She'd sent out a pair of eyes as frequently as she could afford... to assess the status of their down-wind camp and the fields beyond that had grown oversaturated by water. The river had been hungry, selfish... stealing away most of their land for far too long. Trying to keep it kept under wraps was difficult when the streams themselves curled around their neighbors like a dripping embrace. She's certain they could tell, if they thought hard enough, that the plains had flooded, that their many deaths had been a result of sudden, rampant flooding. If any of them suspected such, they'd had the forethought not to utter such an accusation aloud, had kept their tongues firmly rooted in their mouths.
One less thing to try to obscure the truth about when not asked directly. Still... she'd been left with plenty to chew on as she roosted in their temporary home, recovering from the ripples of her death, celebrating what gifts there yet remained in her life and... the promise of a grisly future. Mirestar had been sincere in such a proposal... and she in turn, interested. Her council will need to be informed just as soon as things here felt settled again; she didn't want to launch them into a war they were largely unprepared for.
"Good news," the lynx point calls, watching the disgruntled forms of her displaced clan shuffle from their makeshift hollows to listen- she can only pray it is hope in their eyes rather than miserable defeat, sucking their souls of their will to persevere. "Our camp... has finally dried... it is safe to... make our return." Her tail lifts, a reassuring grin pulling onto her features as she finds their youngest members beaming up at her. (At least you can always rely on kits to have high spirits.)
"Let's make haste.... We'll need to... patch any damage... have new nests... made. Please assist... the queens first... then the elders." her instructions wobble, reminded how empty the den of their most wise must now be.... "Any prey we've.. collected will need... to be transported... as well...." At least this was not so severe as the last flood... that had kept them locked out of their reed-crested island for so much longer than a half moon.
