"Oh okay, so you just take it when anyone else piles on to blame you, but the moment your hot brother in law comes over its, "Don't blame me, Sean." He said, placing a dramatic paw over his forehead in the reenactment, but seemed to let the offense he took roll off his shoulders now, "And I did the right thing, she wanted to- do some questionable things," Sean said, glancing in the other direction, choosing to move around to the throne than to spill the full details of what had happened.

"Listen, Shule has just been under a crazy amount of stress for the longest time now. I'd dare anyone to ask themselves if they could do what she does for as long as she has without any slip ups. Shule's just trying out her own last name and like, all the power to her. She's probably just tired of having the same last name as Glow and I mean, I get it, I'm embarrassed to share it too," he said with a roll of his eyes, now lying down on their throne, "Hm," He said before bunching up the moss in some areas, "Spanish moss is bad for the skin, just saying, I'd get something less rough is all."

"Okay, this still doesn't explain why you're in my clan," Glowstar pointed out, wishing she could look endearingly into Foxstar's eyes like her mate was without Sean being a major turn off.

"I prefer the word, our clan," Sean said with a soft smile before moving away from the wisteria throne that he had nicely fluffed up, now heading back to the tunnel he came from.

"I'm sorry, what?" Glowstar asked, but by the time she asked he was already down into the tunnel, "WHAT!?" She repeated, this time following him down, but the moment she hit the bottom she was surprised by how spacious everything was, "Fox, it's actually pretty spacious down here," She said, knowing that Foxstar wasn't a fan of closed in underground areas.

Inside his rabbit hole was a wide open space with a moss covered floor, a bit chilly, but there was a circular nest stuffed with feathers and furs. Rocks and crystals were displayed nicely on the jagged stone wall. Running across the floor was Snowy, his syrian white hamster, which returned to Sean upon spotting him, settling on the top of his head.

"Oh wow, you're definitely living under our literal bed," Glowstar said, peering around.

"Can we kick him out, perhaps?"

"Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! We don't have to do that!" Sean exclaimed.


"Who knows, maybe he could be spying for her."

"Okay, how about, I just explain to you the whole thing. So I was just living my best life and had taken my rock out to graze-"

"I'm sorry, you did what?" Glowstar paused, looking at Sean with a level of focus to even attempt to understand him that she had never exhibited before for anyone.

"I let me rock out to graze?" He asked, to ensure that was the right one Glowstar was asking about and when she seemed to confirm it in her expression he continued, "Y'know because I took the rock out of its natural habitat. It would be cruel not to allow it to graze back into the surface world of nature to feel wild again every once in a while. So anyways-" Sean suddenly scrunched up his nose at his sisters disbelieving expression, "Don't look at me like that! You do plenty of weird things, like that one time you had a fox as a pet. Anyways, Shule and I were close or we were getting closer. But then, you know like how you might be a delicate rose, but then the person you love is kind of like a tornado. But for some reason the tornado never would harm a precious petal on the flower so they get along?" Sean asked.

"I am... I am so lost right now, are you even explaining it?" Glowstar asked in a more squeaky concerned voice.

"Okay, okay, I get that, too poetic. The point is that I realize that while Shule is a my dream girl that I'd happily pick every time. She's also evil, which is attractive as hell, but it's not. And that time it was scary so I had to... Turn on her... A little," He said in a smaller voice before meeting their voice, "Okay, I had to turn on her a lot. But I love her, but she also exiled me. So then I started working on my life, but then I was like, hey, you know where a Regime cat could stay with minimal effort?"

"Oh, so you just want a free place to stay," Glowstar asked blankly.

"Yes, that's correct, I see your children do it all the time," Sean nodded enthusiastically.

"Wha- uh- they do things!" She said more as a question, glancing back at Foxstar she walked back over to her, "Alright, look, Shule's a hot head and while Sean is pretty good at being a traitor and I bet did stab Shule in the back pretty hard, I think she could genuinely want him back. Maybe he'd be good leverage if we needed?"

Cinnamonsavage had wanted to go talk to his mom, and his ear twitched. The tom pausing, ears pricking, he moved closer to listen better. Then his ears flattened.

"What's he doing here?" He grumbled stepping into the throne area. "And I do things, I don't expect mom to get my chicken nuggets, I get them myself these days... even share them if the others ask nicely." He added, irked by the seemingly dig at him living here free.

He sat down a ways off, glaring at Sean. "Ugh the more I hear the more I hate this, I'm starting to agree with Foxstar. And like she makes Mom happy, so I'm happy Mom's happy. But she's still Foxstar, just ugh, if you're going to make me agree with Foxstar, I'd rather you please leave and y'know not come back. Ever?" He said.

Was it his place to butt in?

Probably not, but his grudge against his birth parents was still strong. Granted yes, he'd done absolutely nothing to try and fix it, mostly because when all his siblings up and left to join Shule and Sean, he'd scoffed at them. Glowstar was his mom. End of story.

And it was becoming more and more clear, he'd made the right call. Even with having to deal with Foxstar as a sort of step-mom.

He just liked to not think about that part.

"Sean's actually right, I was banking on his depression to get his kits." Foxstar admitted, "So it's probably accurate. Are we going to block off this cave after this? I feel like this space just needs to be burned down, but I like our bed too much to do that."

She gave one last look at the tunnel before spinning on her paws to rapidly follow Glowstar out of the underground, and taking a deep breath the moment she was out in open air again. The fur on the back of her neck she hadn't even realized had been raised laid itself back down, and the tension left her shoulders a bit as she walked side by side with her mate to ensure Sean was gone.
