DUSKLION
she/her | riverclan deputy | 29 moons

By the time she had made it back to camp, Dusklion just felt... drained. Empty. She did her best to keep the mask up as she padded through camp and into her brother's den, but once inside, she felt as though all she wanted to do was cry. In order to counteract this though, the deputy had decided to plaster a scowl on her face. Yeah, that would work. Her brother wouldn't see that she had just gotten her heartbroken hopefully..."Hey, Fades? You got a sec? Got... got somethin' to report." Well, something outside of her heart having been shattered into absolute pieces. The tough cat act had been just that at the border - an act. Why had she flirted with Stags?? Why?? Had it even succeeded in making Wists - Wisteriawren - jealous? The dark tabby wasn't sure.

Lifting her gaze from the walls of the den to her brother she let out a huff. "'Bout a ways deeper into the mountains there's a split in the ground. Not super deep, easy enough to jump over, but the scent of another group of cats is all over it, almost like it's a border. Didn't see any of 'em, but we might wanna... keep an eye out." Had they unintentionally wandered into another groups territory? It wasn't often there were organized scent markers like that - strong ones, too.

...But as much as she was probably expected to care about all this, Dusklion was looking at the ground as her paws fidgeted irritably, still-healing tail whipping back and forth behind her as her ears were drawn back. "Stupid, stupid... why? Who is it? Who does she..." the dark tabby muttered quietly under her breath, mostly to herself.
