"Just.. don't leave me." Swanfrost's voice was barely above a whisper, her large ears flat against her head. She had already known the feeling of abandonment, and she didn't want to go through that again. "You're not even close to a territble cat." She insisted, avoiding eye contact. She felt weak. "You're one of the most genuine cats I know." If anyone was a terrible cat, it would be Swanfrost.

((Abandonment...? From her being adopted, right?
Brightwing flinched. "Nono... I won't leave unless you ask me to." She promised. "I just... I hope I'm not being selfish..." She murmured, as she tentatively took a step forward. "... I..." She looked away again. "... It just feels like a lot of cats think I'm terrible, and with so many... I just can't help thinking it must true."

(Yeah, most of her personality issues come from that. Like her low self image, rudeness, etc..)
Swanfrost let out an airy sigh of relief. She didn't want Brightwing to ditch her like she did Mudpaw. "It doesn't matter what other cats think, they can go to hell." She spat coldly, her voice regaining strength. "The only cat who can decide that is you." She shrugged awkwardly, feeling a little too 'wise'. Advice wasn't her strong suit, and she felt weird trying to comfort the feline. Little by little she was forcing any of the recent pain away, her face forming back to its usual coldness.

((Ahhh... I see. Well I'm p sure I've rambled on and on enough about why Bright is messed up XD
Luckily, it seemed like Swanfrost was quickly recovering. Brightwing swallowed and awkwardly cleared her throat, her expression turning back into that vaguely positive neutral look she wore most of the time. "... To me, it does matter what some cats think." She replied softly. "I can't stop it. It just... Nags at me. If I try to be better, everything just seems to come out wrong, really..." She sighed and lightly pawed at the ground. "... I'm kind of nasty to cats sometimes."

Swanfrost blinked, keeping her chin up. She was good at pushing away her feelings too. Maybe even better. "So can I." She shrugged. "Everyone can be. You should like you for you." She wrapped her tail tightly around her paws, clenching her jaw tightly.

Brightwing blinked. Then she shrugged uselessly. "Still... We do live in a clan. I'm not telling you what to do... I'm just... Thinking about me. I've got a strike on my record, I don't want to give Oceanstar any reason to kick me out..." She admitted.

"What strike would that be?" Swanfrost asked curiously. Perhaps Brightwing had already told her. She had to admit she didn't have the best memory. Although, what could she have done? Gotten into a fight with one of her rotten siblings? They deserved it anyway.

Brightwing coughed awkwardly. "I kind of... Attacked Almondfire in front of Oceanstar." She admitted. "So... Yeah. Me and Almondfire have a big blot on our records. Oceanstar might've seen Aloepaw and Willowpaw messed up... So he might have an eye on them as well, but I don't really know." She sighed.

Swanfrost didn't mention that she may have a mark on her record too. That is, if Firepaw tattled on her. Though, she still had some time to win Sparkpaw over. Speaking of... "You know that apprentice, Firepaw? Wait no, I think it's Firewasp or something now... Did you ever fight her when she was an apprentice?" Sparkpaw had mentioned that Firepaw said Brightwing had attacked her, though she doubted it was true.

Brightwing seemed confused at the question that seemed to come out of nowhere. "... What? No. Never. She was being a bit pushy as a kit and tried to follow me out of camp while I was cleaning the nursery and trying to dispose of the old moss... So, I might've been a bit harsher than necessary verbally... But I've never laid a claw on her." She tilted her head. "Why?" She tried to push aside the fear of being accused for something she didn't do.

"It doesn't matter." Swanfrost brushed the question off, feeling relieved. Now all she had to do was convince Sparkpaw... She didn't bring up the fact that she was in trouble. Brightwing had enough stress right now anyways.

Brightwing sighed. Her ears flattened. "Swanfrost. This sounds pretty serious. I don't want to be kept out of the loop." She said, her voice taking on a somewhat pleading tone.

Swanfrost debated whether or not to be honest. "Firepaws just a dirty liar, don't worry, I'll take care of it." She waved a paw nonchalantly, though she wasn't really so sure of herself. If she couldn't convince Sparkpaw of Brightwings innocence, it could very well be taken to the leader.

Brightwing gave Swanfrost a troubled look. "... If you really don't want me involved, I won't press." She said reluctantly. "Just... Don't keep this from me if it gets to be too much."

Swanfrost offered a small smile. "There's just some drama going on with Firewasp and me... It's nothing to worry about though." Maybe if she said it enough, she would believe herself too.
