——————————————————— You who bares all your teeth in every smile. ✦
Thunderpaw wasn't going to put on a smile as she shuffled through the apprentice's den, grumbling to herself as she was on nest cleaning duty for the day. She haaaated these tedious tasks. Why did she have to clean other cats' nests?! Were they too lazy to themselves? She knew better than to complain aloud, or someone would shoot her a look and she would be sent off to do something even more boring.
Muttering to herself absently about the injustice of it all, she came upon her brother's nest. He had since moved his far from hers since they became apprentices, bordering on Torrentpaw's nest. The tom seemed far too cheery to be friends with her brother; clearly, there was something he saw in Galepaw, but that was besides her. Bowing her head and picking up the dried moss, she turned to take it out of the den and refresh it with fresh moss some patrol brought back. But as she turned, a sharp clatter caught her attention.
Face knit in confusion, she abandoned the old nesting and looked down at her paws, tilting her head curiously at the sight of a shell. Two halves still intact, having fallen out of Gale's nest. Thunderpaw's eyebrows raised in bemusement. "He's not the sentimental type, why's he kept this then?..." She muttered to herself, reaching out and picking up the thing, pausing as she noticed the shell rattling.
Bemusement returned to confusion, especially as she noticed something small and white on the ground beside where the shell was. She stood there for a moment, looking down trying to decipher what it was, only for Thunder's face to fall. "Is... Is that a fucking tooth?" The words fell from her maw louder than she intended, difficult to hide her dawning horror at the rattling shell in her paw.
