His throat was raw from crying, so he stopped, tears still dripping down his cheek. I can't... I mean... I shouldn't have... It's not fair! He murmured, starting to cry again. His tears dripped into her fur, and his eyes widened. I didn't mean to! He apologized, hiccuping.

Songkit was taken off guard by Hawk-kit's response, but more so because he felt bad about having his emotions. She licked his ear and let him lean against her, wrapping her tail around him as much as she could. "I-It's okay brother, you don't have to apologize." She murmured, licking his ear again. "I think...life really isn't meant to be fair, ya know? If it was fair...we wouldn't struggle with things like leaf-bare, hunger, and sickness."

Or missing fathers and sisters...

She wasn't trying to be depressed herself, or bring Hawk-kit down any further. So she shook herself off. She needed to step up with Rabbitkit gone. "But...we don't struggle alone. We have each other! And that...makes it better I think." Did she help? She glanced over at her brother, offering him a small, warm smile.
