BLACKTREE
​ Damn your love, damn your lies ​

Blacktree was no fool.

The caregiver knew that she wasn't the only one who Dunehusk maintained affection for, even after the colony split. Her mate had chosen her, its true, but she'd seen the way Dunehusk would sometimes glance across the border. The way her mate would sometimes sit, quiet, a wisftul look in his eyes.

Blacktree would be upset about it too, if she didn't miss Blisteringfury just as much as Dunehusk did. Despite her fury, ironically, at the ThunderClan warrior, she had loved him just as fiercely once. An ember of love still remained, ready to be rekindled into a comforting flame, but the other cat had made his decision. He'd taken the side of that...

Well. It did no good to dwell on Loonstar's hold over Blisteringfury. Blacktree licked her chest and padded out of the nursery, the myriad little ones finally down for a nap. Her eyes glimmered as she saw Dunehusk return to camp, and she padded up to him, rubbing her cheek against his.

He smells of ThunderClan. It made sense, Dunehusk had been on a border patrol, but she couldn't help but ask.

"Did you see him while you were there?"

[Dunehusk]

When Dunehusk returns to camp, he is praying that he doesn't run into anyone that will care that he smells of asphalt and forest. But as is typical for the unlucky tomcat, Blacktree is among the first cats that he sees when he pushes his way through the ShadowClan camp entrance. There is an unspoken shared feeling between the two of them; a ribbon of yearning that ties them together without either of them having to address it. Angst falls over the both of them like a heavy stormcloud. Blacktree knows. His amber eyes lock with hers, and shame burns in his throat.

Dunehusk wishes that the ground would open up and swallow him.

He stares at her for a long moment after she approaches him. Should the cinnamon tomcat crumple in front of her in the middle of camp? For a moment, he does not even register her question. Dunehusk looks at her with an empty expression, considers, and then turns inward. "Yes," he replies after a pregnant pause "He is still the same as he was." Disappointment weighs down his paws like they are full of stones, but his voice betrays no emotion.

BLACKTREE
​ Damn your love, damn your lies ​

Blacktree nodded. To her, there was no surprise - no surprise that Dune had seen their former lover, no surprise that Blisteringfury was the same as he always was.

As much as Blacktree could hope, it would seem the ThunderClan cat would never change.

"As to be expected," she said with a shrug, shaking the unwanted feelings from her fur. "Were any of... Were you able to see any of the children?"

They may not have been Blacktree's biological or even adopted kits, but she knew that Dune had made the ultimate sacrifice in coming with her, even unknowingly. His brood lived in ThunderClan, and under Blisteringfury's eye, they were forbidden from their sire. And despite her own lack of relation to the kits, their mere existence in the forest filled her with longing.
