{$title} takes place right after gathering

indentDustystar ducks into the nursery with her head hung low and her shoulders sagging. The Gathering has left her drained, but she has a promise to fulfill. "Honeyflower." Her voice is gentle, as to not disturb the expecting queen. "We're back. We left early."

indentQuietly, she slinks into the shade of the nursery, and tucks her paws underneath herself, preparing for a long explanation. "I promised to tell you about it, but know that it's not gonna be a pretty story."

Slow Down, Just Breathe

Honeyflower is dozing in the nursery, her kits either nursing or sleeping at her side, when she startles slightly to Dustystar's approach. Her leader's posture is alarming, almost defeated and any tiredness the Gale Guard had is almost instantly sapped away out of alarm.

"What happened at the gathering, Dusty..?" Her mew is soft, gazing at the molly with concern. "Is everything alright?" Clearly it wasn't or Dustystar wouldn't have come in such a state. With shoulders sagging as if carrying a great weight.

She wished she had been able to go- maybe, somehow, she would have been able to try and soothe whatever had happened. Or maybe whatever it was had been too far gone to try and smooth over. Either way the fact of the matter was that she wasn't there. Green eyes blinked slowly, softly, encouraging her leader to speak.

indentDustystar remains silent, for a moment. Her eyes rest upon the wriggling kits as she puts her thoughts together. "The cat that attacked Gorsepaw, Thunderclan's deputy. She wasn't his only victim. There was an... accident, at the Thunderclan and Skyclan border. A Skyclan cat crossed the boundary, and was killed." Her throat feels dry. It's difficult to make the words come out. "Hawkstar demanded a life as payment. Juniperstar gave one of her own."

indentEver so gently, she reaches out towards one of the kittens, licking it on the top of it's soft head. Though the atmosphere of the nursery is comforting and serene, the specter of death follows Dustystar. "Hawkstar tore her throat out, right there." Her eyes meet Honeyflower's. "Is that justice, do you think? Owlbark and Hawkstar just did what they thought would protect their clans." Dustystar shakes her head. "But still, the sight of it won't leave me alone. I'm not sure anyone will get much sleep tonight."
