{You know the drill... dino, that is your THIRD STRIKE. Okami, that is your second.. I said I didn't want to ever see your signatures posted again on this thread. Dino, one more slip up and, sad to say, you'll be booted. Though I don't want to ban you, I will if it comes down to it. I don't have much tolerance for things like this after both of you guys are aware of me constantly addressing you on this..}

The quiet, shy individual watched the affair between the elder and the younger warrior, his tail whisking at the cool air and his long, curly whiskers twitching. Arguing or engaging in such a way with Cactusfoot was pointless... the cunning, grumpy tabby always won, but apparently poor Larkpelt didn't realize such. He nodded his fluffy, bulky head as the brown and white male agreed with him on how the Clan would survive even through harsh times, and felt like an elder when he murmured, "Well, I've got to give it to Cactusfoot, he has a point. If we are consumed with worrying about what happens now, we'll be too lost in our worries to enjoy life itself and the youth we have."
Since when did I become so wise? Ah, well, I guess it's because Larkpelt is so intent on being gloomy. I may he awfully secluded and not too willing to interact with other felines, but that doesn't mean I'm remorseful.. Jackalhowl mused.

➹ Scorchstar ➷ Tomcat ➹ Leader of DesertClan ➷ 39 moons old - eight lives left ➹ Tags; Quailfeather ➷
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Scorchstar allowed himself another wry chuckle at her cactus comment, happy that he could trust the molly and happy that he could confide in hr without having to worry about her judging him and his decisions.. It felt rather nice to have formed the beginnings of a friendship with Quailfeather, and the orange tabby only hoped this relationship would last. Most cats didn't stay close to him for long, and the stoic, tall leader only hoped that the mottled female would prove that theory wrong in the long run.
He listened to her speak, nodding his skinny head and still laughing softly, especially when she mentioned his rumbling purr. Sandfur had said the same, once upon a time.. Scorchstar subtly shook his head as he dwelled on his deceased partner, wondering why he'd put Quailfeather in the queen's place. He didn't need to think on Sandfur - it was... too painful.
What he had with Quailfeather, or what he would have, was precious, but he knew he'd never learn to love another like he'd loved Sandfur again.. Still, it was nice to have the she-cat's comfort, he couldn't deny that.
Now that he'd made a connection between the she-cats, Scorchstar grew a little uncomfortable, afraid that, if he opened his jaws, he'd say something starkly offensive and drive Quailfeather off.. The last thing he wanted was to bring up Sandfur before the silver and white tabby, now that would be awkward and could easily become a tricky scenario. Not knowing what else to do, he lapsed into silence, and so did Quailfeather, both cats lost in their thoughts as they studied the bleeding sky.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Hawkcry noted Batpaw's slight trembling when he placed his paws rather awkwardly on his bulky shoulders. The dark warrior grinned cockily and aloofly, knowing that the tomcat knew, fully well, just how powerful he was and just how easily he could beat an opponent. But I can't crush his will just yet.. Toy with him for a while longer before getting more serious, eh, Hawkcry?
With that, the pale blue-eyed brute wriggled his shoulder from the blind tom's grasp, ripping free. He still balanced precariously on his hind legs, but sooner or later his toned legs would buckle, for he'd never been too hot at staying upward for long periods of time. Before he toppled over and embarrassed himself, with his claws sheathed, he raked his paw across Batpaw's bony chest, swiping at the apprentice just to see his reaction.

"Cougar?" Flarepaw pricked her namesake ears, now intrigued though still wary in the emotional, unstable apprentice's pretense. Halfpaw looked ready to snap, so the black molly kept her distance, though she did settle down on her angular haunches to inquire more. Now seated beside the half-eyed tom, she added, still curious, "Never heard of a cat with the name Cougar before... Must've been a passing rouge, eh, then?" At his comment on how terribly ugly he was and how forsaken he was to look at, the thin, slightly short molly narrowed her emerald eyes with annoyance and rolled them. Flarepaw hissed, spitefully, "Are you serious, Halfpaw? Ugly? No chance of love? I say who gives a coyote's tail about this whole love thing.. Why in the world does that even matter to you? Here you are, with only one eye and low self-esteem, and all you can think about is whether or not you're desirable in a female's eyes.." She wrinkled her slender muzzle, completely put off by the black cat's ludicrousness now. "That's pretty pathetic, even for you, Halfpaw."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

"Thank you, Lakefur! Show that good for nothing scavenger what you've got!" Noeyes rasped as the male quickly said goodbye and was off, out of camp in a flash and making a soft breeze hit the molly in the face. Knowing that her job was done, alerting the warrior to the issue, and knowing that there wasn't anything else she could do, the Russian blue got her bony feet to move again. She walked slowly towards the Oasis lake - she could sense easily were it was due to how the ground sloped down towards it and how its waves lapped against its banks - and before long she was in the shallows of the water. Leaning her thin neck out cautiously so that she didn't go tumbling into the cool waters, Noeyes took a long swig of the liquid, filling her parched jaws and filling her belly to her heart's content.

As it grew late, Rattlestorm had paid no mind to his surroundings until then. Having not noticed Aloewatcher earlier, he instead snuck back to camp.
However, the young tom didn't go unnoticed upon his return.
Sandystrike had woken, and finding Rattlestorm sneaking back to camp made the worried she-cat furious. She raced over to him and snapped, "Where have you been?! You know you aren't supposed to be out alone! What's gotten into you?!" She narrowed her eyes at him and brought a paw down over his head, though careful not to hurt him. "You had me worried sick! I'm supposed to protect you!"
Rattlestorm stared at her wide-eyed. "I...I...uh..." He was in shock that she had gotten mad at him, shuffling backwards. His paws gave out on him and he fell with an oof!, trembling under Sandystrike's angered gaze. "I'm sorry, Sandystrike..."

