FALCONPAW
Gonna make a heartthrob out of me...
This shouldn’t have felt as strange as it did.
Falconpaw should have felt at ease, walking next to Thistledown. That was his brother, after all. He should have been comfortable, should have felt like he could relax for the first time since Tigerstar disappeared. But… he didn’t. The stiffness wouldn’t leave his legs as they crossed the moors. Their mutual grief was so thick in the air, Falconpaw could taste its sourness laid heavily across his tongue. What was he supposed to do--how was he ever meant to recover--when he could not even find comfort in what family he had left? Falconpaw pressed his teeth together and shook his head.
They’d walked in silence this far, and continued to do so until they reached the top of a small rise. They faced the sun here; Falconpaw had to squint harshly into its midday light. He let his paws slow until he stopped entirely. He stared into the harsh light for several beats before saying, in a voice that was quiet and hoarse, ”I haven’t stopped looking for him. Any of them.” His shoulders started to sag before he forcefully shook himself out and made himself stand taller. Haggard as he looked and felt, he couldn’t be caught slouching. ”You haven’t either, have you?”

Thistledown
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Thistledown had been quiet as he walked alongside his brother, something that, in retrospect, wasn't out of the ordinary for him. But this was a lot heavier of a silence, one that seemed to suffocate even him.
And yet Thistledown didn't dare break it.
He was shocked when Falconpaw did.
For a moment, Thistledown said nothing, almost as if he didn't hear Falconpaw.
That silence didn't last, though. It was just one word, but it said it all.
"Never." He would never give up on the cats out there. He would never move on. Not until they were home safe, or he was dragging home their lifeless bodies.
In a way, it was a comfort, hearing the same reflected in his brother. To hear he hadn't given up. As worn out as Thistledown looked, a ghost of a smile spread on his maw as he looked to Falconpaw.
It was only a few words shared, but to Thistledown, those words meant everything. The rest of the Clan may have moved on, but now he knew he was not alone as they left him behind.
He could feel his eyes sting as tears pricked at the corners, threatening to spill. Maybe it wouldn't be the end of the world if they did.
"We're going to find them. They're out there, somewhere."
Now I'm slippin' through the cracks of your cold embrace
