Moon 196-Greenleaf
Brightfern’s family is shaken by her loss. No parent wants to mourn multiple children, and Fry (103) wails over Brightfern’s body. He makes a point of removing some foliage from Brightfern’s nest before it’s cleared out. Brightfern’s scent, and the strands of fur left behind, comfort Fry as he drifts off to sleep. Wildcave’s (79) voice quavers as he talks about his sister, trying to get through the tale and return to grieving over Brightfern’s body. He wants Brightfern’s vigil to be good, to show that she was loved. Wildcave only returns to his nest when concerned Clanmates usher him there. Tremors wrack his body as he dwells on how Brightfern won’t see another morning. In better news, Cilantro (57) has come out as a trans she-cat and uses she/her pronouns. She feels comfortable in the Clan that has welcomed her. Feeling less comfortable, Silverspots (14) is still struggling with his mediator duties and doesn’t make any progress on mediating some border disputes with RaccoonClan. Silverspots is also struggling in the romance department. Frecklestone (23) wishes cats would stop flirting with her. She hates it, and she especially hates the gift Silverspots gave her. Freedusk (75) continues to endear himself to the Clan as Chiku (130) spars with him to help the sick cat regain strength. However, Creekstar (50) points out that there’s still a chance Freedusk could die, which causes a bit of tension between the two of them. Tornflake (23) feels like things have been going too well for him lately. He’s been injury free for moons. Although he knows something bad is coming for him-he can feel it in his bones.
