Flickerfly had been dozing in his nest in the Warriors Den when Stonebelly crashed in, calling for him and for Goldenfreckle. Getting to his paws hurriedly, he explained he wasn't sure of Goldenfreckle's location; he'd assumed she'd gone out on patrols or were spending time with their kits while he napped, but his explanation fell short when Stonebelly interrupted him to tell him that Mousepaw and Leafpaw had been injured by an eagle attack while out on patrol.
He didn't stop to hear anything beyond that, shoving past Stonebelly - he'd apologize to the grey tomcat later.
"Goldenfreckle!?" He called, eyes searching, but maybe she already knew. Maybe she was already on her way. If she was in the camp, she'd surely come running at his frantic yowl and if she wasn't, well, the medicine cat den was not too far away from the camp entrance.
Hurrying towards the medicine cat's den, his silver gaze focused in on his daughter, Leafpaw. He came to a stop in front of her, anguish in his gaze.
"Leafpaw, you're - how are you? Where's your brother?" He raised his gaze, searching past her.
"Mousepaw?" He asked. Actually, where were all of his kits. He turned his head back the way he came.
"Twilightpaw? Rushpaw?" He called.
"Dad, don't..." He heard Leafpaw mewing, but he didn't heed her words. He needed to know where all of his family members were, now. Leafpaw was sitting in front of him, looking disheveled, but alive. She smelled of herbs and had cobwebs sticking out of his fur. He didn't move to embrace her; he didn't want to shift any poultices or webbing away from where it was needed. His mind was racing - once his mate arrived, she could do the comforting for Leafpaw and for anyone else who needed it for that matter, but right now, he looked down with sharp, focused eyes at Leafpaw and demanded.
