Life doesn't discriminate
Adderkit lay at the mouth of the nursery den, claws tucked deep into his piece of prey as he chews idly, still reminiscing over the earlier events of the day. Gravelpaw's less than savory stare, the gathering crowd, the fight that happened soon after. Everything happened so fast it was almost like a blur, and his head and hip still ached where the apprentice's paws struck. But nothing hurt more than what he could only presume was his own brother's betrayal. The area of his ear was till tender, pressed back against his head to ease the strain of keeping it upright. Irritation broiled anew as he witnessed his sibling making their way into the nursery for the night, smoldering eyes narrowing as Adderkit swallowed his mouthful of prey. Closer Harrierkit drew, encroaching ever closer as Adder's claws pricked at his prey.
Soon the boy would pass by him if he did not say something and he wanted to confront him over what happened. He just failed to find the right words to say. The chimera nearly passed by entirely before Adderkit spoke, words ablaze rather than calm like he'd intended them to be. "Don't you ever put your teeth on me like that again." The warning shot out faster than he could process, turning his molten gaze from his sibling back to twinkling starlight. "I had everything perfectly under control, Gravelpaw was crumbling...I could hear it in their voice. I won, and I made father proud by standing up for myself." Adderkit rumbles, tail tip flicking irritably as near vermillion meets citrine eyes.
"But then you embarrassed me and ruined my victory." His voice does not raise but remains threateningly low. "You helped them." His pelt prickles as Adderkit moves to stand to his paws now, half eaten prey tumbling to the ground. The prince does not dare speak the word in question, but it shows in his eyes all the same. "Why?" If their mother would not stand for such blatant disrespect then why should he?
