Honestly, that wasn't the answer he was expecting. Not that he always expected a yes, but to turn away a kitten? That earned a very disappointed glance from Hawkbite. The disappointment would eventually shift to that of annoyance, but Hawkbite would stare downwards at the kitten, instead. The annoyance flashing in the direction of Dawnstar momentarily while his eyes moved.

Maybe he should be annoyed at the kitten for being too young? But... that was cruel. He often forgot the leader was once much worse. These last couple season rotations had been tamer than a majority of her leadership. She could've killed the kit here and now but spared it. Now for Hawkbite to end this life? He wouldn't. He'd lose his rank and position in the clan before he'd harm, let alone kill, a kit.

Dawnstar certainly wouldn't be seeing the kit again, though.

As for loyalty? Hawkbite would put down any of his warriors if it meant he'd have to prove himself to her. Perhaps his loyalty was questionable a time or two, but that'd been... seasons now. Surely she didn't truly believe he wasn't loyal. This was a ridiculous accusation of disloyalty if Dawnstar was seeing bringing a kit as such.

Whatever.

Hawkbite would let out a grunt of reluctant obedience before lifting the red kit up and turning out of the den to "deal" with it. Not a single word. As he'd typically be one to mouth off to a clan mate, he knew better than to put his life on the line inside her den.
