It had been moons since she felt this relaxed- but of course, the cold cat was still a bit rigid. It had been a few moons since the death of her mother - the last cat that she loved in her life - and she had been wallowing in her sorrow for some time due to that. Baycloud, Eversong... why must Starclan take such cats away from her? Could they not have taken Iceclaw and Marbledface instead? It was a dark thought, but ever since she was kit she didn't care much for her father. And there was her sister... someone that she viewed as a traitor to their mother for disowning the family like that. But he was still here, and her mother and Baycloud were gone.

And even though she was still a mess, recently Silentcry seemed to have a flicker of life in her.

Her blind orbs seemed to follow two kits as they played, her ears perked up as she listened to make sure that they were fine and nothing was going wrong. A breeze flowed through the camp and brushed past her short fur. It hadn't taken her long to realize that the parents of her half-siblings had pretty much abandoned them. At first Silentcry had avoided the kits as much as possible in a similar way that she avoided Frozenpaw. Though slowly she began to pity the small kits. She knew what it was like to not have their father in their lives, but they also barely had a mother. At least she had Eversong. Sure her mother was depressed for most of Silentcry's life, but she never abandoned them and for that Silentcry deeply cared for her.

So, she took it upon herself to become almost like a motherly figure to the two kits. It wasn't like she actually cared for them - in truth, they really hardly spoken before and the two most likely wasn't aware of the fact that she was trying to watch over them. Being way to awkward to approach them, this was much easier for her. Though she was sure at some point they would realize that she was always around, or maybe she would inform them herself? Either way, Silentcry was sure that they would eventually figure it out. But for now, she simply listened to the two play, remembering what it was like when she was kit. Before she realized that her father didn't care for them. Before she figured out her mother's state of mind.

Before she knew how cold the world could really be.

But maybe they could learn differently? ... Maybe they didn't have to learn all that.

Thornkit tackled Volrkit again. He laughed as he played with his brother, not a care in the world. Thor kit tried not to think of his family that often because even though he was young he was catching on that his family had basically abandoned him and Voleki. Thornkit did hope that Volekit didn't notice since he didn't want his brother to go through the realization that no one cared about them. But he when they were older Thornkit wanted Volekit to know that he he was the only one that cared about him. Thornkit wanted it to just be the two of them forever, so that no one could ever hurt them. He stopped when felt as though someone was watching them and turned to look at Silent Ryan. Thornkit didn't really know her since their family was barely even a family. But he did remember his mother talking about Iceclaw's first family to herself and he recognized the description of his older sister. Thornkit decided to glare at her instead of walking up. He just wanted it to be him and Volekit.
