Needlesong wasn’t okay. He’d gone on a walk to calm his nerves initially, but soon found himself wandering aimlessly, mind fuzzy with barely restrained panic. He wasn’t fit to be a deputy! He was barely in camp to begin with, and while a social cat, he needed to be by his lonesome more often than one might expect. And that wasn’t even getting into the paranoia that had been leaking into his mind ever since Daisyfire’s body showed up at the border-
He barely registered he had crossed over the river before he looked down at his soaked legs, chest heaving as he tried to even out his breathing, looking around.
Foxdung, this was Sunclan territory, this was a bad place to have a panic attack.
Nonetheless, he sat down. Continuing to wander would be a bad idea, as his legs might carry him closer to Sunclan camp, and it really wouldn’t do to be killed on his first day as deputy. His brain was far too foggy to register if there had been any cats nearby, much less wildlife. It didn’t matter now. He needed to rest his body and mind.

HOP Hop had decided to take the time to (warily) walk through the territory on his own. It wasn't at all a smart idea, what with his borderline inability to run anywhere very far in a straight line, and with new developments in how their numbers were shifting. First Beestar, now these two... What or who was next? He didn't want to think about that any longer, hence the walk.
His wavering walk had led him near the river border, his paws coming to a halt as he suddenly became aware of that fact. The fur down his spine only bristled when he realized that there was someone else there with him, and that the air was heavier with MoonClan scent then it should be.
He crept closer best he could, settling only just a bit of weight on his bad leg as he ducked down and found his attention on Needlesong. His heart was pounding with bit-back anxiety, until he realized that this other warrior wasn't really... doing anything. He kept hidden for another, slower heartbeat that belonged to any cat that wasn't him, before he slowly poked his head out of the brush and made a cautious approach. "Hey- Are you okay there?" he managed to ask, trying to mask his worries with a tougher attitude and tone.

Needlesong let out a small groan at first, rubbing at his face as he tried to process the words said to him, “y-yeah.” He forced out after a moment, swaying a little before deciding to lay his head down, realizing he was too hazy to stand, “I’m… F-fine.” He mumbled, realizing how unconvincing that sounded with a small wince.
Was this how it was going to end? Panicked and dissociated within Sunclan territory, set upon by a warrior he could hardly even see through his blurry eyes?
It’d be like him to go out like that, he thought bitterly.

HOP Hop gave him a bit of a look, glancing over him. He really should just tell this guy to shove off and leave, go be dazed and depressed somewhere else, but he frowned a little instead. "... Any particular reason you're here on SunClan territory?" he tried, much more in favor of not having to draw blood. Well, he didn't like doing much talking either, but he can manage this he thinks.

He laid there a long moment, considering the other cat's words, mumbling out a "should've just stayed with Owlwhisker..." Under his breath before speaking up, "I suppose not. I was taking a walk to clear my head, got disoriented, crossed the river thinking I was on Sunclan soil and now I'm here." He huffed, rolling onto his side in defeat.
"I can't even see a kittenstep in front of me and I'm too dizzy to walk. There's no way I'm making it back across like this." He lamented, "if you're gonna kill me, do it now while it's easy. Maul me like you did Daisyfire and Rosebloom, at least in Starclan I won't have to have blood on my paws due to a war."

HOP The fur along his spine prickled uneasily at its words, the remains of his tail rising a bit. "I wouldn't- What?" He connected a few dots a little. MoonClan cats, two of them slaughtered as well? "That... That doesn't make sense. You MoonClanners... you lot killed Shadepool and Darkcinder." His ears pinned back a moment, eyes staying on Needlesong before yet another detail stuck out, something that he almost missed amongst all else that was said.
"You know Owlwhisker?" He hadn't heard or seen the tom in a while, assuming he did as he said he was going to do and live in the distant twolegplace. Of course he would lie, no one would ever want to live in that rat-ridden place, he concluded. But Owlwhisker of all cats coming up with a lie was not something that could be easily believed. He was almost too honest half the time.

“If it was really MoonClan cats that killed whoever those two were, our leader certainly didn’t speak a word of it.” Needlesong huffed out, “not some secret planned assault, either. If it was I would’ve heard of it with how many I talk to.” He glanced in Hop’s general direction. “Glad to know I’m not dying today, though. It’d be unbecoming of a deputy to pass less than a sunrise after his ceremony,” he let out a grim chuckle at his own joke.
“Of course I know Owlwhisker. He’s been helping me with my nighttime anxieties this past quarter-moon.” He hummed fondly, “well- general anxieties, really. I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t dissociating from a panic attack,” he snorted, internally bashing himself for not staying in camp like he probably should’ve, “she’s been taking care of two little ones. Phosphorkit and… I can’t remember the other one’s name for the life of me, but that’s besides the point.” He paused a moment, “how do you know Owlwhisker?”
