likely to the disdain of her hunt, the molly ensured that did not happen. leafbare was fast approaching, two cycles of seasons ago at this time she was heavy with kits. she could pretend to be absolved of guilt, it was easy in front of clanmates who did not know any better, clanmates who thought they were dead and buried before they got the chance to catch a glimpse. but the muddled picture of kitten fuzzed faces was scorned into her mind. it was a tiresome existence to be consumed by phantoms that she could not cull.
the usually successful hunter returned to camp with empty jaws and a dazed look she couldn't quite blink away. distracted, they'd think, but it was better for them to assume her head was in the clouds than breathlessly beneath icy water. frostbreath had seen enough pitied glances for a lifetime. while she was busy making note to try somewhere else tomorrow, a faraway voice sounded. her ears twitch as she looks up from her paws and the she-cat fixes her clanmate with a sheepishly polite smile. "ah, i'm sorry. i must have fuzz in my ears." they tilt apologetically once mentioned, her words broken with a breathy laugh. "what was that?"
