to Wolfsong. The best he can do is offer you yarrow and sit with you.
    ★★☆☆☆ ILLNESS: If it's white or greencough, you'll likely recover. Otherwise, prepare for odd concoctions and the usual request that you consent to a little trial-and-error.
 
AS HE RAISED HIS FIST BEFORE HE SPOKE — There was a certain sadness, in becoming aware of Sunnyday's absence. In spite of the former Thunderclan warrior's shortcomings, he had fought valiantly alongside them to take back their camp from Sootstar and her cruel loyalists. Rattleheart likely would've never trusted him with an apprentice of his own - and would have said as much to Sunstar - but nor did they immediately wish to condemn him. Though, as time had passed, it had become painfully clear that no good news had come from the Thunderclan front. A somewhat unsurprising revelation, considering all that Howlingstar had once said about the unofficial exile.

Their ears twitched in response to the soft questioning of Wolfsong nearby, looking towards the mouse that hung from his jaws and carried the rapidly staling scent of Sunnyday on it. "Sunnyday...? No, I haven't seen him in some time. I checked on him after the battle, but I've been so busy that I hadn't checked back in." Their ringed tail twitched anxiously back and forth behind them, eventually curling tightly around their paws as they looked towards the leader's den. "I believe he wanted to speak with Sunstar at some point about staying. Maybe he already did...?" Though it seemed unlikely that Wolfsong wouldn't know about such a conversation, unless it had just happened. Then again, there was a chance that Sunstar wanted to keep his leader duties and personal life separate - wanting his time with his mate to be an escape from his responsibilities.

Rattleheart wouldn't blame him if that was the case, considering they rarely discussed their own lead warrior duties with Venomstrike. Mainly for his benefit, as they didn't want to share the stresses of their work with their love.
