Alonzo looked mournfully at the tiny kitten, then at the hole she was to be buried it. It seemed so pitiful, such a tiny little grave, near the tiny one for her brother. At least they'd be together again, and if the little kit was happy now than that was certainly good. But it was hard to think of it as anything other than a fatalistic sign of danger; a hopeless, sad case.
He didn't know if they were supposed to say something: there was nothing he could say about the kitten, other than he wished she would start moving in Munkustrap's arms right now.

Munkustrap looked down at his baby sister, unknowingly wishing the same thing as Alonzo, before he brushed a kiss between her still ears and laid her in the grave. "Rest in peace, Pussine. Run with your brother, be happy again," he said quietly, clasping his paws together.

Alonzo paused a moment, letting silence flow in respect for Pussine and her brother. Then he gently knelt down and began to cover the grave, letting Munkustrap have a moment if he needed one.

Munkustrap did need a moment, standing over the grave with his head bowed and eyes closed, a grief-stricken expression on his face. He knelt down after a minute to help Alonzo finish burying the black kittens.
"I have to find Old Deuteronomy," Munkustrap said when they finished, one paw still resting on the freshly-dug earth. "Before it's too late for the other two."

Selina frowned. "What can I say, I'm a good actress." She grumbled frowning, but never the less, she stayed still. She couldn't make herself go to sleep just yet, but he could stay still. She coughed, then let in a deep breath, slowly blowing it out. She didn't like being sick. Her mother got sick before she died. Was she going to die? Did she have the some thing her mother had(luekmea even though I know I just butchered that word in spelling.)? Her eyes widened, she stood up, SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DIE! She had made it this far! It would be such a same to die now! She started to take short, shallow, horrified breathes, almost screaming as she coughed again. She ran over to Burelle. "I'm sick!" She confessed, in a stressed voice, then went into another coughing fit.

Mali, along with her sister Aprilli, began to have breathing troubles, along with coughing and sneezing. Electra laid down, watching them, hoping that they would be alright. || Sorry that I wasn't on sooner... I was at a party at Putt-Putt.....||

"Come here, kitten," Burelle said, stretching out a paw to make room for Selina next to Aprilli and Mali. "Here baby. You're going to be all right." She began licking and nuzzling Selina as well as her kittens, purring loudly to comfort all three of them.

Alonzo nodded. "You go. I'll make sure everything is under control here. And if you don't come back within a day or so, I'm sending someone else to help you look."

"He should be at his house," Munkustrap said. "If he's not there... I don't know where else to look." He gave Alonzo another nuzzle before getting up. "Thank you again, for helping. Burying kittens is the hardest part of my job."

As Alonzo stood, he nuzzled gently back. "Anything I can do to help, you know I will. Not just as a Guardian, as your friend." He placed a reassuring paw on his shoulder. "God's speed, and all that, okay?"

Munkustrap smiled faintly at Alonzo. "Keep the yard, and the cats in it, safe. You may want to check in on Tumblebrutus, see how he and his new Pollicle friend are getting along. I should be back soon."

Selina let out a sigh. Calming down a bit now. She didn't have the same thing her mother had. Her mother had different symptoms, her mom was always throwing up, and all that good stuff. She frowned though. "Great, I'm sick." She muttered with a sigh. She rested her head on her paws again, looking at the kittens. "Are they gonna survive?" She said with a frown.
Cassandra crept out of her den, squinting as the light hit her eyes. She stretched out arching her back and letting out a yawn. She didn't really want to sleep in the piano again. Burelle's kittens were sick, and she heard Selina sniffing and coughin yesterday. What ever was going around, this queen sure did not want to get it. She was concerned about Burelle's kittens though. Poor Pussine was barely even twitching yesterday, and now all the rest were coughing? Poor Burelle, she most be worried out of her mind! She shivered because of the cold weather and started to head out to the piano, she wanted to check on poor Pussine.

"I don't know," Burelle said, continuing to lavish attention on the kittens. When Cassandra entered, she sighed in relief. "Cassandra! I need a favor..." She nudged Leathik and Simeon away from her. "Can you take care of these two for a while? I don't want them getting sick too."

Cassandra smiled. "Of course." She said taking both kitten in her two front paws. "Should I take them to my den? It doesn't have sick germs floating around." She asked steping back as Selina coughed. She looked at the litter and noticed that Pussine was missing, and in her place, was Selina. She looked around the room for the kitten with a small frown pasted on her face. "Where is little Pussine?" She asked. She noticed that Selina hid her face in her paws as she asked. Cassandra frowned, she was pretty sure she knew the answer now.

"No," Burelle said, glancing over at Cassandra. "They can't go out in the cold. Just take them to the other side of the piano. If they get hungry, I can feed them, but otherwise, try to keep them either asleep or occupied. They should be opening their eyes soon." She glanced away as Cassandra asked about Pussine, her voice taking on that detatched note again. "Pussine is gone." There was a brief pause as she made sure she had the right name. "Munkustrap went to bury her with her brother."
