[Mudclaw]

mudpaw grinned at brightpaw's playful expression, still managing to be a living mirror of emotions.

the patched tabby nodded quietly, thinking of something they could instead do. he couldn't believe that almondpaw could just not whine... even he whined, although he'd never cared to admit it. "she must have some reason for being the way she is, though," he said, ignoring how hypocritical he was being at that moment.

-short but muse is lacking-

[Adaline]

((aaaaa I was just reading Muddy's thread with Willow and the sad thing is that Bright would side with Muddy in a HEARTBEAT and probably put strain on her already tenuous barely taped together relationship with Willow

Brightpaw huffed. "She's a sadist?" She suggested. "What could've happened between the time she started existing the first time she turned her claws on someone else? I remember how young we were. Nothing happened. She's just... That way for some weird reason." She shook her head gently.

"I... Kind of get wanting to believe there's a legitimate reason for why people are horrible but... Sometimes people are just that way."

[Mudclaw]

-aw, muddy just ruined one of the only other possibly positive relations bright could have had... rip sibling relations-

mudpaw nodded, "i feel like there's more than one case of sadism in your siblings," he muttered. "maybe she's just doing it for the sake of it... or trying to impress someone, i don't know," he looked around.

his white whiskers twitched at the thought of it. being mean for the sake of it, that was... of course, cats were like that, but causing grief for no reason seemed pretty pointless to him.

-wow muse down the drain and drabble-

[Adaline]

((W-Well... Maybe it can be fixed later on. 

.... You know my only issue is that Rin has disappeared so Aloe can't properly talk to Muddy. Bleh. Also I can't torture Aloe b/c I'm his mentor for whenever he comes back :P))

Brightpaw sighed. "Yeah... You're probably right. Wonder what's wrong with us..." She muttered. "Can't be from Mom, I don't think. She's kind of... Wimpy. Dad's a grump, but I don't think he's sadistic. Probably not, anyways." She shook her head gently. 

((.... My muse also died.))

[Mudclaw]

-maybe
-

mudpaw shrugged, "did the rest of them just all hit their heads really hard on each other when they were born?" he asked, acting like his question was some massive secret. "i've never met your parents, who are they?" he asked, wondering how a weenie and a grump got together somehow... sounded like some sort of story an elder would tell.

[Adaline]

Brightpaw could've sworn she told Mudpaw who her parents were... Huh. She must not have and imagined it. "Hazelclaw and Pinyondapple." She answered. She... Didn't hate her parents, but she didn't exactly respect or like either of them. Her tail twitched uncertainly behind her. "Uh... Do you... Like your Mom?" She asked uncertainly.

[Mudclaw]

-she probably did tell muddy and i cant remember but oh well-

"i've never met them, i don't think," he said, beginning to mutter to himself,"nah, i'm pretty sure i'd remember it."

mudpaw answered her question with a simple shrug, "i'm not extremely close with my mum," he said, "but she seems pretty nice," of course, muddy had no idea that the cat whom he was referring to was not actually his mum, but oh well, it was probably better for him not knowing.

[Adaline]

Brightpaw shrugged. "It doesn't matter if you do, or if you don't." She insisted. She never thought much of her parents. In her eyes, her siblings had always held the prominence. 

Her parents never helped her. Never raised a paw to. Plus, they were never around. She had no idea where they'd gotten to. Hazelclaw had claimed he'd assess her, but so far... He was a no-show. Another item in the list of disappointments.

"That must be nice..." She murmured.

[Mudclaw]

mudpaw frowned at brightpaw's murmur, stepping forwards to press his pink nose to her cheek in a comforting manner. he could tell she was upset as her eyes weren't lit up and she wasn't smiling... mudpaw was pretty good at recognising basic expressions, good for him.

he purred softly, "s'okay," he said, not seemingly having a reason.

[Adaline]

Brightpaw sighed and leaned into Mudpaw's touch. She didn't really... Have positive physical contact with anyone. Except Mudpaw. He didn't seem like the touchy feely type... But Brightpaw seemed to be the exception.

She inhaled shakily, then exhaled more smoothly. ".... Thank you." She murmured softly. Then she yawned.

[Mudclaw]

he smiled warmly, "you're welcome," mudpaw spoke, hearing her yawn, "tired?" he asked, his tone humorous, although it wasn't prominent like it had been previously. he rubbed his face on her head, slowly sitting down, trying to perform the action while staying as still as possible... which was impossible, well done.

[Adaline]

Brightpaw nodded gently, beginning to lean on her friend. She... Hadn't really gotten a good night's sleep since... Well... Ever. Almondpaw's and Aloepaw's presence in the nursery had plagued her kithood nights.

Her crazy schedule as an apprentice made it difficult to get rest as well. 

[Mudclaw]

-wow i had no idea what to put at all-

mudpaw closed his eyes when brightpaw began to lean on him, he, himself, wasn't tired... but it was comfortable nonetheless. he sighed contently, moving his tail in closer to he could wrap it around his hind paws.

[Adaline]

((Ahahah don't worry. also ehhh i think we can end it here?? tbh I kind of want Bright to start fussing over Mudpaw post-Willowpaw-fight. B/c she's definitely going to be like 'are you okay??? D;'

Brightpaw closed her eyes. Her breathing slowed and she drifted off peacefully into sleep. She really needed the rest and... In the presence of a trusted friend, she felt comfortable giving up consciousness in favor of the darkness of dreamland.
