Foxfur:
I walk along the opposite side of the gorge, following Darkheart and Shadepelt to the area where the water is level with the banks, and the stepping stones span the calm water. "Ok, I'm over here, so if you need help, Shadepelt, just ask for it. It isn't a time to let your pride get in the way of your health." I say matter-of-factly, giving him a warning look, "You helped save the clan, you can expect us to return the favor." I add, knowing only these words might actually sway him.
Hawktail:
Still stung, I flatten my ears at the leader and tip my weight onto my hind legs, leaning away from her reproachfully, "No you didn't. The way you said, it..." I pause, "I know what you meant." I say coolly, then turn, and bound out of camp. She meant that she won't ever be with me. I know it, I can feel the intent of her words, though scarcely uttered above a mumble. I understand perfectly what she meant; and now I need to do somthign. My paws burn with that dark, terrifying need, and I don't even try to fight it this time. I let my blank mind guide me to the dark side of the forest.
