Munkustrap looked at Alonzo, wishing he could tell his friend everything going on with him - Deuteronomy's pet troubles, the kittens, his siblings, all getting sick, Quaxo, Bomba, Demeter, Macavity, Burelle being his mother... but he couldn't. "Alonzo... thank you," he said quietly. "For your support." Even if he couldn't tell Alonzo everything, and get the load off his chest, Alonzo's unconditional faith in him really helped. He didn't necessarily agree with Alonzo, but it helped.

Mali started to cough up a storm. Aprilli coughed as well, nearly panting after each cough. Electra went tapped her mother repeatedly. " MAMA!!!" She finally said after being ignored.

Burelle continued to groom her kittens, licking and nuzzling Aprilli and Mali, trying to soothe their coughing with massages and purring. She hoped Ritzkin would bring Deuteronomy back, and soon!

Electra finally gave up and went to lay back down. Mali pulled away from her mother slightly, still coughing. Aprilli started having trouble breathing and didn't cough that much.
Belle whined. She wanted to play. But it was obvious, or at least that's what it seemed to her, that Tumble was afraid of her. She didn't want that.... She just wanted a friend that would play with her.

Burelle continued to fuss over the kittens, trying to get Aprilli breathing without much difficulty again.
Tumble came back, bringing Belle a rat that he had caught. He set the dead creature down and nudged it toward her. "Here. Eat."

Selina put her paws over her ears. She had been in a comfortable sleep, well, a comfortable nap. She unsheather her claws annoyed, but since her paws were over her ears, the claws poked her ears. She jumped up with a yelp, a small dot of blood slowly apearing in her white fur. She frowned, then grunted and sheathed her claws. She laid back down and put her paws over her ears again as Aprilli and Mali went into a coughing fit. She pushed down on her ears, but the sound still made it through clearly. "Can't some shut them up!" She finaly yelled, well croaked. She had been having a bit of a tickle in her throat. And her nose had been running, and she had been coughing, and shivering, even though her body was really warm. BUT SHE WASN'T SICK! No, no she couldn't be sick. She coughed again, then sneezed. Nope, not sick at all.

"Hush," Burelle said, being a bit shorter with Selina than usual. "They're sick. They can't help it." She glanced over at Selina and frowned. "And so, it seems, are you. Heaviside... is there an epidemic going around?" She shook her head before looking down at her two sons, both healthy - for the moment. Maybe Bombalurina would be so kind as to baby-sit them, to keep them away from the sick sisters. They should be opening their eyes soon. She sighed and resumed her caring for the sick kittens, praying they get over this.

Selina was about to come back with a sarcastic remark, but then realized Pussine was missing. She frowned and rested her head in her head on her paws again. She was really sure the kitten would come around, she had. She had figured it out the moment she saw the kitten was missing. The kitten hadn't eaten at all, Pussine had died. She closed her eyes, then opened them at Burelle's sick comment, a frown on her face. "I'm. Not. Sick!" She spat angrily, before going into a coughing fit. She sneezed, then looked at Burelle again. "I'm not sick." She muttered.

"Then you're doing a good job of impersonating the sick ones," Burelle said, turning her attention back to her younger children (she was already considering Selina one of her kittens). "Lie still and try to breathe slowly. Rest. It'll help with your impressions."

Alonzo nodded. "Anytime, 'Straps." He sighed and went back to digging, feeling the ground numb his paws. They were barely getting anywhere with the hole, and the longer they were out here the harder it got to even continue.

Munkustrap tore up a chunk of the frozen ground and stopped, closing his eyes. "A bit more to the left," he said, his voice strained. He had revealed a bit of black fur peeking through the dirt. They had found Pussine's brother.

Alonzo felt his throat close, a dose of dizziness washing over him as he, too, spotted the black fur. He swallowed it and moved according to Munk's orders. He dug into the ground with new strength, wanting to finish the job.

Munkustrap silently joined Alonzo, focusing all his attention on the earth. Just a little bit more, and then they'd have a hole big enough for Pussine. She was such a tiny kitten still... why did she have to die? Why did her brother have to die? Would they lose the other two queen kits? What about Leathik? Would Simeon survive? Could he survive, if he lost all five of his siblings, or would he pine away too? And even if he didn't pine... he was a calico tom. Munkustrap had never met a calico tom before, but had heard stories about how they were always... odd.
When the hole was big enough, Munkustrap went to pick up Pussine. She was even colder now, without Burelle's body keeping her warm, and there was some blown snow sticking to her fur. Munkustrap brushed her off as he cradled her in his arms again, returning to Alonzo's side.
