"Hi Airleap," Gorsepaw meowed cheerily as he bounded up to the brown and white tom. "I-"

Airleap startled, fur fluffing as he whipped around, stopping the apprentice in his tracks at his startled expression.

"Uh," Gorsepaw squeaked, crouching down. "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you-"

Airleap blinked slowly, wondering why his heart was pounding so hard in his chest. Gorsepaw had only spoken to him. But those words... He swallowed, glancing away, the grief that stuck to his bones like sludge weighing him down, making him so, so tired...
