Someone needed to sit these two siblings down together and order them to spill their guts because this was getting ridiculous. Here they were, sitting a few feet apart and sulking horribly thinking the other hated them and not SAYING IT.


At least Sleepysunrise was cold and demanding enough to break the rift.


"Wha- Oh?" The tom stuttered, turning as he was grabbed as a smile slowly spread across his muzzle. "Y-You want me to?...." His tone, previously downcast grew bright as his wobbles became more happy wiggles, willingly following Sleepysunrise onto the rock. The tom was purring at this point, still kinda confused but just happy to go along and bumping into his sister as if he was attached to her via a bungy cord as they settled onto the rock.


And if Bleedingpaw was basically being a blanket? Well it was probably just repayment for all the times when he was a much smaller kit he sat nestled into Sleepysunrises side and chest, using her to hide from the world. Things had changed since them, though not his desire to be sheltered from the painful parts of the world that still existed. He just.... Lost the ability to do so. Hiding was impossible, he was too big physically and just... To old. To old to be protected, at least successfully.


The child that couldve been sheltered no longer needed it, already weathered and hardened.


But while he'd lost something he'd gained in turn. He was no longer the kit the child unable to act and protect himself, only able to watch as things happened. Bleedingpaw could protect and, and well he wanted to protect his sister, even if she was able to protect herself. The pretty bengal just didnt want to loose her too.
So here he was being a living warming blanket with his now much smaller sister tucked between his paws, purring with a bright calm and happy grin.


"Oh you have a decent view up here Sleepy. Pity the company is.... Well. Is that riverclan medicine cat still terrified of you or just quiet, she always seemed like such a non entity when I see her. Is there a reason?" It was highly possible it was just general fear of shadowclan and all that was rumored they did causing the fear, generally flighty cats oft fell prey to the concept they were all irrational murderers that could snap at any moment. However you'd think a medicine cat of that age would know better, so maybe there was an actual cause. There was, of course, not that Bleedingpaw knew it.
