(Yay! I might be slow with replies though, I'm doing schoolwork)
Kestrelstar saw his daughter run out of the nursery, looking rather upset. "Amberkit? You akay?" he asked, walking across to meet her. This was the second time she had cried that day.
Amberkit wouldn't look her father in the eye. "Bra...B-Bracken'it sai' that...that Moonkit was 'is only frien'...a-a-an' that...me an' you an' Mo'her an' O'erkit an' Birchkit don' unde'stan' 'im the way that Moon'it does..." Her accent grew with her distress.
"Moonkit?" Kestrelstar echoed. "Who's Moonkit?" He remembered that Pantherpaw had once had a sister called Moonkit, but how could Brackenkit have met her?
"I dunno..." Amberkit sniffled. "Some...dead kit...that 'e meets in 'is dreams..."
So that's how. Kestrelstar licked Amberkit's forehead. "I'm sorry, honey. I'm sure 'e di'n't mean anythin' by it."
"But 'e said we're not 'is frien's!" Amberkit howled. She burst into tears.
Kestrelstar continued to groom her. "There, there, calm down. It's okay," he soothed. "Why don'tcha run alon' an' play with one o' the other kits? I'll go talk to Brackenkit."
"O-o-okay..." Amberkit wiped away her tears and dragged herself elsewhere.
Kestrelstar poked his head into the nursery. "Brackenkit?"
