The sand and cream colored felt her sister move back a little, and swallowed a little at the first words, but her muscles relaxed and a slight chuckle even escaped her when Sparrowflight mentioned this experience being enough for punishment. She perked up a little when her mother and littermate were mentioned, but with every second of Sparrowflight's trail-off, she felt a sinking feeling in her stomach. Got it, they were gone. Of course she wouldn't be allowed to be quite that happy.

She remembered Cindersky vaguely, and it made sense for an older cat to take over, but it didn't seem that leadership had lasted too long. Killed by a badger. Tulippaw could clearly hear the pain in her sister's voice, and understood that she and the leader must have gotten closer when working on getting Thunderclan back on it's feet. But then Sparrowflight said something more, and Tulippaw's somewhat sympathetic expression disappeared, her face becoming completely blank.

"Wha..."

She went over the words in her head again. Before the leader had lost her last life, Sparrowflight had been the deputy. But... no- that had to mean... "Sparrow...star, then?" The name tasted so... odd on her tongue. Her sister? As leader? It wasn't impossible of course, it had never been. It was just... Stars, she should really have been here for that.
