Lionstar didn't really care that Fawn seemed to have tried to offer an abortion to Flyfur. He was in full support of it! "Maybe you should have done it anyway," he muttered sourly, not with Fawn but with the few dozen kits without parents. "Forced her to adopt those in need instead of make more." He was having a hard time thinking the pregnancy was unplanned when it seemed so out of the blue.
"I don't understand these queens," he admitted to Fawnsqueak. "Doesn't it seem selfish they'd want biological kits over just.. having kits? We have orphans and they'd rather make more than help them."

Fawnsqueak tipped his head, utter confusion crossing him at that. "Done it anyway?" he echoed while wondering what precisely that meant, if the grisly statement was to be taken literally or if this was some twisted figure of speech. When he'd come in here feeling bitter with himself, he'd expected consolation and disappointment from Lionstar, not full support of his poor behavior.. but he could kind of see where the guy was coming from, why he wouldn't want more kits brought into the Clan when there were plenty who needed even one parental figure. "I mean, yeah, that... that would be ideal, but I don't really think it's feasible.." They couldn't control cats' decisions to make kits but discouraging them and providing alternatives did seem better.
"Yeah, it's selfish," he agreed, shrugging, "but it's still ..I guess, their right to do that? It doesn't make it okay or anything, but it's... still their choice." The self-absorbed mindset that was required to pass over adopting a kit to spread their own genes was ludicrous and narcissistic, but Fawnsqueak nevertheless acknowledged the perfect worldview was unobtainable. There were always going to be breeders who made kits spur-of-the-moment and didn't think about other options.
