Shuffling paws signaled that the tom was finally back. Thank StarClan for that! Ashstar was only able to start on the nursery wall before running out of brambles and branches. That brother of hers had been gone way too long for just gathering a few branches. Becoming a bit impatient, the she-cat had made her way to the fresh-kill pile to inspect it. Not much was left, just a couple of small mice, hopefully the cats out hunting would be back soon.
The gray she-cat walked around to each of the dens, looking inside for any stragglers, cats not doing anything. She had been interrupted by the sound of the pawsteps she knew better than anyone else. Frostwind had finally returned.
Ashstar padded up to her brother, a smile on her face, happy to see he was back. Although she was worried about the patrol in ShadowClan, she knew her deputy could handle everything. Would they be back in time for the gathering tonight? She hoped so, with so few cats it would be hard to keep everything together.
"Please tell me you have more than that." she said glancing at the branches in his mouth. "That isn't even enough to fill up a part of the wall." she murmered.
Frostwind shook his head and set down the branches. "This is all I have gathered for now. Rainstorm and Rabbitheart are out looking for brambles. I ran into them and Tigerheart who were out hunting. Tigerheart should be back any moment bringing back the prey. " he said glancing at his sister.
As if able to sense the tension, he padded closer and gave her a quick lick. "Everything will be alright. Shadowstorm will bring everyone back safely." he murmered.
"I'm going to go use these branches to fix up what I can of the wall, you need a rest, you haven't stopped all day." the white tom said glaring for a moment, then picking up his pile and going toward the nursery.
Ashstar was glad for the comfort. "I'll rest when everyone is safe and home." she replied, watching him go toward the nursery. At least there was some prey that was being brought back, and Frostwind had gotten some branches for the nursery. He was right, though, she didn't need to worry too much.
