By the next morning

Lionel's distressed mood didn't improve when one of Bright Moon's and Quelt's kids showed up. He glanced towards the small kid, barely two seasons old, and let his ears fall further back against his head. He didn't enjoy feeling so useless. He clenched his teeth together and forced himself to look away from Night. He couldn't form any more words and he didn't want to explain to the pup what had happened.

He slowly removed his paw, barely hearing Leo's words, as he backed away from Quelt's body. It was then that he noticed that Amalia had arrived. He watched silently as she went to Quelt first. A tiny spark of hope fluttered through him before it quickly died once more as Amalia moved on to Bright Moon. Quelt was gone. He'd spent the last of his energy talking until his dying breath. His hope didn't come back as Amalia inspected Bright before pulling away and padding back over to them. That was it. There was nothing Amalia could do which meant they were both gone.

His tail hung limply as he looked between the wolves gathered. One more of the other kids had arrived and he barely registered that Amalia was speaking to them. Thoughts ran rampant through his head. What if he'd managed to get there sooner? They wouldn't have needed to die. His frown deepened before his attention flickered briefly to Amalia as she spoke to him. She wanted him to get lavender? Ears flicked forward as he remembered the purple plant before he turned his attention to Leo. He was grateful he would be taking the kids. Lionel really couldn't stand to look at them. The fact they'd lost both their parents in such a short span of time made his heart break.

"Okay, I'll meet you there." He said softly before trotting off to go find some lavender.
