Frankly, he was disgusted and he didn't hide the contempt as he squared up with the old man.

"How dare you?!" Though Wolfhive had tried to keep his composure, it was cracking from his anger and thus, his voice raised. "You knock up some she-cat and blatantly ignore not only her as she dies during kitting, but the children produced afterward?" Wolfhive's paw jerked to jab Spiderthroat in the chest. Wouldn't hurt him - well, not in a way that'd draw blood, but might hammer in how serious this was. "You're supposed to be a deputy. Cats're supposed to look up to you - so get your head out of your freakin' ass 'n act like it. Take responsibility for your actions and take care of your kits! It shouldn't be just on Softdaisy to raise 'em, it's on YOU as their goddamn father."

Another jab.

"And if you keep trying to ignore them, you'll have more to worry about than just being yelled at in the clearing!"

A final hiss, his tail lashing. "Do I make myself clear, Spiderthroat?"

Softdaisy
She/Her

If Wolfhive was angry, Softdaisy was exactly the same amount of pissed, or probably even more. She'd been half in, half out of the Nursery - trying to keep an eye on the kits in the clearing and the ones behind her in the den - when the Head Hornet's voice reached her ears. Spotting the object of his attention instantly proved to sour her mood - the reason behind why she'd been avoiding looking at the dilute calico tom for too long.

Hearing Wolfhive lay into their shared frustrating Clanmate had sparks of satisfaction bursting in Softdaisy's heart. She'd had to practically jump him with the kittens to get him to interact with her sweet, innocent little baby bugs that one time. So damn her if she was angry about it! Her littermate had died to give birth to his kits, and he was being an ungrateful ass!

The irritation in Softdaisy's expression only doubled when Spiderthroat said nothing. Nothing at all. "Tch. He doesn't even bother to respond. Typical. Some deputy." Softdaisy bristled, voice laced with annoyance. Spiderthroat just aimed to add negative point after negative point in her book, didn't he?
