Loved family? That was laughable, considering the stories he heard of how Dapplestar's kits were never close as family. "Then maybe it isn't her, but if she has a sister that took on a ShadowClan mate--" he knew of Infernostrike, but the description didn't match. Liontuft spoke of a dappled beauty, and Infernostrike had been a red tabby. "Then her sister violated the Warrior Code and ruined us."

To be blunt, he was starting to believe this she-cat was a waste of his time, and it was tempting to head into WindClan camp without her. "What," he hissed. "Is she dead? Spit it out, hare-muncher."

Wincing as the rogue snapped at him for the question, Newtflecks knew that it had been dumb. Of course that was what he had meant, but the younger warrior was just trying to make sure. He wanted as much information as possibly in order to rule out his mother as the molly that he was looking for.

"It wasn't any of her s-sisters," Newtflecks was beginning to get more defensive despite his remaining fear and uncertainty of the rogue. He didn't know much about his other family members, just his mother and siblings, and rarely heard anything about his mother's family. But he never really thought about it until now. He hesitated for a moment as he thought of all of Driftstream's sisters and noticed how he knew nothing about them except they were pretty much all deceased. But still, he disliked this tom saying such things about his family, whether he knew them or not. "The o-only other one of Dapplestar's d-daughters that looked anything like her is T-Tawnypaw. And I d-don't think she had a mate of any sort l-let alone one from S-Shadowclan." The tom was weary about his aunt and tried to avoid her whenever he could, so he really did not know anything about her love life, but still doubted she would take on a Shadowclan mate. "H-ow long ago was this? Are y-you sure it was one of D-Dapplestar's kits?" He still couldn't believe that anyone of his family would destroy this tom's family.

Newtflecks froze as the blunt words. He glanced away for a moment as he thought about what to say. "Y-yes... she is," it still hurt to think about Driftstream being gone. It hurt to think about his siblings like that as well. Though many moons had passed since then and made much easier to deal with it, but it still didn't make it painless.
