"I was frustrated but not with you. I did feel overwhelmed but that was because there were a lot of cats in the den and I had just given birth and walked home directly after. It was not a good time for me," Aspen Moon mewed, "But..Gray.. I do have to ask.. why are you letting this get to you so bad? Ginger Wren said you've been down for days. Why?"

Grey Sky inhaled deeply, steeling himself for what he was about to say. He looked up at her, but he couldn't keep her gaze for long. "I-it's just that ... I try to make it so that I will be the one person that will never hurt you, make you uncomfortable, make you upset. I couldn't do that to you. But then... I thought I did. So I figured, I let you down."

Aspen Moon pressed against Gray Sky. "I appreciate your efforts," she murmured, "but remember there are times I would rather be alone. I'm only a cat you know?" She smiled at him.

Grey Sky stiffened at her touch, but he didn't pull away. He smiled slightly, looking at her, "You know, I don't get that. I don't get how anyone would want to be alone. How anyone would willingly be alone. I just don't get it," he meowed, whiskers twitching

Aspen Moon giggled. "You know.. I used to think the same thing. And then I met Crescent Moon... And Cress..well he was exactly like my in many ways but in the grand scheme of things we were total opposites and he was very solitary. and then whenever I found myself alone with no one around.. I slowly began to realize that those moments alone, whether I was hunting or sleeping in our den while he was on patrol or whatever, those moments were really peaceful. And those times spent apart made our time together more special." Her eyes glazed with sadness for a moment and she looked away.

Grey Sky nodded thoughtfully, "You know, I hadn't ever thought about it that way." He was breathing easier than he had been in days. The time spent alone had been distressing, and he hadn't been able to take a full breath the whole time, 'Maybe it's just different for others?' he thought to himself, though he didn't want to delve into it much deeper than that. No matter the case, he was happy that Aspen Moon wasn't upset with him. He finally relaxed, something he hadn't been able to do for a while

Grey Sky sighed contentedly, though it wasn't just Aspen Moon he had promised himself to look after. He believed he had taken up enough of Aspen Moon's time, "Do you want to get back to your kits?"

Grey Sky purred, "I would love to. Thank you for talking to me, Aspen." He stood, stretching out all of the knots in his body from the time he had spent still

Ginger Wren nodded, "Of course, Aspen Moon. If you ever need anything, I'll be glad to help," she meowed with a smile, moving over so that Aspen could sit with her kits.
Grey Sky purred as he approached the kits and Ginger Wren. He mouthed 'thank you' at her, knowing what she had done

"They're growing so fast already," Aspen Moon purred. "Haven't opened their eyes yet though.."

Grey Sky was instantly worried, and he was about to voice his worries when Ginger Wren spoke, "Aspen Moon, I'm absolutely positive they're ok." She spoke with a reassuring manner

"I know they're ok!!!" Aspen Moon snapped suddenly. "Why does everyone feel the need to reassure me?! I know! I just wish they'd open them so I can see!"

Aspen Moon's eyes were still bright with irritation but she nodded curtly. "T-they're getting cold. I'm going to go inside.' she mewed and picked up Russetkit to carry him inside

Aspen Moon looked at Ginger Wren in surprise and took Eclipse Moon from her. She gave her a nod and laid her daughter down.

Aspen Moon nodded slowly. After all hadn't that been the point of her coming inside? She curled up around her kits with a sigh. She wondered if Gray Sky would leave. She hoped he wouldn't feel bad and also hoped he'd stay

Ginger Wren nodded before exiting out of the nursery. Grey Sky had been about to enter, but Ginger held him back with her tail, "She may need some space."

Ginger Wren twitched her whiskers before removing her tail from Grey Sky's chest. She padded on, towards the fresh kill pile.
Grey Sky ducked into the nursery, maybe a little hesitantly but relieved nonetheless.
