Obviously she was upset with him, he knew she would be. But he couldn't see how he was in the wrong, the tabby was nothing but a product of his environment after all. "you forfeited the opportunity to put the needs of yourself above the needs of this clan." He couldn't stand for that.

"I have to disagree. Looking after yourself is looking after your clan. We're living things, we need to take care of our mental health before we can serve the clan to the best of our abilities. He tried to keep his tone respectful. Talking to authority figures definitely was not a skill he possessed, though situations like this made him wish he did. In all honesty he wasn't good at talking period.

"What guarantees do I have that you will not simply wander off for some 'me time' again, hmmm? We are approaching leafbare, and have 2 separate queens expecting kits during that season. I need committed warriors who are going to put the needs of our dependents before their own."

"You would have to consider me quite stupid to believe I would do such a thing again. And I came back didn't I? "Pigeonhop replied. "I never meant for my absence, and I don't believe it's fair to view that as a sign of my commitment. "

"My whole life I've always tried to the best of my abilities to work hard for Thunderclan, and I have no plans to quit now. All I can give you my word for now, but all I'm asking is for an opportunity to prove my loyalty with my actions." His green eyes tried did the closest he could manage to meeting her gaze. Waiting to see if he did anything other than dig himself a deeper hole.
