Perhaps he just didn’t know this feline as well as he thought he did. And, you know what? They’d say that’s a great thing - and for multiple reasons. With every second of this conversation, Moonstep was only growing more and more intrigued with his clanmate’s story.
“Well,” he begins, licking his paw and rubbing it across the grey-er half of his face. “I always see you zoning out, off on your own… As of recent, at least. I could have sworn I’ve seen you with another cat all the time, a while ago...” Moonstep trails off momentarily, thinking to himself about it. He shakes his head, continuing. “We’ve known each other for a while! Albeit, vaguely. I just thought it’d be neat to talk to you, y’know? Might as well be sure my clanmates are okay.”
Moonstep curls his tail around his own legs, staring back off again.
“We’re all together in this lockdown, anyway. No better time to chat.” |
Saltcloud winced, his eyes squeezing shut for a moment as he braced himself for the overwhelming hurt that accompanied with the thought of Sorrel. Much to his surprise, it wasn't as bad as it had been. Maybe because it was harder to feel sorry about it when he was talking to someone.
"Yes," He murmured. "He... er.. left. So it's just me now, I guess." His ears twitched slightly and then raised his head to look at Moonstep. "Yeah, we were apprentices together, for a while at least, I think we stopped talking at all when you were made a warrior."
Saltcloud sighed, shuffling his feet a little. His back paws were beginning to hurt from sitting on them and he tried to adjust, splaying them out to the side more.
