B. Stay and make sure Featherfall doesn't tell anyone about the bite~~
Featherfall jumped off of his rock and began walking towards the exit. Aspenstripe panicked, he had promised Jay that he wouldn't let the word get out. The only sure way to make Featherfall stay quiet was to distract him.
Featherfall: "We're not having a bite victim live among us."
Aspenstripe: "What are the chances nothing happens?? Please, don't tell them! It's our problem, not yours!"
Featherfall: "It always happens. You'll see."
Aspenstripe: "...Why don't you help me look for Astro instead? What if he gets bit too while we're arguing here?"
Featherfall: "No, I'm staying. If your infected friend lays a paw on Crowheart, I'll be there. I'll put the brainless piece of walking flesh down!"
Aspenstripe: "Calm down, he won't turn until his fever sets in! And that probably won't be for a day at least."
Featherfall: "I know how these things work!"
Featherfall walked straight past Aspenstripe and headed to the main room where everyone else was resting. Aspenstripe had to keep his promise and ran after him.
Featherfall: "Everyone--"
Aspenstripe: "Keep your mouth shut, Featherfall!"
The two instantly grabbed everyone's attention. Jay peeked out to make sure Aspenstripe would keep his promise. He narrowed his eyes at the golden tom as a sign of threat.
Crowheart: "What's going on?"
Aspenstripe: "Featherfall, please!"
Featherfall: "..."
Crowheart: "It's okay, you can tell us, whatever it is."
Smoke: "I smell drama."
Aspenstripe: "Featherfall!"
Featherfall: "..."
Aspenstripe: "Can we discuss this elsewhere?"
Featherfall: "Fine."
Jay nodded to Aspenstripe. By that time he'd figured out that Featherfall knew and relied on Aspenstripe to keep the crazy tom from telling everyone.
Aspenstripe: "Wait, where are Silverfur and Goldenstar?"
Crowheart: "Silverfur's outside keeping a watch, Goldenstar said he had to go look for someone."
Aspenstripe: "Astro..."
Aspenstripe ran outside. To his misfortune, it was snowing. Silverfur seemed displeased but put up with it regardless for the safety of the group.
The tracks in the snow had already been covered. At least it wasn't windy... yet.
Aspenstripe: "Silverfur! Did you see which way Goldenstar went?"
Silverfur: "To your left. I don't suppose you can see any tracks in the snow?"
Aspenstripe: "I can barely see anything, snow's getting into my eyes!"
Featherfall: "I think it's fair you at least tell your leader."
Silverfur: "Tell me what?"
Aspenstripe: "...nothing!"
Silverfur: "Alright... You know, Aspenstripe, secrets are often the reason why groups fall apart. If there's something you need to tell me, go ahead, I won't be mad at you. You are my deputy, after all."
Aspenstripe: "Uhh... Astro and Goldenstar are both out there in the cold, we should look for them!"
Silverfur: "I'll stay here and guard the entry. If you aren't back in an hour, I'm sending a search party."
Aspenstripe: "A search party? I am the search party! First Goldenstar, then me, please don't risk any more lives!"
Silverfur: "I'll have to, it's the responsible thing to do. I want to be a good leader, after all."
Featherfall: "I know the surroundings like the back of my paw. I guess I could drag along and make sure that you don't get lost."
Aspenstripe: "Really? That would be great! Let's hurry before it gets even colder!"
Silverfur: "Stay safe, you two."
