Rabbitchatter | He/Him
Large long furred brown tabby tom with one white paw
—

Rabbitchatter managed to muster a half laugh, a pass at normalcy in hopes that Alderstep would accept it like nothing was wrong. Like he wasn’t spooked. He sat up off the wall now giving his shoulders a shake and raising a brow at the tom, both of them locking eyes for a moment. Was he formulating something to say? Coming up with a unique insult? Trying to make him melt into a puddle? He wasn’t quite sure, and the more he tried to get a read on him the more frustrated he became. What was it about restless nights that brought the worst out of him? He of all cats who wanted nothing but the chance to speak love and peace into others lives, now seemingly incapable of doing so. Of being himself. Frustration and exhaustion certainly were not his friends.

At Alders first words, he found himself taken aback. His eyebrows linking together over his forehead in curiosity. Cats are missing? A touch of empathy seemed to chip its way into his chest and his need to dissect and understand seemed to take a dominant stance. “Yes. All tha time.” rabbit offered, attempting to gauge exactly what Alders feelings were on the statement. He couldn’t quite place any of Alders family except for.. erm.. that one sister he had. What was her name? It slipped his mind. “Is your sister ok? Your apprentice?” Rabbit pressed, casting a sideways glance towards the warriors den entrance then back at him.

He couldn’t think of anybody he’d heard going missing lately, though he knew there was many. His focuses had primarily been on Springpaw… and maybe his absolutely infuriating lack of sleep. There was something related there, but he wasn’t willing to give that any attention at the moment. He was interested in this, whatever could get his mind distracted. His gaze trickled back towards Alderstep once more, his face still twisted in concern. As he took a seat he followed in suit, sweeping his own tail to conceal his singular white paw and dipping his head so they were on the same level. “Who’s uh’ missin?”
