    Curiosity was an important part of the development of a balanced clan cat. One might say Hornetpaw had a bit too much sprinkled into his personality. Afterall he did not have the best luck with adventure and spontaneous decisions. However recent events had put into perspective that he should be more curious as to how he became a member of this world. Hornet knew he had a mother but did he have another part of the equation. It had recently been explained to him that basic biology dictated that a male and female of the same species had to be present to create new life. How that creation went about was still not information Hornetpaw had knowledge of however. Where was his father? So with all the curiosity in the world the ginger kitten went on a search in the camp of Darkclan for his mother to find some answers. [b]"Has anyone seen Quinn?"

    "right here kiddo." she grunted, and gave him a weak smile. "something i can help you with?"

    Oh no, now he was nervous! What if his mother didn't want to tell him? Putting on his bravest face, the ginger feline looked up at his mother. [b]"Who is my dad? Where is he?"

    He curled his tail timidly around his hip. "I know I have one. I have to or else the natural bio-ologee don't work. Hornetpaw struggled to spit out the two long words. They were simple to think but tongue twisters to speak.

  • [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=;border:0;width:500px;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt]Having two parents present in a developing child's life was always a matter most found important. However there were many who often had no father, mother or even neither. Cherrystar had always been the case where he had a functioning family, the only difference which separated him from other kits was his lack of interest in socialising with the ones close to him. DarkClan was his family, but even then he still allowed himself to fall into the category of being an outsider. But of course he had never truly been alone. He was always well looked after as a kit but hardly ever adventurous enough to need treating.


    The flame point tom had been laying over the cold stone with his eyes half closed when he noticed Hornetpaw calling out for Quinn. At first, he was surprised at the way he addressed her. 'Quinn'. No mama, or mother, or mom, or even mommy. None of that - just Quinn. He supposed the boy would rather address others in a more equal manner, as if treating his biological parent as a friend. Or perhaps it was just the male's intelligence. Although playful and imaginative, Hornetpaw had always been quite smart for a kitten.


    A single bright eye stayed open slightly, watching the kitten as his mother approached him. The calico looked as if she had just awoken, but still she came to her son. Cherrystar couldn't help with swallow awkwardly, hearing the child's words as he asked about his father. Or to be precise, his dad. The father could have been anyone's considering Quinn herself had patches of white and ginger, but how many toms of the Clan happened to be a ginger as well? He stayed quiet, not daring to utter a single word. Cher himself could be considered a ginger, but other than his tips he was a cream white.

  • [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=; borderwidth=0px; bordercolor=; color=white; font-family: trebuchet ms; width: 350px;][justify]quinn herself hadn't even noticed the name change. she was so used to being referred to by her own name, and she was so un-affectionate towards her kits, the thought didn't even cross her mind. she didn't really care what her children called her. what mattered was that she was able to recognize it and answer them.


    hornetpaw's question took her by surprise. she paused, and blinked. his father? she hadn't thought about that recently either. she hadn't considered the possibility that his curiosity would grow, tht he would think it odd to have a mother and no father. she hadn't even tried remembering who the father was. in fact, she'd tried to forget it.


    the calico swallowed and wrapped her tail tightly around her paws, almost nervously. "well..." she began carefully. this could go several different ways, but she was pretty sure she'd have to explain the concept of catnip if hornetpaw was to understand everything, and that was something she didn't want to do. all too easily she could see his excitement at the prospect of acting silly and giddy and possibly wanting to eat the stuff himself. she could also see him focusing on the fact that he was an accident.


    "i...i'm not too sure." she continued, and glanced down sheepishly at her paws. "it was so long ago, i can't remember. see, momma was kind of...kind of sleep walking when it happened. i wasn't asleep, but it was sort of like that. and i can't remember who it was." she paused, wondering how much she should tell him. she guessed it couldn't hurt. "i do know i never left the territory, so it's probably someone from here."

    i just want him to figure it out gah


    Hornetpaw looked as Cherrystar who was resting nearby. His mother's voice pulled his attention away from the Darkclan leader. He wanted to interject, to tell her that it wasn't that long ago, he was only five and a half moons. His face portrayed confusion and a little bit of dismay. [b]"Do you think he would love me if he knew me?"

    Hornet asked, just above a whisper, meeting his mother's gaze. He wondered if his father was still alive, if she didn't remember it could be anyone.

  • [align=center][fancypost bgcolor=;border:0;width:500px;text-align:justify;font-size:8pt][ ooc ] imagine when they realise and they have to pretend to be all loving while in the background quinn is sending cher death threats.


    His whiskers twitched. He had to think. Who else was a ginger? He had an awful memory for someone so keenly observant as he watched Quinn try to awkwardly explain she was on catnip without explaining it. His stomach churned just a little at the discomfort of the thought. The male was highly affected by the herb, mostly due to his nose. And he remembered a time he had awoken beside a shredded piece of catnip. He pressed his lips together, flicking an ear. Perhaps it was coincidence? It simply seemed too unbelievable for such a situation to happen. Cher had always been careful around the smell of catnip and quite often avoided any threat of it. He was even careful about it when visiting Thrushmumble. He of all toms couldn't be the father. It was ridiculous. But the genetics seemed to point straight to the leader himself.


    His teeth clenched together. Genetics was a weird and mysterious little thing.


    Cherrystar couldn't help but feel almost sorry for the starry-eyed apprentice, the child who liked to pretend and tell stories. He couldn't just pretend he had a father. Games didn't work like that. "I'm sure he would, Hornetpaw," the flame point said, speaking up from the distance as he added a yawn and rested his head in a more comfortable position. Of course if said father was Cher, then his statement would have been a lie. He had never been the family type, and he would be the most awkward soul there was.
