#Nimblestep

[rippleclan]

Oof the Puddlewhisper Icekit Pearkit Nimblestep situation is SO tricky. It really seems like there's not a right answer. Just a lot of sadness and complexity. On the one hand, Puddlewhisper is the only parent they've ever really known, and they're happy and safe. They were abandoned with no real way to get them back to Nimblestep at the time. On the other hand though, I really do see Lettucestar's point and part of me agrees with him. It's sad and it's going to hurt Puddlewhisper a lot, but the kits are probably still young enough to adjust to a new home fairly easily and RippleClan IS responsible for the murder of their father. The murderer has been punished, yes, but it still happened. Nimblestep is back now, getting help, and very very reasonably wants her own children back. Like I don't blame her for wanting to have custody of her kids back, for wanting to be responsible for how they are brought up, and for not wanting them to not be raised by the group that killed their father. No, she shouldn't have left them in the first place, but she thought she was fleeing for her life, and the life of the kit she could carry. She was panicked and not thinking rationally. I don't think it's really any evidence that she didn't care about them or that she's not capable of being a good mother to them now that she has support. As much as I like and sympathize with Puddlewhisper, and as much as losing Icekit and Pearkit would be devastating, I just don't see her keeping the kits in RippleClan being the right thing to do, in large part because of the murder of Achilles. I feel like the best, if not at all likely solution would be for Puddlewhisper to agree to join SlugClan and coparent the kits with Nimblestep.

Love your thoughts on this!
