The dark tom stopped and rounded on her with snarl at the words. "Didn't notice? Left you!? I SPENT MOST OF A MOON IN THE MEDICINE CAT DEN!" Flintclaw roared at her, claws digging into the ground as he circled the albino she-cat. He could still feel the grinding sensation in his chest as he moved, though he wasn't sure it still existed. Nothing was certain with the way he could feel an ear that didn't exist while not feeling a leg that did. "You didn't even say anything! You and your kits just went missing! What were we supposed to assume!? And don't you go blaming me for your choice to not build other bonds in the clan!" Did he go crying to the nearest cat complaining about his lack of close relationships? No! He preferred it that way! What was she trying to get at?

"You haven't even done anything to earn back any kind of respect or trust! All you've done since your return to Thunderclan is sit there and sulk! I don't even blame you for that! I HAVEN'T EVEN HELD THAT AGAINST YOU!" Flintclaw's tail lashed as he glared at her. He hadn't gotten the chance to lash out about almost anything he had been angry or mildly upset about for a while, and maybe some part of him knew that was overboard. His jaw snapped shut as he thought for a moment.

"Cats go missing every. Damn. Day." He growled, trying to calm himself down by digging his claws so far into the ground that it would take quite the effort to pick the dirt out. He was deputy, now. He needed to be better than this. So he went from yelling, to a lower, darker tone. "You can take the time you need to grieve, but it doesn't change the fact that you didn't even try to tell someone and get help. You dug this hole, not me." He hissed, quiet and cold. "I have far more cats to deal with and take care of than just you." He ignored her comment about the dogs. As far as he was concerned, it was a dramatic act to garner some kind of sympathy. As though he didn't hold any at all. It was yet another insult to him.
