Dirt. Nose to toes he was covered in dirt mixed with ash and soot from checking out whatever tunnels he could find that weren't completely collapsed or unsafe. There were few and they were far between and it was annoying but he'd found one tunnel so far, one small little glimmer of hope.
A rabbit had found that same hope, had crawled into tunnel since burrow was likely destroyed in the hope that it would be safe from the fires, safe from the cats, and though the former had become true for the creature the latter had been a hope that lasted not long enough. As Mouseflight had entered the tunnel, eyes wide and whiskers moving as he made sure it was packed well and strong enough to not collapse over him he'd found the rabbit and whether it was weak from not eating or had been injured he didn't know but instead of fighting or trying to run it had seemed to accepted it's fate.
So now he walk into camp, ash and soot coated with flecks of dirt clinging to ears too large for his head as a dead rabbit, thin and weak hang from jaws before it landed with a soft thud where prey was kept and quietly he'd move to sit and clean the mess from paws that would soon be dirt-covered once more.
