Sands and Seas [Semi-Lit Winged Cat RP] Accepting!

[FoldєdPapєrHєarts]

Rayven watched as Flicker turned to face him. She seemed...agitated. Or maybe he was just imaging things. After all, besides the fight earlier in the day and almost dying, what did she have to be mad about? As he thought it over, Rayven realized that she had a lot to think over. Sighing softly, he looked over at Tucker. "I'm going to see if Flicker is okay; she's had a long day." Then, after he realized what he'd said, he flattened his ears in an irritated manner. "Er, but it's not like I care, or anything." To cover up his words, he quickly added; "Come with me, if you're finished eating." Rayven flicked his tail slightly before striding towards the she-cat. When he reached her, he dipped his head slightly in greeting. "Hello," he murmured, his tone soft and slightly hushed, as it usually was.

Flicker turned around, trying hard to conceal the anger in her eyes at Dance. "Oh, hey." she muttered, her voice quiet. She'd heard speaking about how she felt about things was good for her but...well, some thing she felt she shouldn't tell people. Worry built up inside her chest as she realized what might happen if she burst out into ranting about Dance. Oh, dear Felis, that wouldn't be good.

Rayven sat across from Flicker in the sand, his head tilted ever-so slightly to one side. He studied the other cat, his eyes narrowed in concentration. She made no sense. Earlier, she'd gotten herself into trouble for shouting at their Commander for backing him up, which had made no sense. Then, she'd got into trouble for disrespecting the Royal Flock. She'd had no reason then, either. Rayven resisted the urge to shake his head in confusion. He didn't understand her, or any she-cats for that matter, and he doubted he ever would. "Er...how are you feeling?" he responded awkwardly. He could sense the anger emitting from her, but he didn't know where it was coming from. Hopefully it wasn't directed towards him.

Flicker sighed, "I-it's too complicated." she muttered. And it involves you... she desperately wanted to add but obviously didn't. "It's just...I'm just tired of how the Royal's treat everyone else. Everyone 'lower' than them." Flicker was surprised she had said that at all and turned her head around to watch the sunset, "The sunset is nice," she said abruptly, meaning it but not sounding like she did.

Dance sunk her claws into his back an instant before he attempted to throw her off. She slid foreward, but kept her claw grip. "Sorry," She managed, before she lost her weak grip and flew off of him. Dance began to plummet towards the ground, spreading her wings and floating back up on a warm updraft. Her carefree laughter echoed down the cliffs and across the sea, reaching from one end of camp to another and pleasantly ringing through the air. "This is fun!" She gasped, unphased by her failure. "Let's try again!"
Never in her life had she felt so carefree. For once, her mother's stern, ever watchful eye was not upon her and she could be herself without being scolded. It felt wonderful to apologize for everything, to have good manners and feel like a normal cat, not the future Queen. It was quite marvelous.

"I see," Rayven replied casually, although not quite convinced. Sure, the Royals treated all of the other cats as if they were nothing but sand caught between their claws. However, Rayven had gotten used to it, and ignored it. Actually, he ignored the way most cats treated him and, to tell the truth, the Royals were just another group in that category. He knew he should treat them with the utmost respect, but that didn't always happen. Thankfully, he hadn't slipped up yet and therefore hadn't gotten scolded for his careless, uncaring attitude. "Why is it suddenly bothering you now, though?" Rayven had known Flicker since he was a young kit. When he'd just turned into a fledge, and had begun to fly, she'd supported him despite not having wings of her own. He knew quite a lot about her, and it hadn't seemed to him that she'd ever had a problem with the Royal Flock before. Why now? When she mentioned the sunset, Rayven shot her a look and simply nodded. He didn't really notice or care about those types of things, but he'd humor her. "It's all right, I suppose," he responded with a mere shrug.

Nyx watched him for a moment, perking up her ears as she heard him murmur. Realizing he wasnt getting up, she trotted out of the cave, letting the warm wind blow through her fur. She hoped Peregrine would wake soon, she wanted someone to hunt with

Flicker turned back to Rayven, "It's just...the way Dance treated m-us. She's hardly older than us yet she feels it's okay to act superior because she's a Royal. I know I should get used to it but...but sometimes I feel it's sorta true..." her voice began to become lower and quieter as she said this last part, "...that she's better than me because she has wings and that she's Royalty." This was strngly true and it hurt her to say it out loud.

Peregrine rested his head on his paws again and looked up at Nyx, she seemed to be waiting for him. "You're not going to take a nap, are you?" he asked tiredly, yawning. He was in that sleeping state of mind and didn't really want to get up. "You realize that the chances of there being any prey out are low unless you;re looking fr worms, right?"

[Caribou.]

"Yeah, but who cares? If we look, I bet we find find at least one piece of prey" Nyx said as she rolled her eyes, a grin on her face. she flicked her ear to side, waiting for him to get up

Dance glanced down and saw Raven talking to Flicker. She furrowed her brow, then turned back to Adrian. I will not let her ruin my newfound happiness. She thought to herself, then watched him to see what he would do next. Her wings lightly beat the air as she waited. Glancing at Flicker again, she thought She looks upset. Maybe too upset to just be mad over Rayven. Either she's overemotional, or something else is bothering her...
