Emberlight

"In the darkest times, hope
is something you give yourself."

It had all happened so fast. It had only felt like yesterday that Emberlight and Honeynose had touched noses in their usual "see-you-later." Oh wait, it was yesterday.

But when would 'later' be now? Now, all around the deputy was a bevy of frightened eyes staring up at him, hoping he would have some kind of way to make everything better. It seemed the older he got, the less he knew to say. But he'd still try.

"Worry not, for we are stronger than the things that try to break us." He looked to Waspstrike, the petite warrior who had joined his group as one of the warriors who would assist an elder. Pride beamed in his chest for the grown warrior. "If this had happened a few moons later, you would've had to pull me across the river!" 

Waspstrike glared at him. "Don't joke about that." Ah yes, ever the optimist that young one.

"Come along, friends. Let us not waste the blessing of a calm river that StarClan has bestowed upon us today!"

74 Moons. Deputy. RainClan

Hickoryfoot | ... not sure what to state heeeeeere. :') | 270

Hickoryfoot wasn't sure that Emberlight's words were are all reassuring to her. It seemed like the words of someone trying to keep the clan together by saying simple sentences of encouragement without actually knowing what to say. She found herself bouncing from foot to foot, her pelt prickling along her spin with pent up nervousness and repressed desire to run. To bolt in a direction without actually following the word of authority, like she was always tempted to do.
But she didn't. She let her claws dig into the ground, trying to stand her ground like she was supposed to. This time, maybe when it counted, she could do what she was supposed to.
"Sounds like a plan," she said, maybe to Emberlight or maybe to Waspstrike or anyone else listening. She was impressed that her voice didn't shake when she said this. Instead, it seemed like her own voice was a bit hollow to her ears. Maybe no one would notice.
She took a couple steps forward, ears forward, ready to help with assisting any RainClan elders that needed her. She wasn't sure that she was really going to be good at this, but the excited energy through her legs had to be used for something. This - this was what she felt like she needed to do - to let the energy out somehow - to not bolt away running.
"What do I start with? What do I do?"
I? Was it 'I'? Or was it 'we'? She didn't know. She didn't know how ... group-y she was capable of in the best of times.

FOGCLOUD WAS SHAKEN by the collapse of their world, pressed against Poppytail's side with green eyes staring at their deputy, waiting for him to take charge. And, as expected, the russet tom would crack a smile and try to make light of their impossible predicament. They envied him his courage. Fogcloud could not wipe the grim apprehension from their face as they looked around at their terrified clanmates, glad that Silverstar had organised them so quickly in the face of this disaster. "Stay close." They murmured to Poppytail, whose gentle attempt at an optimistic half-smile died before her teeth could even show.[break][break]

They and Poppytail kept close to the throng of cats, and as Hickoryfoot's voice rose above the hubbub, Fogcloud found themself and their kin standing near to Emberlight, Waspstrike and Hickoryfoot. Her question was important. They all needed roles assigned to them, they needed support and guidance from their leadership to make sense of this deadly turmoil. Casting their eyes skyward for a brief moment, Fogcloud sent a prayer to StarClan that this, after all their Clan had been through, would not be the end of RainClan.[break][break]
