➵ [ sleethound | he/him ]

why shiningskies decided to propose a test run on nectarflame and not firebird, the cat who'd literally attacked an apprentice at a gathering, was beyond sleethound. so far, it seemed like the cats who had spoken up thought the same as him for the most part. but oh, of course, nothing could be simple in a clan like thunderclan. his daughter climbing up the thunderwillow and suggesting execution made him frown. annoyance bubbled inside of him - how dare cinderpaw go up there and just embarrass herself - no, embarrass him like that?

"cinderpaw!" he barked, tone gaining a new coldness to it. "get down from there. now." did she not see that there were more important matters than nectarflame? and where in the world was shallowshiver, they should be here attempting to drag their daughter off of the thunderwillow. he grit his teeth together, clenching his jaw for a few moments.

"cindersky is right. nectarflame's reason of bringing shadowclan here was because she thought we were a weak clan, was it not? we've proven her wrong, shadowclan is gone. our main priority should be the warrior who attacked an apprentice at a gathering, a night that is supposed to be one of peace."

people died all of the time - he'd witnessed multiple (some may or may not have been caused by his own claws), it did not faze him. nectarflame's death wouldn't either, but he thought it was pretty pointless to kill her. it wouldn't bring firkit back, or lionpaw, who decided his own fate that night. he had the choice to stop, he didn't. in his view, it seemed dawnstar's invasion worked, too.

the scarred toms eyes narrowed, glaring up at cinderpaw from the den he was guarding. "if you want nectarflame to be executed so badly, then attempt it yourself. just know that you'll be just as bad as the cats you hate so much." and be seen as an embarrassment.
