Hawkstar
may your dreams be larger than mountains
Hawkstar had thought the scent bad enough before. Unfortunately for both of them, it was about to get worse. Having been in his own predicament, he didn't notice the intensification immediately. In fact, he was so caught up in Bearclaw's upside down position, he barely registered the increase in the stinging sensation of his eyes as he padded towards the downed warrior. His tail moved slowly from one side to the other, glad to hear that Bearclaw seemed otherwise unharmed. Of course, it was right about when he opened his mouth to respond to his companion that the force of the stench truly washed over him.
Staggering briefly under the weight of it, and coughing raggedly at the attack on his throat, the StoneClan figurehead ducked his head to hide his nose momentarily in his own chest fur. "Stars above!" He hacked, nose wrinkling against the onslaught as he forced himself to turn back to the other tom. Slight amusement glittered in his pale amber gaze, but kept himself in check, not wanting to cause further embarrassment. All this had, in all technicality, been Hawkstar's fault too. The least he could do was be helpful and not make the situation any worse.
"I regret to inform you that I believe the skunk won out in this battle. It might be best-" Another pause to cough lightly. "If we make our way to the Stone Stream and have you take a dip before it settles too far into your coat." Shifting his position so he could point the way with his tail, the StoneClan leader glanced back at Bearclaw. "What say you, Bearclaw? And you'll have to forgive me for this.. Unusual circumstance. I should have been more certain what we were hunting before sending you to fetch it like that."
Curling his tail behind him briefly, he offered a sincere smile. "At the very least, I can help in the endeavor of making this... A little less offensive. Then we can see what Ebonypaw and Sandblaze have to suggest herb wise, to mask it further."
