( ♬ ) the mossy willow has gotten crowded all of a sudden. caraway remembers vaguely a time when it was only two felines curled beneath the roots, then joined by a smaller but no less loved third. for moons they've lived this way, striking off on their own during the day but always returning to the den by nightfall. it is the way of the river, they often say- everything returns on the tide. two became three, and just recently, three became four with the addition of the half drowned kit whom caraway had rescued. it has taken some getting used to, this new crowded space, but cara doesn't think they'd change it for the world.
a soft yawn splits their jaws as they sit, basking in the sun on a low branch of the willow. somewhere nearby, their kid plays, and cara can vaguely see the child out of the corner of their eye. below, somewhere in the reeds and rushes, are the other two of their family. or, perhaps not. from what cara understands, raccoon has been tempted over a border into the clan they have all sworn not to join. they recall the fury buck carried herself with when she stalked back to the den one night, spitting about traitors. they've seen rac since then, but don't quite know how to act. today they've called a meeting of the family, hoping to settle things. a clan would be safer for boar to live in, but they know the child won't go without them.