After Softberry's nuzzle, the tom relaxed and purred softly. He rested in the nest for a while longer, wondering if he would be able to go find Scorchstar and tell him his decision.

Noeyes lifted her scraggily-furred, ancient head from the Oasis lake's waters, her ears flicking back as she heard a pair of cats arguing rather raucously by the camp entrance, just behind her. The elder turned her head slowly to face the commotion, and was alarmed to discover that the felines fighting were Rattlestorm and Sandystrike.. The reason for her surprise and concern was simply because the two hardly ever fought.. but then again, Noeyes didn't know the full story on their predicament yet.
Turning fully and padding over to the young cats, Noeyes rasped, a little curtly, "What seems to be the problem, here, you two?" Once in earshot of them.

Thorn
I silently approach the spot is seen Flarpaw moments ago. I breath in her warm scent, the heartache of our relationship truly sinking in. I have to apologize. I said I hated her, but I don't. I couldn't. I silently put one tabby paw in front of the other. Tomorrow I'll find her. I'll force her to hear me out. I can take this pain anymore.

Mossleap
My gaze sizzles with annoyance. "Excuse me for giving the impression that it was a suggestion. We go. Now." I stand. I'm now towering over the white cat. My pelt prickles with hostility, my politeness vanished.

Silverkit(open)
I lay in the warm sun, my small eyelids drooping with exhaustion.

Breezepaw(open)
I lick my jaws in satisfaction at my meal. I turn my eyes to the horizon. The sun will be setting very soon. I sweep the feathers from my prey away with me tail. Settling down in a patch of sunlight, I start to groom my spotted fur.

Stormdapple(open)
I walk into the camp, swiftly dropping my prey on the large pile. I trot into the cool shade of the Warriors den, settling down to watch over the large clearing.

Dovestrike
I stand beside the Tom. My eyes are warm with affection at the comfort he provides by merely standing at my side. Meeting another expecting queen yet again reminds me of the longing for my own family. I shift my blue gaze to Troutsplash. I wonder if the Tom has the same intentions of someday having kits. Better yet having a litter with me. I turn my eyes back towards the camp entrance before me. I slightly pity our leader. So many rouges we've brought in. And theirs at least one more out there. I push the thought away with a shake of my head. Scorchstar is the strongest cat I know. He can surely handle himself. With or without my pity.

[yeeee.]

{Spottedpaw and Mistcloud are open - I'm not exactly sure where to throw them in, and my posts are pretty bad - don't feel like starting any more interactions atm ;v;}

Snow glanced at the now menacing Mossleap, his baby blue eyes just locking on her for a few seconds without any words. The mirage is shattered. But not allowing himself to show even the slightest bit of emotion, the pearl tom rose, and wordlessly padded to the camp tunnel. Keeping his maw shut, keeping his thoughts in check, Snow would not give the satisfaction of any cat seeing what he truly thought. At least not now. Stopping for just a moment, he lifted his gaze to the bleeding hues of the sky. He'd waited too long. The coyotes would be out soon, and he had traveled all of the miles without resting. Where would he sleep? The question itself didn't bother him as much as the very fact that he was still asking it, but he kept his maw shut. Not something he was typically good at, but now, he was, mostly owed to silent shock of what was to come. Slipping into the first of the thorns, Snow murmured then, "You shouldn't follow me, dear - the coyotes will come out soon, and a young thing like yourself will not last a heartbeat." The same sweet, silky tone, even though Snow felt anything but. Worming his way through the brambles that had tugged as his torn pelt earlier, Snow then remembered he hadn't even cleaned his bloody pelt. It doesn't matter now. Snow kept going, forcing himself not to dwell - not yet, anyway. There were too many eyes thirsting for his discomfort, and even in this deadly scenario, he wouldn't give the comfort. Never.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Batpaw knew Hawkcry was smirking. Even with his blindness, the silence, the silent laughter was something the blind apprentice was very familiar with. This will not be a repeat of the past. You will see that, Hawkcry. Very, very, very soon. Pelt bristling, the ebony tom forced himself to keep his maw shut, forced himself to keep trying, keep focusing, even if it seemed in vain. Licking his dusty maw, the petite tom kept his tail close to the ground, ready to whip it for balance in case Hawkcry tried something - which was inveitable - the question now was when. As if one cue, Hawkcry squirmed out of his grasp too quickly for Batpaw to adjust. The tall tom found himself on air, and in that moment, he was thankful for all of the swimming and jumping in the past that allowed him to keep his balance. Staggering just a bit, Batpaw quickly found himself on his hindlegs, off-balance but only slightly.

But then, he felt his balance sway as a thick paw swiped across his narrow chest, threatening to topple him over. Staggering, Batpaw instinctively found his hindlegs straining to keep him upright, and his body staggering side to side. I'm petite. That was my downfall on direct sparring - Hawkcry was able to just flip me like a kit. But I may have the advantage here, his bulk is much too hard to balance for long.... It took Batpaw a couple of seconds to regain his balance, first looking like he was about to fall sideways, but he caught himself. You will see I'm not a helpless, squeaking kit! Now back on his paws, the fiery anger that had hit him as he floundered helplessly on the ground slammed him again, and Batpaw threw his left paw forward in a rather fast manner, attempting to strike Hawkcry on his broad shoulders with another front paw blow, and hopefully topple him.
