Rustheart||Tom-cat||Deputy||Whisperclan

Rustheart looked out towards where Ravensrike had suggested. The dirt was loose and it was near the tree line, perfect for the problem at hand. "Yes that's perfect. It'll make the burial faster so we won't have to deal with this thing for too much longer." he looked to the sky witch had grown darker since they had been out there. The sun was just under the horizon An the sky was growing darker by the minute. They probably wouldn't have too much time left to hunt and patrol the border. I did kind of patrol out here this morning... he twitched his ear at the thought. He glanced as Darkpaw then Ravanstrike despite the darkness around them her fur seemed to pop against the backdrop.. His ears grew hot when he realised he had been staring. He looked forward and pulled his ears back slightly. "We won't have time to patrol the border, but we can still hunt since you really wanted to Darkpaw." The orange tom fluffed his fur a bit against the cold.

When the warriors suggested to bury the rabbit, Darkpaw paused in his attempt to pick it up. He didn't want to hold the thing any longer than he had to. When Ravenstrike complimented him, he felt himself flush. The tom had never been good at accepting compliments, so it was no surprise that he shifted around awkwardly. Hearing Rustheart speak his name, Darkpaw turned his head in the deputy's direction. "No, I think my appetite is gone for quite a while.." he mused, glancing down at the carcass. All he wanted to do after was curl in his nest and hope that he didn't smell too bad. "But you should hurry up, or else I'll fall into the hole!" he laughed softly, thinking of the scene where he placed his paw forward and felt nothing but air, making him tumble into the grave they had built. And of course he would have landed on the rabbit, making it all the much worse. He shuddered at the thought of having his body touch the thing.

The Deputy laughed softly at his protest, amusement flashing over her face. It was amusing to her how instead of refusing to simply do what she had told him to do, he just complained and then did it. It was almost kit like, in a good way. "Just look at me and don't look down!" she suggested when he came to the edge of the branch. To her it was an easy task, she tended to stare too long at the tom anyway. She fixed her gaze on Bramblefur and watched how his muscles underneath his pelt rippled, how his fur shinned in the late evening sun. Oh how she couldn't wait to show him her little magical place. Whenever she needed to think, she came to this place. It was unbelievably beautiful, at least to her.

Ravenstrike's eyes widened when she saw Rustheart looking at her, even being in his presence made her all tingly. She shuffled her paws and a smile tugged at her lips, she was glad he approved of her idea. Her eyes flickered back to Darkpaw, examining the apprentice as he spoke. She nodded solemnly, Rustheart was right, they were running out of time and daylight. She flashed the apprentice a sympathetic look before dashing towards the loose dirt, Ravenstrike began to paw at the surface. She wanted to make sure the hole was ready when they brought the rabbit so that Darkpaw didn't need to hold it for any longer than necessary.

Rustheart trailed behind Ravenstrike. He slowed as they got closer to the area and circled around to the opposite side to help dig. He wasn't very fond of the act and looked a littleness awkward as he scraped away at the dirt. The feeling of the dirt clinging to his pelt in clumps annoyed him causing an endless cycle of digging pausing flinging dirt off his paws and digging again. "Sorry, I uh - I'm not too keen on digging. I don't even actually bury prey... I just never really liked it." he said still trying to focus on digging. They were making progress though, and that was all that mattered at the moment, getting that thing buried.

The queen looked towards Hollowfur, her ears perked, "Food would be lovely, dear, thank you.' the blue feline purred, turning her head to groom down her fur. Flicking her tail, she shifted from her curl. Blue optics staring up form the nursery she resided in. Thinking back to Mottlefire and Bramblefur, she gave a small chuckle. it was quite amusing and reminded her of her beloved Blackberry.

Hollowfur nodded backing out of the nursery quietly but quickly. She breathed in and relaxed letting her tail droop. Her ears perked forward and her eyes flickered around the camp as she approached the fresh kill pile. She grabbed the squirrel that she had killed and carefully observed a large robin carcass, smelling for freshness and prodding to test how cold it was. When she was satisfied she grabbed the robin as well and turned on her heels back to the nursery. She lengthened her stride as the weight of the two carcasses tired her jaw quickly. She stopped in front of the den and dropped the robin, she would keep it for herself as the squirrel was fresher. She popped her head into the nursery and dropped the squirrel next to Bluefeather softly. "I caught it earlier today. " she whispered quickly. Her greenish yellow eyes reflecting the small amount of light entering the den.

Her gaze swiveled up to him as he spoke "I certainly can't blame you... It's not the nicest feeling in the world so I'm grateful for your help." She meowed, reaching a paw down and scooping at the clumps of soil. After a few more hauls, she stepped back and gently raked her claws along the grass in an attempt to clean them. She glanced back at the carcass, immediately wishing she hadn't. "Do you think this is deep enough?" She asked, dangling a paw over the edge to see how deep it was.

Rustheart backed out of the hole, it wasn't huge but it would defiantly work for the rabbit. He nodded a 'yes' and looked at Darkpaw. " I think that should be deep enough." he said to the apprentice. His formerly white paws are now stained brown by the dirt. He scraped his paws in the grass as well but to no avail.

Darkpaw watched as the older cats dug the grave for the hideous creature. It was getting pretty dark and he was beginning to become a little antsy, he wanted to go to bed and as far away from the moors as possible. When he was informed that the grave was done, Darkpaw scrunched up his nose. Taking a deep breath, he ducked his head down and grabbed hold of the rabbits scruff, half carrying half dragging it to the hole. It took him a few moments to get there as Darkpaw kept tripping over the long body. When he got there, he could hardly hold his breath anymore. With a quick movement, he threw it into the grave and let out a gasp for air. He had held his breath so that he wouldn't breath in the horrible stench of the half shredded rabbit. "I'll help you cover it." he offered as he began to kick the dirt back over it. Although it looked gross, it would supply the ground with sufficient nutrients to help the grass and other things grow. That was the circle of life, one was born, lived the life, and when one died, you were returned to the earth that supplied the prey with food to eat, thus giving them food to eat. He knew that it was a strange way to think of it, but he couldn't help but think of it as a cycle.

Ravenstrike pawed the final scoop of dirt onto the rank pile and stepped away, pleased that they had made short work of their task. "I think that should do it, thank you Darkpaw," she said, yawning shortly after. It was getting late, and the formerly bright sky was now ink black. The moon shone brightly through whispy clouds, and the land below was bathed in silvery light. "I think it's time to head back," she said, looking around the small group to see if they agreed.

(Short, sorry xc)

"I think that's a great idea, the only thing on my mind is curling up in a ball and forgeting about that thing" Rustheart chuckled. He looked at Ravenstrike and smiled shyly, there was more on his mind than he had mentioned. His tail hung level with his back in a relaxed way as he began to walk back towards the camp. He stayed fairly close to Ravenstrike as he slowly made his way.

Ravenstrike smiled up at him, butterflies flapping madly in her stomach "that sounds lovely right now" she purred. Ravenstrike didn't want to say what was on her mind, there were many things, although he was definitely at the front. As she walked back with Rustheart her tail was held high, although they hadn't had a chance to hunt, and they had encountered that poor rabbit she was in strangely high spirits.
