juniper
"and this time, she won't be forgiving"
trying to connect with the clan felt harder to do the more lofty her position became. as if every death hung her closer to starlight and further from the grounding earth. alienated by both rank and history, Juniperstar is more relieved than she ought to be when approached about the many moons spent outside of the idea of a 'clan.' if it allowed others to understand her more richly, to dissect her decisions with more understanding, then she'd accept it willingly. "What do you want to know specifically? I've got many seasons to sift through..." her whiskers twitch despite herself, ignoring that she has confessed to an age that might exceed her looks. "I've traveled a lot before ever meeting Thornstar and Fray... I also was an only kit before Chantarelleseeker, Flametongue and Bracken were born. And uh... my favorite prey is actually vole. That satisfy your curiosity? Or maybe you have more questions?" what were even the important details worth sharing? did they want to know about first crushes? the first attempt to catch prey and how it had failed? what would bind them with familiarity and empathy?
