It doesn't take a smart cat to notice that Swiftdawn has been avoiding some of their Clanmates. Whenever Campionsong or Gentlestorm look their way, the pale warrior always seems to sidle elsewhere. They strike up conversation with someone else, tag along suddenly with a hunting patrol; anything, it seems, to confront the ever-growing truth of their ever-growing underside. It's unlike them: historically, they've been the sort to put their head down and figure out a plan as soon as they feel the need to make one. But it seems that with regards to the kits they carry, it's simply easier to ... look the other way and hope for the best. That isn't to say they're not careful; they don't smack into bushes with reckless abandon anymore, or tussle with any of their former energy. They don't have any energy to spare.
"Ack-!" Swiftdawn glances up from the shrew they'd been turning over in their paws to find Gentlestorm standing over them, and their tail fluffs out in surprise. How did he even move that quietly? He hadn't even been in eyeshot when they'd crouched down to eat in the quietest corner of camp they could find. In their surprise, the likely reason for his approach is lost on the pale tabby. "Great StarClan, Gentlestorm, don't sneak up on a cat like that."
