Roll says... 5: Answer warily.

"About as much as anyone can, I guess," you say slowly, eying him. If he tries anything, you need to be ready.

However, he doesn't do anything more than flop down onto the rocks. "Okay, well. Look. I just..." He looks up at you. "The group was getting really suspicious of you suddenly staying out of it."

Ah. So he doesn't know yet. You give him a mock-pleasant tone. "Well, I figured that after you took care of my mother, it might be the smart thing to do. Didn't want to risk more cats getting hurt."

"Alright. Fair enough." His head sinks back down. "Well, I just...wanted to tell you to keep an eye on your friend."

You blink. "Who?"

"Knotpaw." He paws at a pebble in front of him. "She's been poking around a little too much and he's...we're getting a little suspicious. Especially after Jayface trailed the goose. You didn't, uh...have anything to do with that, did you?"

You narrow your eyes. "All I did was ask her some questions. She ran after Knotpaw tried to bring her to camp."

"Ah...okay." Thriftwhisker makes an odd twitchlike movement when he turns his head. "Alright. Just making sure. I don't want you to end up in the lavender, is all."

You save sarcastic comments for later and simply watch him. He's certainly acting irregular - his ears won't stop flicking and turning, and he looks bedraggled, plus his mouth and whiskers keep moving and he's making a nearly imperceptible whimpering noise. Something about this is vaguely familiar, but you can't place a paw on it.

Are you alright?
What will you do after this?
Is there another reason for this conversation?

Roll says... 2: Another reason.

"Is there another reason that we're having this conversation?" you ask, watching him warily now.

He coughs, and you're almost certain you saw something on his teeth, but it's wiped away before you get a good glance at it. "No, it's...well, yes, actually. I wanted to tell you that you won't have to worry about me spilling on you any time soon."

"Why?"

"Well, I..." He quivers for a second, and then viciously shakes his head, forcing his voice to be steady. "I'm gunna leave. I'm gunna take care of my problems and leave. Okay? Is that fair?"

"You have to answer for what you've done, Thriftwhisker." You stand tall in comparison to him now. "You should be judged in front of the entire Clan."

"I can't." He looks up at you sadly, weary. "I'm sorry, Rookpaw, but I'm not brave enough for that. I wish I had the guts to face everyone, tell them everything, but...I can't. I just don't have the nerve."

You don't reply.

"I'm going to..." He makes that whimpering noise again, a little louder this time. "I'm taking the easy way out. The coward's way out. In the end, there's only one real court of judgement, isn't there?"

He coughs again, and you definitely catch something with a bad color. An image of a writhing mouse flashes in your head.

"What have you done?" you say, alarmed.

"It's only the seeds, is what they taught us..." He settles on the ground, gazing out towards the lake. "Just the seeds."

"Where did you-"

He makes something akin to laughter in his throat. "Couldn't find the plant, for a while. But I eventually got into Divercloud's den, decided to eat it with my daily mouse."

He looks up at you again, twitching but ultimately peaceful. "You don't plan to call anyone, do you?"

And for the first time in quite a while, you really don't know what you want to do.

Call for help.
Let him die.
