Not finishing this wip but I really liked the expression and think Quince deserves to fucking scream. I had a comic planned where she went into the forest to look for Tiny and ran into a patrol of Sunstar, Bluefur and Thistleclaw...
When confronted she tells them she’s looking for her missing kit and Bluefur recognizes her description, a small black tom with a white paw. She says that Thistleclaw ordered Tigerpaw to attack him, he ran away, and they never saw him since. Absolutely distraught, Quince desperately, nearly hysterically begs Thistleclaw what her innocent son could have possibly done to deserve being attacked, Tiny was her smallest kit and he would never hurt anyone. But Thistle reacts completely apathetically, saying he was only defending his borders from a tresspasser.
Sunstar is in shock and tries his best to apologize, even offering a few search patrols to help find her kitten. They never did find him, and it was that moment Sunstar decided Thistleclaw could never be deputy.
