Cracklekit.... Cracklekit murdered Vinekit?? Did he have some sort of motive? Why would he think it's ok to do something like that? Or, maybe, he had plans that the little kitten had seen, some secret that he had overheard, and Crackle decided he needed to take care of the possible leaking of information... jut the thought of that made Aster shudder. The wailing of Mapleface, Crackle's sister, rang loudly in Aster's mind... a sort of grief he never wanted to bear witness to again, and he rationalized it in thinking that only a blood relative could truly mourn so sincerely for a cat as awful as Crackle had been...

Bicolor eyes focus now on his leader, watching the way Bumblestar spoke, searching for any hidden thoughts or feelings about the matter... he came up empty. The only thing he could detect was her disgust at the murderer, her annoyance at the clan for being in an uproar without letting her really get a good word in, and perhaps some regret at losing Vinekit, who would have made a god warrior once he was grown. And it was then that Eveningdance's words really registered. Was he... was he questioning Bumblestar? Was that even allowed? Clearly he knew that being outspoken was practically asking to be ridiculed, but he spoke anyway. Asterpaw sort of admired that willingness to speak his mind despite the ire it may draw out of others.

At the same time, he felt his fur rise to a prickle at the disrespectful words. He had half a mind to defend his leader and mentor, yet part of him didn't think Bumblestar would take all that kindly to him wanting to fight her battles for her.

"If you don't like murderers getting a taste of their own medicine, maybe try holding your tongue," the siamese sneered in the large tom's direction. 'You'd probably have a completely different reaction if it was your kit who was killed in cold blood,' Asterpaw thought scathingly, though he did not voice this opinion out loud.
