[center][h2][b][i][color=EC8A27] Owleye: SunClan Camp [/color][/i][/b][/h2][/center]

[center][b]Interacting with:[/b] [@AutumnFrost]'s Frostpaw & [@Smystar99]'s Spottedfire[/center]

Grief overwhelmed Owleye. Badgerclaw had been a kind deputy, someone that Owleye had trusted deeply. Though Owleye was not loud-spoken, he always knew that Badgerclaw was there to listen to him. The large black-furred tom leaned into Frostpaw, knowing that his Apprentice must be feeling scared and overwhelmed. He lowered his head to touch his nose to the top of Frostpaw's head, closing his deep amber eyes for a moment. 

[color=EC8A27]"It is okay to mourn, Frostpaw,"[/color] Owleye meowed softly. This was a lesson he had never wanted to teach, one that came hard for young apprentices, so filled with life and hope. [color=EC8A27]"The truth of it is, we will all run in StarClan someday. Badgerclaw's day just came sooner than we would have hoped,"[/color] he added. 

He sighed, looking around at his grieving clanmates. Pain clouded eyes of all the cats around him, and Owleye stepped forward and gently licked Badgerclaw's head, dipping his head respectfully to Laurelcloud and Silverstar as he did so. 

[i]This never gets any easier,[/i] the tom thought to himself. He trotted back to Frostpaw, and murmured, [color=EC8A27]"I am going to rest for awhile. If you would like to take this time to share tongues with Badgerclaw one last time, you may, and then get some rest with the other Apprentices. We'll see if a patrol needs our help later,"[/color] he touched his nose to his apprentice's head one time, trying to emanate calm and understanding. 

Owleye noticed Spottedfire sitting to the side of the camp, and decided to see how the tender she-cat was doing. He padded over, softly asking, [color=EC8A27]"How are you doing, Spottedfire?"[/color] He sat down next to her, letting her warmth seep into his side, hoping she didn't mind the intrusion. As much as he enjoyed his time mentoring Frostpaw, sometimes he needed the companionship of a fellow Warrior, and Spottedfire always seemed to [i]get[/i] him, in a way he didn't feel with many other of his clanmates.
