Rosesky heard Nightbird behind her. She stopped for a minute and let Nightbird catch up to her. She hesitated, then said “I-I’m sorry. You are a great patrol leader and I’ve been kinda-well, kinda the worst. I’m sorry for being like that. If you tell me to, I will leave Blackblood to-to kill the kit.”
Nightbird looked around at the scene before her; Blackblood poised over the fox kit while Rosesky stared at her expectantly. Her tail twitched rapidly in indecision. The fox kit was helpless, and some part of her felt that it was wrong to kill it. But, it could grow up and endanger more cats. Killing the foxes wasn’t the priority, the priority was to chase them out. But there wasn’t really a reason not to...Blackblood had caught up to the kit and jumped on its back. Due to how small it was, he was easily able to pin it down and wait for Nightbird to give the order to give a killing bite.
Owlherb looked up at the setting sun and sighed. She stood and grabbed the traveling herbs and a few for grief before returning. "Eat up, it's a long walk."
“Do it.” Nightbird growled. She turned and stalked away. She didn’t take any joy from its death. Nightbird found a good fight exhilarating, but killing something helpless was something she only considered when deemed necessary.
