She considered everyone's feelings - a long time ago. Her feelings had been casted aside because she was too nice. She was too gullible and kind. But, did he knew she also had feelings? Well...she could tell she struck a nerve. His tone had been hurt. It was hard to tell, but she could feel that emotion emitting from him. It wrapped around her like a snake and choked her. It made her gag internally, and this made her lift her head. She didn't say anything, only allowing her wide blue eyes to speak her unspoken words. So, she looked away as quick as she had looked at him. She waited for him to leave. To cease the tension that they caused in the nursery. She figured he was about to walk away again. He was gonna leave. But, she been shocked that he turned back around. And, even more shocked that he sat next to her, and laid down next to her. The words he uttered made her almost choke. They had just been arguing a moment ago...and, now he was saying this? However, Thea didn't show any signs of being bothered. She didn't know what to say. She wanted to remain as calm as possible. Her mood had been happy before he came in, and now she was disheveled. She was confused. Her eyes blinked but she still had no words to say. So, instead she laid her forehead on the tom's shoulder. And, she stayed there, breathing gently and trying to hear the rhythmic of his own breathing. They didn't have to like each other, but they at least had to try. Try to get to know each other. Try to work things out. Try to be excellent parents to their kits. Everything was about trying now, and Thea didn't like trying. She didn't know how long he would be in the nursery, but she was secretly appreciative that he hadn't forgotten about her.

Nothing. She said nothing. Not a word came from the molly. It surprised him. Why wasn't she fighting back? Why wasn't she saying something to hurt him even more? It wasn't like her. Nothing like her. The normal Thea would have yelled at him in an a split second of his action. This, compared to her having a good mood could have made Weaselshade faint. He wasn't being yelled at or pushed away. She wasn't getting up and telling Lynxkit and Mothkit to move so that she could lie down away from him. No, she said not a word. She made no attempt to get away from him. Thea stayed there. It made the tom's emotions suddenly change to that of surprise. Thea always had something to say whenever they shot insults at each other. Perhaps the difference was that this time he hadn't shot an insult. He had asked her to not yell at him for lying down next to her. She hadn't. Was that a good sign? It had to be. It seemed like one. It was the first time she hadn't said anything in response. Then something even more surprising happened. Thea moved. The tom tensed, waiting to see her get up and walk away. She didn't. She rested her forhead on his shoulder. Relief washed over the tom as he gaze down at the smaller molly. He felt his tail rise and place itself over her back. Perhaps this time she wouldn't mind.
