(★) he's not cowboy anymore. that name is stripped from him, burnt to ash in the fire that took the rest of his life too. now, the old man wanders the moors as wheatwhistle, aimless, lost in his head and his heart. dustystar allows him to do so - his granddaughter has always had a soft spot for him. she leads her new clan well, as he had always expected her to, and he watches her. ghosts haunt him, old memories of his sister, of his late lover, the others who had perished in the blaze, and he lets them swirl, lost in his heavy grief. four moons - it's been four moons since the worst day of the elderly cat's life, since clouds had swallowed the light from his vision.
today, when he emerges from the warriors' den and looks around, he sees the sun. a softness has settled into his dual-hued eyes, and when he swallows, his throat doesn't scratch like hell anymore. tufted ears flick to attention, the ginger and white tail curling across his flank as he takes a breath. okay, he thinks. let's start over. as morning shines bright and clear across the flowery moor, wheatwhistle rolls his shoulders, raises his voice. "anycat fancy a huntin' patrol?"
