As Whippoorwill came to Bostitch's side, the tom knew he was done for. He knew the other tom would kill him instantly and was awaiting death. But, when the tom offered to help Bostitch off of the battle field, the tom was suprised. At first he was unsure whether to trust his enemy or not, but the persuading afterwards was good enough to get the tom up. He rose to his paws, glancing at Whippoorwill with a newfound respect, though he would not forgot the tom who had givin him the reason to need help.
"Thanks.", he grunted, leaning lightly against the tom's side for support.
