Moon 262-Leaf-bare
This is the moon of leg wounds. Greenrapid (18) fell off a cliff and broke his leg, Downgaze (43) fell through a snow drift and broke his leg, and Nettlestripe (31) slipped on some rocks and dislocated his leg. Wow. Tumbleswoop (51) thinks that Blizzardback (25) should know his favorite prey and is upset when the young cat gives him his least favorite prey. It must have been on purpose. Skipneedle (37) doesn’t care that Tumbleswoop can be a little mean at times. She likes him anyway and gives him a pretty flower. Skipneedle isn’t the only one of the fearsome foursome giving presents to cats they like; Bluestripe (37) gives Almondback (33) a circular twoleg object she found. She hides behind her whiskers when he thanks her, embarrassed by him seeing through a crack in her tough facade. Despite being out of the nursery, Downgaze’s kits are enjoying spending time with their dad. Hyacinthpaw (7) shares a joke about FurledClan with him, Hatchpaw (7) enjoys talking about Clan drama with him, and Whorlpaw (7) appreciates how Downgaze always checks in on her. Meanwhile, a FurledClan queen drops her litter in ElementClan. Sweet Marmalade (47) decides to take them in as his own. There’s the earth-blessed Hollykit (1), who’s already been helping out in the healer's den, and his brother, Stonekit (1), who is star-blessed. Ooh. Tumbleswoop wants to talk with Creekstar (116) and Primcrest (104) about how dark-cursed cats vs star-blessed cats are treated. He can’t help but think that Echomoor would have lived longer if he had been treated better by the Clan. Hopedawn (51) mediates the exchange, but little change is made. Tumbleswoop does understand where Creekstar is coming from better, though. She feels like the Clan has suffered a lot under her leadership and fears that her welcoming of dark-cursed cats may have caused some of it. Tumbleswoop doesn’t agree, but he can at least sympathize with her.
