WE SLEEP SAFELY AT NIGHT BECAUSE ROUGH MEN
STAND READY TO VISIT VIOLENCE ON THOSE WHO WOULD HARM US
Not my dogs, not my fight. He'd known it was coming, had caught sight of that mottled troublemaker going around talking to certain cats. Had watched them, one by one, slink off to the far side of camp after each conversation. He noted the way each sable supporter was given a wide-berth, dismissed as if they didn't exist where they slept.
The fight would not wait until morning– not if experience was anything to go by. And Ghost didn't intend to be around for it.
But of course, of-fuckin'-course he wouldn't make it out unsighted. That would be too much to ask. Blue eyes always seemed to be looking. Seeking something that everyone else was so keen on avoiding. So quick to overlook.
But Thunder saw him every time.
His paws halted beneath him at the shout of his name, waiting, but not turning around. He wouldn't turn around.
"You can' be leavin'. Are you gonna fight?"
"Not my war." he answered, the words clipped, almost cold. It was time to put a proper end to this. Whatever it was. Not quite friendship, yet not quite the indifference Ghost would have preferred.
And yet..
"You should get out while you can." His skull tilted just enough for dark eyes to find them, settling on blue for the last time.
He's not my responsibility.
"Good luck, pup.' Eyes forward once more, he made to disappear into the trees like the very apparition he'd been named for.
OOC- Ghost is closed to interactions, he's got stuff planned in private thread encounters :)
