Hazelclaw ((Hope you don't mind the tag lawl but heyyy i need to do VWW things and stuff. Also perhaps these two can grump together about spawn-related regrets and ruining Fireclan lol
Amberflash hadn't been doing much lately. She'd... Come across Fangshadow apparently trying to kill himself in the most agonizing method possible. That had been more than a tiny bit depressing. It's not like their lives were meant to be all sunshine and roses but.... She wasn't going to just throw her life away like he'd seemed determined to. She hadn't seen her family for... Well, a rather long time. It honestly made her feel like crap. Hadn't one of her greatest regrets been not staying in touch with her children? She wasn't sure where Birdheart had gone, or if she'd disappeared like Birchbounce and Wolfpaw but... Hazelclaw was still around and she... Worried for him. She wondered if it was her fault that he didn't spend time with his kits. Had she set a bad example? Now, Hazeclaw's and Pinyondapple's kits were.... Er... Well, all of them actually seemed to have disappeared. At least she still had Hazelclaw even if... Actually everyone in her life seemed to disappear one after the other. Rainlight... Stormfrost... Foxclaw... Birdheart... Did she really have anyone to talk aside from her son? All the more reason to hold onto her remaining family. Which, lead to her simply walking up to him in the middle of camp. " Hey, Hazelclaw. Been a long time, right? Haven't been too great at keeping in touch... Hoping to change that." She wondered when she somehow grew more certain in... Everything almost.

 Hazelclaw Hazelclaw has been slower on going on border and hunting patrols, not as often leaving camp in general. His thoughts were going wild as he walked from the warrior's den toward the kill pile, but stopping midway and slumping down on the ground onto his stomach.
The tom waited a while, not for anything, but he waited. A familiar voice came up to him, and his heart nearly skipped a beat. "Mom?.." The tom froze for a bit before looking up at her, not knowing how else to reply.

Amberflash winced slightly when she heard the tone of her son's voice. "Eh... Yeah. It's me. Sorry I haven't been great at keeping in touch." She sighed. "You know this... But I'm garbage at keeping in touch. I'm going to try and change that, if you don't mind. You're more or less the only connection I have left, and I'm not keen on letting it slip through my claws." She said. "So.... Up for a walk? Try to catch up? Things have been... Hectic and then eerily quiet lately. I think... I want to hear your stance on things."

Hazelclaw Hazelclaw blinked slowly and sat up on his haunches. "No.. you're good." The tom glanced around the camp, I guess you're my only connection left also... he thought with guilt.
"Yea.. sure, you can lead the way."

Amberflash didn't usually smile, but her expression was definitely leaning in the positive direction. "Alright, then." She meowed, beginning to walk out of camp, leading the way for her son.

Hazelclaw Hazelclaw walks.
Hazelclaw nodded as she walked away. He went through the entrance slowly, forgetting his past hunger. The tom wiggled his nose at the scent of FireClan's grassy fields.

Amberflash began walking out onto the open plains that were Fireclan's lands, with her son not following far behind. She sighed, and slowed down so she was walking next to him. "... I'm guessing you're about as lonely as I've been." She huffed. "Not too great at making friends myself."

Hazelclaw Hazelclaw blinked, and sighed after listening to Amberflash. "At least we had good friends.. right?" he said silently, twitching his nose to the territory's scent.

Amberflash let out a wistful sigh. "Yeah... They were good." 'Then they left.' A more bitter side of her thought. She turned her head to look at her son as she walked. "... Why didn't you spend more time with your kids?" She asked bluntly, not really anymore tactful than she had been in the past.

Hazelclaw Hazelclaw huffed, not replying at first. He waited a bit as they walked, looking around the territory. He walked a bit slower, "Why I don't?.." he hesitated, "They didn't seem to need me, they wanted to do their own thing."

Amberflash waited for a response, trying to push down her growing impatience during the period of silence. Then she got her answer. She bit her lip, trying to think about how to respond in a way that would reach her son. "Erm... Y'know... When I realized I wasn't as around as I should've been for you and Birdheart... How did you feel?" She asked.

Hazelclaw Hazelclaw swallowed, his ears twitching as he forced himself to pick up his pace. "I guess a bit alone... but it didn't kill me, I guess.." He felt a bit weirded out as an odd scent hit his nose, but his focus was elsewhere.

Amberflash was about to respond as a scent hit her nose. She froze. She knew this scent. "... Hazelclaw. We need to go check something out. C'mon." She said, her voice firm and urgent. She immediately took off to follow the strange scent. She didn't want to think about what she'd find...
Nothing good lay at the end of the trail of the scent of blood.

Hazelclaw Hazelclaw blinked as she spoke, he sniffed more, it smelt like something familiar, but not fully. He frowned as he quickly followed Amberflash, but stopped short as he saw blood, noticing that was the main scent he had smelled. The tom panicked slightly, following the trail wth his eyes up to fur and.. skin.
The tom noticed the smell too late, and was frozen. He didn't care what had hurt her, but he wanted his daughter back.

Amberflash stopped at where the trail of blood ended. There was a bloody trail with little bits of skin around. There was no scent of a predator of any kind... But... She looked up. ".... Must've been a hawk..." She murmured. It was the only reasonable explanation for her granddaughter's apparent death. This... Was a lot of blood and the presence of ripped flesh seemed to only support her theory. She sighed and moved over to Hazelclaw. "I'm sorry." She said quietly. Her grief in the past had been angry and upset. Now? She felt a little bit empty.
((So apparently hawks can and will carry off small pets including cats... So the false-death-theory is officially a hawk now.
