The Milkyway wonders in(open need SKC Patrol and leader or deputy)

Milkyway remained quiet after she spoke. She looked to them as Bubblepaw spoke up but she remained quiet for a moment

Rippedsky had entered camp not long after Bubblepaw. The two had come from different directions and failed to bump into each other before entering camp. He saw his daughter just as her and a strange cat disappeared into the medicine cat's den. His fur prickled uncomfortably at the thought of a non-Skyclan cat being in the camp walls. What is she doing? His kits had been raised to be much smarter than that. Without hesitation, the deputy immediately set off after her. Inside, Rabbitfoot had already set to work on treating the stranger. It was a kit. Instantly, his eyes shined with compassion for the poor scrap.

"Who is this?" Rippedsky meowed quietly to his kit.

"This is Milkyway. I found her laying by a bush. Her fur was matted and dirty and covered in blood so I groomed it and took her here to be healed. I was wondering if she could maybe join the clan? Since your in charge while Crowstar is on his 'little trip' I was wondering if you could let her stay?" Bubblepaw meowed flicking her fluffy tail.

Milkyway lifted her head slowly as her name was said. Her blue eyes looked to the Tom who came into the den. Her Brown ears perked a bit and looked from Bunblepaw to the Tom."h...hi"She mewed quietly.

The black and white deputy's mouth faltered, edging towards a deep frown. Crowstar had been skeptical about letting in strangers. How was he supposed to make a decision without his mentor? Despite their argument from nights before, the tom couldn't bring himself to be angry with his leader. Crowstar, wherever you are... I need you, He said silently to himself. It was a big decision to have to decide who stayed or who didn't. The clan did not owe anything to this loner. However, there was something that tugged at his conscious, against all reason. In that moment, Rippedsky did not care about how this cat could benefit their clan. He only cared that her wounds would be healed.

"She may stay for now." He meowed finally, making sure to only say for now. Rippedsky knew this would most likely turn into a long term thing. Yet he couldn't bring himself to turn down a cat in need. If only to just heal her wounds, the deputy would allow her to stay. With that, he nodded to the ground and turned to leave. Crowstar was probably out there somewhere cursing him. His eyes squeezed shut as he remembered their last moments together. Will that be the how you remember me to Starclan?

Bubblepaw let out a squeal and cat hugged her dad and licked him on the cheek before going track to the kit.
