Foxbane had steadily been better since talking with Glowstar. She no longer looked gaunt to the point of illness, and her white paint stained her fur and one side of her face in chaotic blizzard swirls, and she no longer looked quite so downtrodden. Her determination had returned, along with some of the sass and mischief. It did, however, lack a certain vindictive bitterness that had tainted her past. If she was going to cause trouble from now on, she would do it because she liked it, not because she needed some complex plan of vengeance to appeased a broken soul.

But, chaos wasn't on the agenda today. She did, after all, have a lot of things to make up for, and whether or not she she-cat beside her really wanted to be involved, this was something she couldn't fix alone, it was both their faults, on varying levels. After all, ignoring this one had nearly caused their destruction in an apocalypse, it was probably fair to say they should at least try. "Well, I haven't seen anyone else step up to be a decent parent. We're the reason she went on a killing spree that she tried so hard to prevent in the first place, which isn't really fair to ask of a kit, but the Sun God doesn't seem to care to take advice from us. Just because we didn't ask for her, doesn't mean we should just conveniently continue to ignore her. Maybe we don't have a right to call ourselves her parents when we clearly didn't raise her, but we do owe it to her to try. I can't change the past, and I probably wouldn't, because then I wouldn't have this, now, but the future isn't so certain." If anyone who didn't really know Foxbane had her say this, they'd think she was insane. The evil leader she'd been, turned to this? Someone who genuinely cared? She wasn't perfect, and she wasn't going to ever claim otherwise, or even try to be. But she wasn't just going to let old pain stick around because she was too scared to face it. There were those she'd wronged to the point things could never be forgiven, she knew that. Yet, she could at least give them the courtesy of recognizing what she'd done.

The Senator leaned into the leader's touch, a flicker of a dangerous smile gracing her lips. If things weren't so serious, she might consider doing something fun, but maybe later. For now, they had a job to do. All the same, she offered a soft laugh, her up-tilted chin exposing the old scars across her throat. "Is it the fact I don't look like skin and bones, or am I just that cute?" She knew full well that wasn't what Glowstar was talking about, and that knowledge flickered across her gaze. She just couldn't help the comment. Foxbane really had missed this, being able to be so easy with Glowstar, and now, more than ever, she didn't feel the need to hold back. No matter how much it made her heart flutter, her mind warn her it could all end in ruin.

Foxbane didn't want to try because she trusted the Sun God. No, she'd interacted with him all too much over the years, and really, she highly doubted he saw them much more than an amusing pastime that granted him some level of power, most of the time, if not always. Yes, the Sun God forced Pandora into this, but she'd also seen enough of the deity that she didn't really think it would have gotten to that point without their issues with each other. But that amounted to different views and experiences, and wasn't really important.

As for the boldness, she'd already told Glowstar she loved her, so a little comment like that didn't seem like so much. She chuckled at the description, however. "At least that makes you the type to get dragged into cults, so I'm not as alone here." The Senator mused. "Though I think I'd take chaos and freedom Glowstar over forced-to-be-a-cultist Strikhedoniadalisay any day." Though meaningful, the name was, indeed, a mouthful.

In recent times, her and Pandora had sort of a.. mutual avoidance of one another. Neither really wanted to see the other, and the rare times they had to tended to be awkward at best. Foxbane was slowly getting better with it, but still, she hadn't made it a point to bring anything up, which was her own fault. She probably could have addressed it without Glowstar, yes, but she did want Pandora to have both the parents she deserved, not just one.

"That's technically being dragged into a cult, but I guess it does sound a lot worse that way." She replied, nodding slightly. "And of course. Well, back then, I wanted you under my control, but I still wanted the chaos. I've realized now that you really aren't you without it all, and there's no such thing as taming you. Which is better anyway." Foxbane purred, touching her nose to the leader's ear.

Only to freeze when her next words came out. The fox-furred feline thought she'd been clear. But apparently, she had not been blunt enough, and she pulled back, ivy eyes searching Green's with a newfound hesitance. "I've always loved you for who you are, Glowstar," She began slowly, though the 'but' was clearly coming next, "buut, yes, that was said in an an I'm in love with you sort of way. I'm sorry, I didn't realize I wasn't clear, or I would've clarified already." She sounded a bit surprised, masking the internal hurt that she'd assumed Glowstar's reaction had been reciprocation of feelings.

Her forwardness suddenly seemed inappropriate, as did dragging the DayClan leader along to see their daughter, and now Foxbane wracked her brain to try and remember if Glowstar was in any relationships. She'd broken up with Deal, Darkcomplex and her were certainly not a thing anymore that she knew of, and yes, the Eerie seemed to have a thing for Funk, as they appeared to really like the same toms, but she hadn't been out enough to know if she'd maybe started dating Funk, or someone else. And she found she really didn't like the idea of Funk and Glowstar, especially if it had only happened after her apparently insufficient confession. Well, at least, she hated the idea if she couldn't be part of it, but she couldn't very well say that, could she?
