Springkit
He returned the little smile that he got, not quite managing to make it reach eyes blue and yellow eyes that still shone faintly of concern. He had learned pretty recently that 'just thinking' could be 'just thinking about this one fun thing and daydreaming' but also often was something cats said when they were in fact not fine but didn't have the energy to actually explain that.
A lot of things had happened recently. Springkit was very (
very) aware of that, but it was partially that that made him want to check in on his clanmates, especially if they seemed tense. If a lot of things had happened
to Goldfish... well that could be very bad.
Springkit was just trying to think of some follow-up questions to ask to see if he could figure out the potential issue (maybe then he could ask Misty to check on them? She seemed to have a way of making cats feel better, even without herbs), when he looked at the queen again... and saw the look on her face. Wait, what was wrong now? He blinked at her, concern and almost panic flashing over his expression at the... horror, on Goldfish's face. He followed her gaze... to Rosehawk?
"oh, hi rosie" And when he looked at Goldfish again... she seemed perfectly fine with a stable and neutral voice.
Springkit didn't have much to comment on right now, look from queen to queen as they talked. Not liking to speak about her past? Somewhere in Springkit a natural drive of curiosity sparked, but stronger than that was the worry in his gaze. Then the next sentence.
'Abandoned one too many times.' "abandoned...?" It sent a little shiver through the small kitten, and he had to press his paws firmly into the dirt and moss under him so as not to stake the two steps between him and Goldfish and press his forehead against her shoulder.
