Log:

Northstar has wandered off, again and sits by the pond crying, a couple novices come to her and she growls a little and bolts to the orchards where she finds one of the trees she knows is ok to climb and climbs into it and just cries again as she sits on one of the thicker branches.   

Xander makes his way to the same area looking for Northstar and finally finding her as he calls up "Northstar...come down please...please"   

Ferro frowns as he has been trying to find a sunny place to sleep when he sees his granddaughter rush past him and followed by Xander. He gets up slowly. He has heard the news about Oz, it as not till this morning, a day after the death, that he heard and had seeked out Krisha but didn't find her, he walks closer and waits to speak.   

Northstar sniffs and looks down "No...not wanna. Goona stay up here forevers and evers."   

Xander frowns, He sits at the bottom of the tree for now as it would likely be unwise and unsafe to also climb the tree, one small badger is enough for now, it doesn't need a full grown badger also, that and the branches are not the best really.   

Ferro speaks "I...heard about Oz. Isssssssss Krisha alright, how issssssss sssssssshe handleing thissssssss?" He goes to kneel by the badger, "How isssss you?"   

Northstar looks down and starts to slowly climb down getting to where she is about 1/4 from the ground and gasps as a branch she palces her foot paw on breaks and takes her, and the branch..down towards the ground.It would seem the branch was damaged a little in the storm and extra weight finished breaking it as the badger cub screams.   

Xander frowns "I am.." Lighting fast reflexes as he jumps upright and barely catches Northstar, he does tumble back a little onto his bottom and holds the cub close , "Northstar...I got ya, daddy has you, are you ok?"   

Ferro tenses and then relaxes when the cub is caught.His tail moves slightly and coils up, if that branch was some vermin he likely tear it to bits, but its just a tree branch.   

Northstar hugs him close and sobs, finally a nod though "My..ankle hurts....and I miss Unca Oz..wana Uncle Oz backs....wanna him back." Tears go down her face.   

Xander sighs sadly"Me too."He just holds her, the ankle can be looked at later as he frowns.With Oz dead is..is he in charge of the Winters Clan, is there even one still as he sighs."Guess...all his clan is..together at least"   

Ferro listens and speaks "You are...still his clan, alsssssssssssssso issssssss Krisha and Northstar, Clan...or family issssss not just by blood, like me and Krisha....sssssssshe and me isssssss family"   

Northstar looks over at Ferro and reaches out to him also, hey he is grandpa to her after all.   

Xander nods and smiles "Your right.."He lets Northstar go to the monitor and smiles a little again "But also...wrong, there is 4 in the Winters caln still..me, Krisha, Northstar...and you Ferro," He adds "As you said Krisha is your family, she is my family and that makes you my and Krisha's family. Your her father and when me and her married it made you my father in law and me your son in law, so...we are family."He holds out a paw "Want it to be more offcial..fine..Ferro Winters, welcome to the clan"
   
Ferro hugs his granddaughter and then stares at Xander, he looks to his paw and grins. He does grasp it and then hugs the badger as well"We are..family"   

Northstar blinks and then smiles"Family...Family forevers and evers." She hugs them both.Then frowns again as if remembering something.
   
Xander nods "Yes family" He goes to hug Northstar "We will be ok, we will...lets see about your ankle, we can go to the infirm"   

Ferro nods, he offers to carry the cub and they can head to the infirm and maybe get lunch.   

Northstar nods and lets Ferro carry her. "I not eat breakfast....hungry"The lunch bell rings shortly after her ankle is bandaged, not broke just a very bad sprang ankle and it will bruise. They will need to mention that branch but it didn't damage the tree, the tree is fine and strong as ever..but where the branch broke may need trimed and cut a little to even it out, but all is well and Lunch is some nice cheese, pear slices, mixed berry tarts and some rolls with a drink.
