The warrior couldn't bear to leave camp at this point, at least not alone. There was enough hustle and bustle to keep his mind off of the grief that lay heavy in his heart like a stone. Beansprout took it upon himself to note all who came and left the camp, perhaps briefly greet a cat or two as they went about their day. But someone else caught his attention. Pebblesplash, who was grooming herself and then lay down and closed her eyes. A prickle of remorse shot through him; Beansprout wished he could get to know Pebblesplash better. The last time -- and quite possibly the only time they had interacted was during the last meeting. With a newfound determination, the siamese set off in Pebblesplash's direction, clearing his throat to hopefully alert her of his presence before he spoke.

"Hey. I know the last time we spoke wasn't exactly... on the best of terms, but I just wanted to talk a bit, maybe get to know each other?" His head tilted as his voice raised in question. "I know I... may not have exactly made the best impression at the last meeting. Emotions were all over the place and it was chaotic. But I do want you -- and everyone else -- to know that I really care for RiverClan, and seeing it the way it was at the meeting just kinda snapped something in me. And I snapped too. So I'm sorry for maybe not making a good impression, but I do stand by what I said."

Pebblesplash’s ears folded as the voice rang through her ears… She decided to listen, though refusing to open her eyes due to her slightly relaxed state, Nothing personal! As she listened, her head tilted… An apology…? Lashing her tail a little bit, her eyes opened as she met his gaze calmly… “I get it, we’re all upset… I’ve been beating myself up because I wasn’t physically well enough to fight the dogs…” While speaking, she let out a quivered sigh…

“But,” she cleared her throat, “Anger doesn’t fix anything, and the last thing GingerFrost and PikeStar needed to hear was such… Discouraging words.” PebbleSplash was an empathetic cat, you could tell that by the sadness in her gaze. “And instead of showing them the kind of improvement we need, they both felt that they weren’t good for their roles.” It was weird that a cat was able to keep eye contact for this long, especially with the emotional vulnerability in her body language.

But even so, she continued to open up… “You must admit, they achieved much more than most others could’ve, and created an environment where we felt comfortable for quite some time…” Her voice was soft, like a mothers belly, or like a nest after a long day… speaking of her voice came to a quick mumble as she said; “Maybe a little too comfortable,” raising her voice back up, she gave a slow blink… “Regardless, they don’t deserve that disrespect.”

“I’m not mad at you either, and I apologize too… I let my emotions over take me at the meeting… I will forever be loyal to Pikestar because he saved me from two legs not too long ago… He saved my life and even injured himself in the process and it would be foolish of me to ignore that strength and care, especially since he had once lived with two legs…” Her gaze broke for one moment, as she darted her eyes to her paws then back up. You could feel the heat radiating off her face…

She must have feelings for PikeStar

After an excruciatingly long awkward silence, she brought the conversation back to the original topic… “Look, I can’t make you change your opinions, that’s not what I’m asking. I can’t ask you to do anything… but, I think both GingerFrost and PikeStar deserve an apology more than I ever did,” Once she finished speaking, she let her words sink in, still keeping her gaze…
