Snakepaw
22 Moons | She/Her | No purrks
ThunderClan Apprentice (demoted)
Snakepaw immediately knew something was wrong when she seen the sudden change in Brokenstream's expression, and then came the confirmation. She wasn’t the kind of cat to show emotions publicly, but it was hard to hide the look of sadness on her face, she lowered her head a little bit.
"So he's away then…?" She began, a noticible grief in her voice, however she tried to maintain her composure.
"Well…thanks for telling me yourself, it's better I know now than wait for Duskleaf to get better anyway, I do appreciate it." Every word was genuine. Even if she thought Brokenstream was an awful fighter, she had to admit it took decency to tell her himself. Even if she never really knew him too well apart from one battle and a bit of an argument, she could understand now why Duskleaf was friends with Brokenstream. Then as Brokenstream invited Ravenpaw to walk around with him, Snakepaw noticed the look in his eye, and looked back as if to say that she wasn’t a monster, obviously wouldn’t harm Duskleaf's apprentice!
Speaking of, Riftpaw then asked her to become friends. That did make her cheer up a bit. She smiled slightly, looking down at the young apprentice.
"Sure." Riftpaw got a little close as he sat beside her, but Snakepaw didn’t really bother too much. Sure she would tell Duskleaf when he got better to teach Riftpaw about giving cats some space, but she didn’t mind it too much for now.
"I was raised a ThunderClan cat." She began.
"Duskleaf went with our father, I went with our mother." Snakepaw really would miss Reedclaw, he may’ve been breaking the warrior code to sneak out to Smallpines sometimes, but he did that to see his daughter, even if one of them was in a different clan, he still wanted to be a father to both of his kits. That might not have been allowed, but it made Snakepaw love her father even more for it, that he was willing to risk being caught.
"Although, my father Reedclaw did teach me how to fish!" She explained. And to think Duskleaf was none the wiser, hadn’t noticed his father sneaking off once, and wasn't even aware until recently that he had a sister. Reedclaw had time to do all of that, and still Duskleaf never noticed.
