@BILL.
The moment was fleeting, drifting away - Sparrowflight's comforting touch still burned in the deepest parts of their soul. (they briefly remember goldeneyes. she had never came back in the end.) The words she offered reassured them that Firkit was among the great and far from the fires that only sparked more and more, doubling in strength with every biting word - much where Lotuspaw wished they could be.

Perhaps if they closed their eyes, they could be a mewling kit again. Only knowing their siblings' warmth and their mother's touch. Yet they know it is all too far away to be a memory of fond nostalgic and not a cruel reminder they are helpless to the currents of life. Finding their self selfishly yearning the appreciation of another and a question that weighted heavy on their traumatized mind. (Do you like living here?)

A paw gently nudges against their shoulder and Lotuspaw is jerked back into reality. Twisting their neck to gaze at the offender it lands onto Jaystride and they quickly blink away the tears that blur their vision. It's futile because it seems as if increases ten-fold. The apprentice stares in confusion at the warrior, unsure if they missed something while wallowing in their thoughts.

Lotuspaw watches Jaystride begin to head out of camp and is quick to follow after. Whatever it is, it's an escape and they'll take it.
