Smokeice nodded and padded back to Redwhisper. He knew it was quite a foolish question to ask the medicine cats, but he needed to know. Anything to help his friend. He padded up to Redwhisper and opened his mouth, but no words came out. He shut his mouth and leaped up onto the small rock Redwhisper sat upon, pressing comfortingly against him and closing his eyes. He couldn't force Redwhisper to eat. He could only wait.

OOC: Has Shellystream been online?

Eaglemoon padded into the tunnel after Lionsky. "I hope Miststar is right..." he shuddered as a few drops of water leaked through the top of the tunnel.

Illusionglow sat in the camp, washing her paws. "She watched Smokeice through narrowed eyes. "You heard Miststar- looks like she'll have to shred you for letting your clanmate die, when your leader told you specifically to help him!" she growled lightly, flicking her tail annoyed. "I'm sure she'll let me help- once I tell her you aren't making him eat- instead, your sitting around like a lazy old kittypet, waiting to be fed. If you aren't gonna help, well, step away from the cat. My turn to try." She stepped delicately around Smokeice and over to Redwhisper.

Smokeice's eyes opened as he heard Illusionglow. He growled under his breath and stood up to face her, stepping into her way to block her off from Redwhisper. "First of all, I am not waiting to be fed. I gave him MY food, in case you were too busy grooming to notice. I cannot force a Clanmate to eat, because if he does not want to eat, he could choke on his food trying to stop it from going down, and that would block his airways and kill him. Do you want to do that?" He asked, trying to stay as calm as he could. His nerves were stretched to the breaking point with worry, and he needed to keep calm as Miststar would slit his throat if he lashed out at a Clanmate.

"Shut up, Illusionglow." Berrypaw muttered as he came out of the den with one poppy seed. He padded over to Smokeice, frowning at Redwhisper. "You'd think differently if it were you, Illusionglow." He called over to the she-cat, narrowing his eyes. "Move." Berrypaw pushed her with a paw softly, a warning glow in his dark green eyes. He sat next to Redwhisper with a mouse and a poppy seed. "Redwhisper, I need you too eat." Berrypaw whispered, laying down near the tom's face.[/fancypost]

OOC: Sorry, I have to type fast. I couldn't get on all day. I love this thread. It's now one of my favourites.

Lionsky slipped through the narrow gap, deep in thought.
Mintpool sighed. "There is no herb that can heal grief, only time itself can fix that. Redwhisper, you have to eat. Just a bit." she meowed.
Redwhisper hardly reacted, but just ate a tiny piece.

Smokeice's head dropped as Redwhisper ate a tiny piece of freshkill. He tried as hard as he could to stay positive...At least he ate something right? His eyes glistened with tears for a split second before he shook his head, dismissing them. No. He wouldn't let one of his closest friends starve. He nudged the prey even closer to Redwhisper and laid down next to him, their fur touching. "Redwhisper. Think of your family. Think of how Lionsky and Mintpool are going to feel if you do this to yourself, especially if you could've been helped. I know it's hard to lose someone you love. You know how my family went when we were kits. But you know what Redwhisper? Your mother is watching you, at this exact moment, with all the love and care she showed towards you and your siblings when she was alive. She's wishing you would live out your life, make something great out of it. Hunt to feed your Clan, protect it as fiercely as humanly possible, meet the she-cat of your dreams, and have lovely litters of beautiful kits. You will see her again when it is time for you ro finally leave this Clan for good. But that's not for a while though, right?" He asked, finishing off his speech with a small lick to his ear. He really hoped not many cats had heard that speech. He was usually never like this.

Eaglemoon flattened his ears to his head against the frozen river water and clenched his teeth, as he struggled about in the pitch darkness, following Lionsky's scent. He had always prefered going around rather than through these tunnels, but he'd do this for Miststar. His fur felt warm again as she reached his mind. Miststar was waiting on the other side! For him! He would swim across the river if she ordered him too!

Lacedflower came up to Smokedice, her delicate tortie paws gracefully taking her. She licked the tip of Redwhisper's ear with sympathy, her silver eyes glowing. She hated it when any of her clanmates were harmed or depressed, as a matter of fact, she couldn't stand it when any cats were.[/fancypost]

"Has he slept?" Berrypaw murmured to Smokedice, his green eyes glistening with some mix of emotions. Redwhisper needed too eat, he'd have to get over the fact that Whispfur had died and move on. Whispfur was probably wathing Redwhisper right now, and that was the point. Redwhisper couldn't starve himself.[/fancypost]

Illusionglow let her fur lay flat. "I'm sorry," she meowed sadly, to Berrypaw and Smokiece. She sighed and pressed herself against Redwhisker, breathing in his scent worried. "I do over-react sometimes when I'm worried," she admitted.

Scorchpaw padded over to the warriors. "What's wrong?" he asked, seeing their long faces. He wondered when Miststar would give him a mentor and make him a real apprentice.

Meanwhile, Eaglemoon was still rumaging along. He winced when her head his claw scratching. Ouch!
"Hey, Lionsky!" he called, "Are we almost there?" He was drenched, and he sneezed.

Coppertail looked at Redwhisper sympathetically, and turned to Scorchpaw. "He's... depressed that his mother died... he hasn't been eating... lets give him a little room, shall we?" Coppertail flicked her tail. "hey, Smokeice, I'll take Scorchpaw hunting. Maybe we can impress Miststar and get you a mentor!" She smiled at the deputy, her fur hot. "Lets go, Scorchpaw," she meowed.
