You're filling your heart up with hate;; open - pitt child

[Atticus Roux]

There had to be a reason he was short? Atticus' expression soured. He peered over towards Ivan slightly, only to turn back towards Sweeney quickly after. It seemed he would need to discuss why he was short with Moth. Perhaps it was her choice. For a young child, he didn't know how the birds and bees worked, nor birth itself. In his mind, he rationalized that Moth designed him this way for his benefit. At least he hoped so... The truth was cruel.

Thankfully, she wasn't living so far away. "The Pitt," the grey tabby echoed back towards Sweeney. He had heard of the place. The rumors of their troubles had graced his ears before, but he had never indulged in their tall tales. Things couldn't be that bad. After all, everyone was an a sole individual. Judging The Pitt based on a small population seemed almost biased. Atticus could only hope that Sweeney was of the better group. "I don't think it's so bad, right?" He glanced back at the others that had gathered. His question was rhetorical, yet he yearned for an answer in private. There was no need to insult the girl.

As she mentioned her dismissal to the others, the other kitten couldn't help but smirk. He agreed with caution. Even if the others protested, Sweeney clearly stated she would come back and for some strange reason, Atticus wanted her to. He couldn't understand why. Her actions were wild, yet within reason. A certain sense of chaos laid within the girl that he caught onto. His mind said not to indulge in the idea, but just like with his explorations away from home, he would most likely dive further into the dark.

Noor's boast flew past Atticus' head. Her strong vocabulary disinterested him. Who needed to swear that much? Despite the maturity implied by swearing occasionally, the overuse of such words seemed childish. Atticus just shot a confused glare over towards Ivan and then towards Sweeney. 'Rude,' he merely though. To prevent giving into Noor's attention-seeking desire, he didn't say anything towards the fox.

Aurum's words caused his ears to pin back on his head. No one took him seriously! He wasn't a child... Well, actually, he was. That didn't mean he wanted to be treated as such. His disappointment was immeasurable and his day was ruined. "Fine," he grumbled towards the proxy. "You can take her then." As if he had any authority in that decision. He'd like to think so though. It made him feel content. Thankfully, Aurum eventually picked her up and did as mentioned.
