Here's an SRP where Char (kind of) realizes that her best friend still likes her mate: Charear was curled up in her nest, thinking about life. This was it... she had been chosen, and although that made her happier than she could express, there was also the fact that her best friends... weren't. Shellear seemed fine when she told her. But she knew... she just knew that there was something Shellie was holding back. The way she looked at Gooseberryear, it just... there was something she didn't recognize. Honeyear didn't seem to be taking the news well. But Charear didn't feel /that/ guilty, considering Honey was in love with, like, three different toms right now. But her mind kept going back to the way Shellie looked at Gooseberryear. 'He's /my/ mate. She wouldn't... she /couldn't/...' she thought, eyes narrowing. She felt an emotion she hadn't really felt before... jealousy.
