to brindleface, how did you meet sandstorm’s father?
"Please don't tell anyone. It's too shameful. Especially with the curse-stuff going around… I used to be glad that Frostfur assumed Whitestorm was Sandstorm’s father—she was so insistent on knowing the father, and kept pushing that it had to be Whitestorm since we couldn’t ‘just be best friends,’ and when I wouldn’t budge, I thought she gave up, but I overheard her telling Bluestar that ‘kin shouldn’t mentor kin’ when Sandstorm was apprenticed to Whitestorm—but, anyway, now…? …I’m beginning to think it doesn’t matter who you’re related to, or who you hang out with…”

“I… don’t like thinking about him anymore but… sometimes, I wonder where he is or what he’s doing…? Does he know he’s a father? Is that why he left?”
