OOC: Fighting possibly?
Brightstar's orange fur fluffed out some when the strange she-cat talked to them. He slid his claws out, instantly alert and suspicious of Trinity. "You're not my mother!" THe tom growled angrily, and his tail lashed against the bush to displace more loose needles. He shook them off his head when they landed in irritation, then glared at at the cat.
"I'm not going to sit by and watch them fight. We can help them win." He retorted. He wiggled past some of the branches until he was closer to the stranger than Lola was. In some way, he felt that since Luxx wasn't beside the bush, that he had to protect her in his absence.
"Don't try to butt into other cats' buisness where it doesn't concern you." He mewed cooly, eyes narrowed slightly. He normally wouldn't have said something like that, but he felt anxious to not crouch in a safe hidey hole until the danger was over. He didn't want to sit and watch on the sidelines, without having the chance to help. If they didn't win...Brightstar shut his eyes, for one horrible moment imagining LUxx dying, leaving Lola and him to travel on their own.
He wasn't old enough to be totally on his own yet, he hadn't been taught all there was to survive! That fueled part of his urge to help, that no one die and so he wouldn't be left to die. He in some way thought Luxx was an omnipotent force that nothing was better than, but he still fet the panic of being left with Lola, too similar to what had happened to him before.
"Yeah, we need to practice our fighting moves." He agreed with a head bob. He didn't know why Trinity would care so much, anyways.
