private PURE IMAGINATION ❆ "Family"

[Frightpaw]

*+:｡.｡ Since Deathpaw's demise, Frightpaw had been thinking. Mostly, replaying Whitepaw-now Marrowpaw - returning home, covered in her sister's blood. She thinks about Nightingalecry revealing that half the "litter" were adopted...about the way Ebonylight looked at those very same kits. She understood him, now. She understood, too, how easy it must've been for Marrowpaw to draw the ichor of one he did not share his with. Frightpaw didn't doubt he'd find it easy to pull from hers as well. That any of his siblings might.

"Midnightpaw, Grasspaw, Marrowpaw " Frightpaw spoke to each cat in turn after gathering them together in a secluded part of camp. She didn't want this to be a big thing - honestly, she doubted it would be. Thus, she cut straight to the point - "I think we should stop seeing each other as family " Amidst clan culture, adoption wasn't all too rare. Even someone as rough around the edges as Sootspot had done it, claiming three orphans as his own. It was unprecedented, then, for a cat to openly cut ties with felines she still shared a camp and duties with...but Frightpaw wasn't the type to fake it till you make it.
"It was nice while it lasted, but I think it's good for everyone if we stopped pretending " she explains with the amused smile of one who'd outgrown childish games. She'll surely miss teasing Grasspaw, or sharing prey with Midnightpaw...and it had been nice having a similar apathetic disposition with another cat like Marrowpaw...
But this was for the best.

Frightpaw was her own family, and she'd like that to be acknowledged.

[Grasspaw]

𓆝 . ° ✦ When Frightpaw had gathered them together it had set an uneasy stone in the pit of his stomach. She was getting weirder by the day it seemed. Then she opened her mouth and made it worse, apparently. He sent an incredulous look to both Midnightpaw and Marrowpaw (he'd have to work on getting used to that one). "Are you serious?" he nearly laughed in her face. The sheer ridiculousness of the whole thing was absurd. "You think I- we're pretending?" he snapped, the edge in his tone sharpening.

Sure. They weren't close like when they were kits. Nobody ever was as they grew up. That's just life though, right? That doesn't change the fact that they're all still family, that they were all raised by the same cat. Nightingalecry must be rolling in her grave listening, seeing this... whatever this was meant to be. "You-" he snapped his jaw shut fast enough that his teeth clicked together. Grasspaw scoffed instead, looking to see his other siblings reactions.
