Jayflight can't seem to blink after they tell her the news. Of course Smokefang's death was inevitable; in PureClan, no one will ever taste immortality. That doesn't mean she can't be shocked- shocked, but not sad. Never sad.

That's the way things work in PureClan. Sadness doesn't exist. It's not real. And maybe she misses his smiles, on dark and lonely nights, and his handsome gold eyes. It's hard to stomach the fact that she'll never see him again. It's on these nights, where the shadows are too close, the loneliness too poignant, when she cannot blink, wide-eyed. Sad, just a little.
