Relief flooded through the tomcat as he was the first to spot their missing clanmates walking through the tall grass in order to reach them. Smiling softly to himself as he watched felines rush to greet their loved ones, his own flaming orange eyes were watching Iciclepaw as she came running towards him and her family. Leaning down to drape his tongue over his granddaughter’s forehead, breathing in her scent that was tainted with the soot but he was reassuring himself that his granddaughter was safe and where she belonged. Ears twitching as he heard Eveningstorm barreling through the crowd of cats, the only reassurance he had that Desertstar was alive as he looked down at Iciclepaw. Hesitating slightly as she requested to join the patrol, eyes lifting towards Scorchedbones as he gave a single nod. “I want Littlewoods or Moosepaw to look her over first.” Hailgaze reasoned. 

Glancing towards Novafall as she stepped up to join the patrol as well, but his eyes narrowed as he gave a wave of his tail. “I want you to see Littlewoods or Moosepaw, once you get cleared you can join the patrol.” He said firmly, he wasn’t about to send cats out into the unknown without knowing their state of health. Letting Eveningstorm and Desertstar have their moment before he stood up and walked towards his leader slowly as she finally noticed him. Dipping his head in a respectful greeting, his eyes roaming over her pelt briefly to ensure her health before he grunted. “Welcome back.” He meowed, whiskers twitching. “I’m putting together an exploration patrol together. Find somewhere to settle more.” He explained.

Vibrant green eyes were constantly roaming over her kittens, golden tail lashed when she noticed Cougarkit tackling Sagekit to the ground, unbothered that the fact one of their siblings were missing. Beetlekit and Dunekit were attempting to lick the soot and ash from their fur, but she found amusement in the scrunch of their noses and Dunekit’s gag. Truth be told that she was worried that StarCan had claimed another mate and two of her kits. Unable to eat with the uncertainty, glancing to the side to see the dark clouds of smoke still rising in the distance from their home. It’s gone. She thought to herself, shaking her head slight with anguish before she leaned down to rasp her tongue over Dunekit’s forehead. 

Instantly, upon hearing a familiar voice, Goldenrose lifted her head and half turned to where she could see Viperkit’s black and white furred boy of fluff running towards her. “Viperkit!” She immediately began to purr as the kitten barreled into her chest, smiling down at him as she rasped her tongue over his forehead before she immediately sought out Cometchaser and Novafall. Relief caused the she-cat to slump down into a sitting position as Cometchaser’s massive head bumped affectionately against her shoulder blade. “I was so worried, about all three of you.” She said softly before she noticed Novafall approaching Rockymountain, but then her daughter immediately offered to go on this exploration patrol. “She just reunited with the clan.” She muttered.

Chest heaved with relief as his eyes roamed over Novafall’s figure, gently shouldering his way through the crowd in order to reach his mate’s side. Pressing his nose against her cheek before his pale yellow eyes roamed over her pelt with a worried gaze. “I’m sorry that we got separated. I am so glad that you got out.” He purred, cheeks and ears warming up with slight embarrassment with her nickname. However, he paused in confusion when Novafall glanced at her father before she was immediately offering to go on Hailgaze’s exploration patrol. Ears lowered against his head, lips parting to speak before he suddenly jumped when he was pushed out of the way as Eveningstorm suddenly spotted a certain Molly. 

Biting his tongue as he knew that his father was very excited to see his mother, his own yellow eyes relieved to see his mother limping into the clearing in order to be smothered by his father. Chuckling slightly, he knew better than to interrupt the two felines in order to welcome his mother back, but he sighed and glanced back towards Novafall.

At first he was agreeing to participate on the patrol in order to occupy his mind, but as their missing clanmates began to reunite with their loved one, dark amber eyes were immediately searching the few cats for one particular she-cat. Both his ears and tail immediately perked up as his eyes landed upon the familiar stature of his mate, Desertstar. Without much thought to care for those around him, Eveningstorm was swiftly trotting through the crowd in order to reach Desertstar. “Desertstar!” He called out, his voice trembling with relief as he instantly wrapped his larger body around her own as his tongue began to drag along her face, cleaning away the soot. He didn’t care if she was the leader, he was going to ensure she was safe. 

“I’m sorry that I couldn’t come back for you. Are you okay?” He meowed worriedly, taking barely a step back for his eyes to roam over her pelt as he grunted. “You should see Littlewoods after you speak with Hailgaze, just in case.” He said softly, looking over her beautiful face as he pressed their noses together in a kiss. “I’m glad you are here.” He said with relief before he finally stepped back so she could address her clanmates, not wanting to smother her.
