Tonight is the night. The knowledge feels like a weight upon his soul - like he's gone and swallowed rocks instead of prey (ignoring the fact he hasn't touched prey in days). Shadowy figure shifts about his nest restlessly, eyes staring blankly as his idle paws play with his trinkets and mementos. Memories left behind by those now gone - all except for one. When his eyes fall upon the flower, he's jerking to his paws with a jolt - soft paws carrying him nearly silently from his usual place in the medicine den.
But... he doesn't go very far. Blue eyes search the camp until they land upon a sliver-tinged frame and soften. He weaves around his clanmates, seamlessly avoiding stirring any of those lost in the land of dreams, until he is at her side. Carefully so as to not disturb her rest to much, he crouches low, shuffling his way to squeeze into her nest alongside her - paws tucking beneath his belly and tail wrapping tightly 'round his frame as he curls himself into a ball. He feels small - like a child. He hasn't slept beside his sister since... they were kits, he thinks. Since they slept in the nursery, a pile of bodies who new nothing of the outside world, of what would await them just moons alter. Back when their family had been whole - and not just the two of them.
He watches her for a moment, gaze sad. He could not bring himself to tell her what bluepool had said - and it was supposed to be a secret anyways, he thinks. Come morning - well.. it'll truly be just the two of them. He should feel guilty, but he doesn't He's just.. happy, that they won't have to suffer anymore. Selfish of him he knows - but he always has been, hasn't he? He breathes her scent in deep, settling down, and before he knows it he's drifting off to sleep - a first. When he awakes it is to the dawn sunlight filtering into camp, and the expectation of some very bad news.
