Scorchingkit fell into pace with Orchidblood. The two mourning warriors had just returned from the burial of Orchewood and Lunecry. Apparently Hailkit had too much of a surprise and had fainted on the spot. Scorchingkit helped Orchidblood carry Hailkit on her back.
When the two headed into the medicine den, Scorchingkit let go of Hailkit near a nest of brambles. She would be comfortable here. Scorchingkit shook his fur out, the kit weighed more then he thought she would. "I can stay if you have to go back..." he said suppressing a yawn. This drama was all to much for the kits, including himself. Dried blood caked the right side of his face. When he fell off a rock and sliced his head a few days ago, he awoke to his mother finding him. Apparently he had been missing for over a week, and Koisplash had come to find him. Along with her family who was trying to find Koisplash, Scorchingkit's mother. The ginger tom laid down his head next to Hailkit, as a wave of pain rushed over him. The clear ooze of infection filled his nose from the laceration on his head. He almost gagged.
