"But that's how one clan becomes another."
Those are the RULES.

"I know."
Ah, he's so literal.
"I'm saying it hypothetically. What if you reverse what you said and we make Wolf part of Moth. How would you react to that?"

This was a difficult mental exercise, imagining something that all his beliefs told him was impossible.
The best he has is a mental image of five Inferno's who have moth wings defeating the rest of his clan, since Inferno was the strongest he knows of.
Having worked his way through it, and looking down at his gloves for a moment, he nods.
"Then we would be Moth. That's how it works."

"I see."
This isn't what she expected. There was no real resistance.
She's not sure it would be like that for others but...maybe Zephyr was more right than she was. Maybe one clan or the other would concede with grace.
Maybe...

It was probably a very different experience between the two of them.
"If only some of the clan had been defeated, I wouldn't like it."
Zephyr feels as if he has to expand on it.
"Then I would have to fight my mom and dad. They are too strong, and then I'd be Wolf again."

"I don't like.... switching, a lot."
He admits.
"It feels like it's... not what the rules are for."

Rain laughs softly.
"I like you. You're simple."

Usually that's an insult.
He doesn't take it as one though, because he doesn't know that.
Zephyr just nods again.
"I don't like complicated things."

"I wish things weren't." she agrees.
This friendship she'd struck up was probably going to be quite complicated.

"Are things complicated?"
He's never thought about it.

"You grimaced at an alliance." she says.
"You and I aren't exactly clan-mates."

"I don't know how alliances work. I don't spend a lot of time at home."
He shrugs.
"I would need to ask someone about it."

"I hope you find a good answer." she says sincerely.
Suddenly she'd sit up, her body almost fully recovered.

His eyes widen in surprise at the movement!
"...I think that's enough training today."
