If the gorse that thumps against the jagged scars carved across Coldbite's broad chest irritates him with its prickling thorns, he does not show it. His jaw is set in a stoic square as the bundle of yellow blooms rustles with every pawstep, reedy noises that breathe of the open air and rustling grasses. Heavy forelimbs still when he nears the thick, protective bush of gorse that conceals the nursery, now home to Rattleheart's lonely brood and Bluefrost's flinty eyes. This latest addition is what drives him on his awkward trek over to the shielded den.
He looks jarring set against a place made for softness—all carved scars and blunt snout, his big, canine frame strange juxtaposed with the gorse bush from which emanate the soft smell of milk and sheep's wool, accompanied by kitten coos. A babysitter he is not, and his objective today is one of logic, of protection—with all their Clan has faced of late, their most vulnerable cannot be too protected. He drops his bundle and takes up a bit of the brush, gunmetal eyes sweeping the den for weaknessses. His face is impassive and his voice unused as he begins to slowly thread fresh strands of gorse into the barren patches.
