beetleskip decided not to say anything this time, only giving an acknowledging hum in response. he didn't want to say anything more, in fear of saying something embarrassing or saying something that would lead to even more embarrassment on beetleskip's end. he felt better when he didn't speak anyways, and risingcreek seemed to be able to carry the conversation just fine on his own. even if it had shifted its focus to beetleskip, which he wasn't a fan of, beetleskip had to be honest with himself and say that he sort of enjoyed risingcreek. not just his compliments or his appearance, but his personality was one that beetleskip couldn't seem to ignore. risingcreek just seemed so genuine, so happy, despite being older and having little to no familial connections within the clan. he seemed so happy to just be, and beetleskip supposed he found that rather admirable. to just be happy to exist, to have air going in and out of your lungs and enough sleep at night. he liked that about risingcreek. it made him reflect on some of his own thoughts for a moment before his attention came back to the tom beside him. he attempted to change the subject.

" you are an older warrior, you must have sacrificed many things to get where you are, " he murmured, giving risingcreek a sideglance as he addressed him, " does that not bother you? "
