Private for Cloudpaw) The dark tabby tom yawned as he came towards his den. He had been off for the last couple of days on his own away from the clan finishing some old business for his loner past. But he didn't come back without a few memories. One being a long three claw scar across his right eye and across the bridge of his nose. He looked slightly ruffled pelt but that was ok. He's groom when he got into his den. Yawning again the large tom make a quick detour to hunt. Bringing back a plump mouse and settled infront of his den to eat it. Sighing contently when he finished. Then began grooming his matted fur.

Might not be on in the next week. Vacation.)
Keira had been looking around for prey. She hadnt been able to catch anything since knowing Rebellion hadnt been around. As she'd been hunting, a whiff of his scent carried across the grounds and she smiled. It was good to come across him again.
She slowly stalked his scent as carefully as she could. After she say his pelt disappear to his den, she smiled and poked her head in.
"Rebel! I missed you." She purred.

His head snapped up and his eyes took a moment to focus and recognize. "Hey Keira." He smiled warmly. "Been awhile huh?"

Keira smiled shyly back and crept down into the den. Her bright eyes examined the den and then to his pelt. It seemed a bit mussed in places but it appeared that he'd been cleaning himself up.
"Its been forever Rebs. Youve missed a lot." She whispered and very carefully lay down, easing her way ro her belly.

Yeah." He agreed softly looking down at her. His distant eyes softening slightly. "Yeah I guess I have." He mumbled before resuming his washing. "What exact HAD I missed while I was gone?" He asked glancing up at her every few rough licks to his pelt

She smiled a dorky grin and her eyes lost the hostile glance from before. She looked over him again and she saw him groom himself some more.
"Well, Drought got attacked by a snake, we got attacked by rats, Sunspots tried to fight with me, and I got pretty banged up on a hunt." She mumbled, looking away from him.

His eyes instantly shot over to her and his expression darkened. "Is Drought ok?" He asked. "And are YOU ok? What was the fight about." He asked as he examined her for any fresh wounds.

Well, Droughts fine. Cyra an I saved him actually. He made us royalty. And please, dont treat me any different Reb. Which leads me into Sunspots. She attacked me for helping Drought. Verbally though, I dont fight wars that im out fought in. But, the rats are everywhere. They did some damage." She meowed softly. "Because of that I dont believe ive eaten in days."
Her grey head looked away after catching his paniced gaze. Her eyes turned dark with sadess and she sat up exposing her cut up belly. Her back injuries had healed more and her ear had stopped bleeding. Most of her face was scabbed up, her ears, cheek,forehead. And her belly was in complete scabs. Some were deep marks that would be scars later. Her belly was bleeding near her chest but she couldnt help it. Moving made it worse but she needed to survive. Her eyes looked over at Rebs and tears filled her eyes as she pinned her ears back, nearly crying.
"Rebellion, just look at me. I cant even hunt for myself until they go away. Im nowhere near fine." She cried at him, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She sorely turned towards the entrance and sat down. Her tail curled around her paws and she hung her head. She was still smaller then Rebs but she'd grown since last time.

He eyed each wound critically as she continued speaking. He remained silent for awhile until he rose to his paws and padding over to the smaller she-cat and nuzzled her cheek tenderly. "I'm sorry Keira. I'm so so sorry for not being there for you. I would have helped if I was here. Nothing should be more important then the people I care about." He mumbled closing his eyes guiltily before rising to his paws. "I'll go hunt and bring you back something. You need to eat if you want to keep your energy." He muttered, seemingly more troubled then ever as he padded away outside of his den to go hunt for his friend.

Keira felt his nose on her wet cheek and a purr escaped her throat. She smiled at him shyly and dipped her head.
"Rebs..I didnt mean to make you feel so bad. Im sorry as well. I shouldnt be so selfish. Im sorry." She called after him.
Keira bit her lip as she saw Rebel disappear into the woods. Guilt waved over her pelt and she immediately felt bad. She hadnt meant to make him feel so bad, it had built until she slipped up.

Not long after the dark tabby padded back over with a plump squirrel in his jaws. He set it down wordlessly by the she-cats feet and sat down beside her. Tentatively licking at her wounds in hopes of not only comforting her but to clean and sooth her wounds. A strange determined look in his eyes as he was lost in thought. Looking like he had something important on his mind but he was patient and let the shecat eat first

Her belly growled as she set eyes on the squirrel and dipped her head respectively at him. Keira tore into the squirrel before slowing down and taking smaller bites. Soon after she was half way through, she flinched as his tongue rasped against her pelt. Keira turned and looked at him catching his look. She soon settled down against his tongue and finished the squirrel. As she finished, she turned and looked at Rebellion again.
"Rebs.. is something bothering you?" She asked quietly.

He glanced at her but continued to work I silence a few minutes. Just buying time to find the right words to say. "I feel bad about what happened..." He began after a moment as he paused before turning to look at her full on. "And hearing what happened made me furious and guilty....and scared." He said softly as he looked at her scarred body. "Furious at what happened, guilty at myself for not being there....and scared because I realized that I could have lost you." He muttered. "I mean look at you Keira..." He looked at her his eyes sad. "All of this could have lessened if I was there. I wouldn't have let anything hurt you more then I could help it." He said. He rested his head gingerly against hers and closed his eyes with a heavy sigh. "I could have lost you Keira." He repeated in a soft whisper.

Keira knew that he meant well. He hadnt meant for the attack to happen, in fact he didnt even know it happened. He couldn't prevent what had happened. Maybe he was right though. Maybe if he'd been there, this wouldn't be so bad. She saw the sadness flash through his eyes and she felt a stabbing pain in her heart as she knew she'd caused it.
"Rebs, if youd been here for me, we'd both look like this. And I cant bear to see you injured. Dont beat yourself up, you cant stop rats, snakes, misfortune. I enjoy having you Rebs because I know that you'd go to dark pool and back for a friend." When he layed his head on hers and sighed, she blinked away tears and closed her eyes before purring. "You'll never lose me Reb. I promise."

You can't promise the inevitable. We all die someday." He muttered. "But I meant what I said Keira. I. Can't. Lose. You." He opened his eyes to look at her. "Isn't it obvious?" He mumbled
