Well, a little bird had told him that someone had proposed to his mother.
So here he was making a little message. The dead ShadowClan tiger's body was hung up on a tree and its ribs staved in. There was a letter jammed into its jaws that read:
Dearest Merle,
Treat my mother well.
If you don't, Hostess can tell you what I might do.
Cheers,
RXP
