Jasperglare was on the road to recovery, but he hadn't left the badger set yet. He still had no energy, no strength. He didn't even have the will to live at the moment.
He sat outside the den with a hollow look in his eyes and his characteristic smile was completely gone. He forgot how long it had been since he had been put here. He could only think about how cursed he was, to have everyone he grows close to die or leave in some way. His mother, killed by illness. His little brothers, who he had to give away. His kits, killed by coyotes. And now, the various cats he shared this den with that had died in misery.
He trembled, thinking about it. Was he alive just to suffer? Had he done something wrong? Would he ever attain happiness and be able to keep it?
He was snapped out of his downwards by the sound of someone approaching. He lifted his gaze to see Dandelionwish and his.... Apprentice? On the way.
He hadn't been the best to the former medicine cat, and yet he still treated him despite it. And with Dandelionwish leaving soon..... He better apologize while he has the chance.
"Hello again....." He greeted, voice broken from lack of use. "I assume you're here for checkups..... Or something like that."
He was vaguely aware of what happened, maybe he'd feel differently if he were there. But he was acutely familiar with how it feels to lose everything he had ever known and to be cast aside.
