DuskClan | Closed

Leopardpaw's stomach grumbled as the blood dripped down her throat. She let out a small growl and picked up her pace, eager to get back to camp.


Snowstripe gave her a grateful nod and passed the stick off to Petalflower. "You can bite down on this if you need." he meowed.

Adderbite let out a purr "She likes me too." he meowed, glancing at his friend. He flicked his tail, his pelt bristling with excitement.

(WB!)

Soon, they arrived at camp. Spikeflame said his apprentice's catch in the pile. "Good work," he praised before his eyes flicked to the nursery. "I wonder who is kitting."

Sootnose stiffened at the sound of Stormpaw's voice. "What?" he asked sharply, without turning to face her.

Assuming they've been born...)

Firekit squirmed unhappily at his mother's belly, fighting for a place to suckle.

Stormpaw didn't react to his harsh tone at first, it knocked her back a bit. Only the night before had he been a grieving mess; though she could compare the swinging moods to herself and her own attitude problems. "I heard what happened..." She started and trailed off in the middle, beginning again only a moment later, "I didn't think it was very fair of her exclude you. I just wanted to make sure everything was okay I guess." Her tone was soft throughout the short speech, quietly she awaited the return of his loud, harsh voice.

"I'm fine." Sootnose brushed off her words. He wanted to feel not a touch of sympathy, not an ounce of kindness; wanted to let his heart shrivel up and turn bitter because of loss. But unfortunately for him - and not so unfortunately for everyone else - that's not who he was, and the frostbitten shell of his heart warmed at her thoughtfulness.

Stormpaw didn't know what to say or do next, she could only imagine the pain of losing a littermate from the stories her mother used to tell them as kits about her own brother Ashfire and how he faught in the great battle against Iceclan. The tiny she-cat shuddered at the thought of losing any of her brothers, even if she often faught with them. Hanging her head, her blue eyes glanced up at the black warrior as she searched for something else to say to him.

Sootnose's head turned slightly, so he's bright amber eyes met her own blue. "...thank you. You should get back to camp. They'll worry." his gaze drifted forward and his head moved back, though he didn't take a step.

[SchyBug]

Stormpaw nodded to him as she took a small step backwards ready to leave. Turning her head the molly was about to head back to camp as told when she noticed Sootnose wasn't moving either, "Are you sure you wouldn't like some company?" She asked him, already protesting the fact that someone would worry before he could respond, "My mother is usually out patrolling anyways and same with my father. My brother's usually don't care about where I am and Goldstripe has been busy with Adderbite lately." The words just spilled out of her mouth quickly before he had a chance to interrupt her.

Sootnose pawed the ground. "I guess if you want to tag along it'd be okay." He felt sorry for the poor she-cat. Her he was with no family, and it didn't seem hers cared all that much.

[Dinolil1]

Frostkit- She squeaked as her brother pushed her. The tiny kitten crawled blindly to find those teats.

Graypaw- Overhearing stormpaw, the tom was shocked. He did care for his sister so much. He did. Shaking his head, graypaw lay down.

[C a s]

I don't think Grapaw could overhear, they're in the forest. x))

[SchyBug]

Stormpaw was a bit unsure of what had changed the tom's mind, though she didn't ask. Instead she just gave him half a smile, "Thanks." She piped up, though her tone was still heavy with sorrow for Sootnose's loss. Padding over to him, the molly looked up, "Where are we going?" She asked curious about where he had been going when she stopped him.
