'gotta think quick, gotta save face-' Tideear walked away from Whaleear's...apology. Wish couldn't think straight. Why was it hard for it to forgive? Whaleear RUINED its life. It has every right to ruin hers. But Heartpaw loved bug. And claw was wish's friend. How could he choose a way? 'Stuck between a rock and a hard place.' Tide had always hated forgiving. It couldn't justfiy it in his messed up head. 'if you tell them no- your a heartless man." Tideear wanted to kill whaleear. Whale had ruined its life, its going blind, he lost its closest ally- He couldn't with his heart. 'And your gonna have a maurder on your hands." Heartpaw wouldn't hesitate to end Tideear's and her friendship. Claw cared more for Whale. Tide knew that. 'And if you let 'em go- You're a spineless king." But if wish told her...that he forgived cinna, Tideear would be invalidating it's ideals. It's principles. "And you're never gonna get them in line again." And snapdragonpaw. Snap's principles. Her image, her legacy would be gone. 'Damed if you do, damned if you dont, whole damnation's watching you." Whatcha gonna do now?
