"What do you mean-?" Jasper persists.
"Your sisters kind of raised me-" Snowsilver takes a step backwards, "I've known them for most of my life."
"You-" Jaspers breathing is is quick and shakey, "did they ever talk about me-? Or about why they left-?"
Snowsilver looks to the ground, "they did..." he trails off, nervous to say what they had told him.
"What did they say?" Jaspers face brightens a bit and he looks to Snowsilver hopefully.
Snowsilver continues to look to the ground, "well Silverf- Silver- left to join Riverclan," Snowsilver glances away.
"And Honey?" Jasper holds his breath.
"Your mother-" Snowsilver looks up at Jasper, "she told Honey to leave."
"She- what-?" Jaspers voice quivers.
Snowsilver takes a deep breath, "your mother made her leave."
"What about my other siblings? Their littermates- where are they?" Jasper asks.
"I don't know, they never mentioned them," Snowsilver shrugs.
Jasper shakes his head, "she's a good mother, she would never make them leave-"
Snowsilver looks to the bushes beside them, "I'm sorry- we should keep moving-"
Jasper shakes his head, "but what if they don't like me because of what she did to them?"
"They don't blame you- they wouldn't-" Snowsilver insists.
Jasper digs his claws into the dirt, saying nothing. His head turned away, he wasn't looking at Snowsilver anymore.
"You'll never know if you don't go to meet them," Snowsilver says with sympathy.
Jasper continues to look away, "but they don't know I'm coming. It won't hurt them if I don't go-"
"They'll love you," Snowsilver insists, "I'm sure of it."
"Can we take a break? Try hunting? Maybe we'll keep moving later..." Jasper trails off.
"Ok," Snowsilver nods.
"I'm going that way," Jasper nods towards a small clearing.
Snowsilver nods again, "sounds good."
Jasper wanders away, leaving Snowsilver alone in silence.
I guess I'll go hunting too, he thinks to himself.
He goes the opposite direction of Jasper and begins hunting.

Eventually Snowsilver pads back to the spot he had last seen Jasper, though the tom is nowhere to be seen. He takes a moment to burry the two mice he had caught before attempting to find Jasper.
"Jasper?" Snowsilver calls out.
There is no response from anywhere.
"Jasper!?"
