Weepingkit felt happy when Chasinglight nuzzled her, but became quickly confused. She did not understand what the cats were saying, or why they were so upset. She watched the two with wide eyes. When Ghostpaw turned on her and said Chasinglight was like the Big cat, Weepingkit shuddered. She looked at the sorrow on her adoptive mother's face, and she frowned. She was confused. What was happening? She tried to think of the time when her father had been mean to her mother. They had said it was an arguement. Were Chasinglight and Ghostpaw having an arguement? Weepingkit didn't want Ghostpaw to be sad. She didn't want Chasinglight to be sad. She huddled into a miserable ball and whimpered, recalling the time when her parents had fought.
"Lala, Lala, Lala..." She whimpered.

Chasinglight looked down at Weepingkit. "It's okay," She said soothingly, shooting an angry glance at Ghostpaw. she wouldn't lose her temper, but she didn't want to fail Weepingkit. She would tell Ghostpaw that. She looked up and said, quietly. "I can't fail her, Ghostpaw." And then she was confused. Stay? Where? "Stay here, you mean?" she asked, puzzled.

"Yes." Ghostpaw said, saddened and disheartened and disbelieving. How could her fa - no, Rootclaw - lie to her like that?

"I stayed here because I was born here, many moons ago. This would be an excellent place to raise a family, and a good fit for me and Shadowpaw. Plus, I wanted to see Lichenkit, even though she hates me...."

Weepingkit looked up at Ghostpaw, wondering what was happening to make her so sad. She was talking about Big cat Rootclaw. Weepingkit wondered what Rootclaw had done to make her so unhappy. He's like Big cat. Not nice. Weepingkit thought somberly.

Ghostpaw sighed.
"You wanted to see Lichenpaw, and maybe Rootclaw?" Ghostpaw said, a hint of a sly smile cracking at the corner of her lips. Maybe Chasinglight still loved Rootclaw?

Chasinglight smiled at Ghostpaw, a tiny smile. "I maybe wanted to see if he was doing alright...." she said, laughter on her tongue.

"And then he denied you." Ghostpaw said, let down. A little romance might have been fun. She cast a glance out into camp, thinking about Shadowpaw. Maybe, just maybe, she could find a way to talk to him without being in trouble... And then she had it. What power did Rootclaw hold over her now?

Chasinglight blinked. It sounded cruel when you put it that way. "Yeah." She said, turning her attention back to her kit, her adopted daughter.

Weepingkit looked up at Chasinglight.
"What does de.... nied... mean?" She asked, her eyes big as full moons.

"It means he hates Chasinglight." Ghostpaw said, sounding more like a deflated balloon than anything else.

Weepingkit frowned.
"Hate not good. Hate be 'placed by love, yes?" She asked, staring up with a slight smile on her pretty ginger face.

"Yes. You are very smart, Weepingkit." And it was true. The kit new more than most kits her age. Chasinglight sighed and nuzzled her daughter again. "Very smart."

Weepingkit didn't know what 'smart' meant. Her father had called Lala smart, but he'd never explained it to her. He didn't need to explain it to Lala either. She just picked up on those things.
"I... smart... like Lala?" She asked. She could put the pieces together if that were true. Lala learned very quickly. Weepingkit did not, but she felt a gush of warmth in her chest at being called so.

Chasinglight wasn't sure who Lala was. Perhaps a sister? "Yes," Chasinglight said unsurely, glancing at Ghostpaw.

Weepingkit smiled.
"Lala very smart. Lala always say..." Weepingkit frowned. She couldn't remember what she had said. Lala had begun to talk very quickly after her birth, but Weepingkit had been mute for a long while. She had just started talking when... She shuddered inwardly.

"you are smarter than Lala." Chasinglight assured her, pretty sure Lala was Weepingkit's sister. She suddenly wanted to know Weepingkits real name. It was a drive for her to know.

Weepingkit frowned.
"No. Lala smart. Lala learn quick. I not learn fast." She sighed.

"Weepingkit," Chasinglight began. "Yesterday you couldn't speak. No look at you! You have learned so much1"

Weepingkit frowned.
"I know little 'fore I here. Father try teach salinka." She meowed, her eyes dark as she remembered how her father had stressed over the task he had never been able to complete.
