Echostar's eyes lit up, both in relief and joy at Crescentpaw's answer. The weight on his shoulders seemed lighter, the burden lifting slightly. His tail waved and curled around his legs, a warm feeling rushing through him at the thought that finally his Clan would have an official medicine cat once more. Just say the words... Give him his name and then this ordeal will finally be over... We won't be weak anymore... It occurred to him there that some cats would be upset with his decision, still hanging onto the hope that their former medicine cat would return to them. He flicked his tail, eyeridges creasing downward into a frown. They have to get used to it... We can't wait!

He parted his jaws slowly, neck and head lifting as his forepaws shifted closer to the edge of the Big Boulder. Now was the time. Blood roared in his ears, heating in his veins in excitement as he prepared the words. Before he could though, before he could even utter the end of the ceremonial speech, a distressed half-cry spouted from Crescentpaw. Startled, Echostar gazed down at the young tom as he glanced up at him, eyes misted over with a distraught expression before he turned away. The Bengal followed Crescentpaw's gaze, his own eyes traversing the mass of cats to the back. What had made him - ?

His blood ran cold.

A sinking feeling burned in the pit of his stomach; his paws felt like the boulder's surface would disappear from underneath him. His mouth dried, throat spasming slowly; up and down up and down without moisture. His tongue dragged across the cavern of his mouth, over the ridges of its roof. A shiver tingled down his spine; his head lifted higher, as if to gain a better view at the figure at the back. Swallowing, he called, voice a mixture of grief and astonishment.

"Flightfoot?"

Starclan I spoke to soon...

Did they all really miss him? He could understand if they were angry at him, he had left. He had left all of his duties behind, for what? The life alone, the life without his friends and family. Family....Crescentpaw was his foster son pretty much, he cared so much for that youngin', it made him angry with himself that he had left in the first place. And to hurt Twilightsnow, that pained him even more. He didn't want to leave, but something seemed to draw him to the outside world, outside of the clanlife. It certaintly wasn't at all enjoyable.

He swallowed hard, he wanted this to be Crescentpaw's day, for his day had already come and gone. Crescentpaw deserved this, he had to put up with the loneliness, the stress, and of course the pain.

Wait...was he staring at him?

Flightfoot stiffened, he looked like he was in so much grief. Now he regretted leaving even more. Fighting his emotions he only gave a smile, a genuine smile. One that Flightfoot had always given, when he felt that he could so freely express his emotions to others. That wasn't all though. There seemed to be a second pair of eyes upon him. His blue eyes hot up to the top of the Bigboulder.

"Flightfoot?"

He nodded his head, the smile seemed to grow, his words were truthful, and his smile genuine, but his blue gaze stayed forever sharp. He shifted his weight a bit, and relaxed, feeling truly at home. "Please continue Echostar."
