Thornclan, warriors V.2 (now accepting!)

Cloudgaze
♀ || Queen || crushing on Leopardstripe || tags: Leopardstripe

Cloudgaze yawned as if her body was agreeing with Leopardstripe. She listened, and moved to curl around the kits in her nest. "Sleep well Leopardstripe." She whispered softly as she closed her sightless blue eyes.

Wildflight
♂ || Deputy || no crush or mate || tags: Rabbitfur

"I see." Wildflight meowed simply after Rabbitfur gave an answer. He had seemed rather nervous in his response but the deputy didn't see any tell-tale signs of lying as he spoke. Perhaps he was just a good liar though. He began to slow as they approached the first border landmark that he wanted to stop at while saying, "Yes a real shame." The deputy spent virtually no time around the nursery or the queens so he knew very little about the kits or their individual personalities aside from what gossip happened to come his way. He didn't want to accidentally frighten a kit, or worse, hurt one somehow. They just seemed so small and fragile to him. As for the queens, well...They had a tendency to be too dramatic and worrisome for his liking. Wildflight carefully sniffed around for anything that might be out of the ordinary but came across nothing. With a soft sigh, he quickly marked the border and looked to Rabbitfur to see if he was ready to move on.

Rabbitfur released a silent puff of relief the tom didn't pry or seem at all suspicious. Truth was, he didn't see a molly in his future. Or possibly anyone, really. He was a reserved tom that stuck strictly to his duties. That doesn't normally ignite friendships with cats looking to spice up their traditional, repetitive Clan-life. At least, no mollies, with his experience. As they stopped at the border, Rabbitfur watched Wildflight pad off to survery the area and freshen the markers. Likewise, Rabbitfur went off the opposing direction, checking the location for any peculiar scent. So far, nothing stood out against the ordinary. Relieved, he sharpened his claws against a marked tree before meeting up again with Wildflight, who he was surprised to see waiting for him. Normally, patrols went off when they were finished and he was expected to catch up. Not that it mattered to him. He preferred the quiet, and groups of cats made his pelt prickle as if it were crawling with ants. But on a patrol with only Wildflight, he felt oddly at ease.
"Anything?" Although he was almost certain no one else was around, for some reason, he felt he should keep his voice lowered. So his question was a mere murmur.

Wildflight
♂ || Deputy || no crush or mate || tags: Rabbitfur

Wildflight simply shook his head, following suit by keeping quiet as well. He got the feeling that Rabbitfur wasn't much of a chatty type of cat and so that was why he was keeping things down, not because he sensed that anything was off. He gave a flick of his short tail to signal for his companion to follow when he started off again. "So, if you aren't interested in any females at the moment, do you think one might come along in the future?" The deputy asked, trying to go off of what they were just talking about. He heard of some cats that would never take a mate in their lifetime simply because they either weren't interested or no one ever suited their fancy. "If so, what would your ideal mate be?" He hoped that by giving a question that required a more lengthy answer he could get Rabbitfur to open up a bit more.

"Nice talking to you foxpelt" she smiled and padded to the entrance of the apprentice den , she layed down at it's entrance.

Everything was okay here. Good. He exhaled softly and followed after him when Wildflight carried on. But panic once again found its way to him at his question. ... Turns out his failure of a conversation starter was a decent one, more or less. It still lingered. He thought over the question a bit, turning it over and over again in his mind until he saw it in a new light.
"Come along?" Rabbitfur asked, looking up at him. Come along, as in come from outside the Clan? "Oh." He forced a nervous chuckle, looking down at his paws as they walked. "I'm not sure about that. Of course, by the code, anyone is welcome to join, whether they be from a different Clan, half-Clan, or no Clan at all. ... But the code also declares not to have relations with anyone outside the Clan. No, and with my ... with my luck, she'd miss her old life and turn back to it when times are no longer ... shall we say, ideal, whether it be prey getting scarce, or any natural disasters that may befall the Clan." He cringed again, cursing himself for his awkwardness. "The Clan is ..." He hesitated, looking up at him as they walked, "my priority. It's my duty to give my life for it. I can't have myself be distracted." He had let it slip through his paws once. He wasn't going to let that happen again.

But then he considered his second question. Well, technically it built off the first question, so was it really a second question, or just a continuation of the first? ... He was overthinking this.
"An ideal mate ..." Setting duties aside, hypothetically of course, he thought about this. And, hypothetically, his interest in mollies was existant. "She'd wish to serve her Clan as top priority. Looks wouldn't matter, nor build. She'd give the Clan her all. And when she'd done her time, possibly wish to settle down and start a family. Of course, only if the Clan could in turn support them, that is. If not, or having kits simply isn't ideal, a close companionship wouldn't be too much. And, idealistically, we'd leave for StarClan, together." His gaze, which had glazed over from his fantasy, cleared as he shook his head. "But ... a mate like that is unrealistic. I don't have to be told this. Thankfully, I already know." Hey, maybe he'd gotten a hang of the conversation thing? He blinked at the spotted warrior and asked him: "What about your ideal mate? ... What is she like?"

Wildflight
♂ || Deputy || no crush or mate || tags: Rabbitfur

Wildflight was quiet during the entirety of Rabbitfur's speaking but he was paying attention. This was evident by the way he would glance over at the other tom every now and again to view his expression. He had slowed a bit to fall in step with the warrior so that he was now walking alongside Rabbitfur instead of leading him. What the other described as his perfect mate did seem a bit far fetched to him, but not incredibly so at least. "Perhaps you'll have to take two mates to fulfill all of that?" He commented in an almost teasing manner. It was a very real option though in his opinion. Why not take multiple mates if all parties were okay with it? He would count himself lucky though to just find one cat that might be interested in him though, let alone more. Wildflight fell silent once again after he had the question turned back to him. He had never really thought much about what his ideal mate might be like which was a bit odd considering he was the one who had brought up the question. Eventually, he spoke, "I suppose she would have to be loyal to the clan above all else. She shouldn't get all hot-headed over every little thing but I would rather her not be a total pushover either. And I really wouldn't want her to expect me to fight all her battles for her. That would get too tiring. Someone who will encourage me when times get tough and being willing to give compliments on my achievements would be nice." The spotted tom could feel a guilty blush warming his ears as he spoke that last sentence. He absolutely loved being praised especially by those he cared about because it made him feel accomplished and respected but he would never demand it of anyone of course. "I would let her decide if we had kits or not. As long as she is happy in that area, I will be too. In the end I would hope that we both go to StarClan at the same time or she goes before me. I would hate to think that she would spend her last few moons morning because of me." Once he finished he gave an affirmative nod, satisfied with his answer, before adding, "But really, just anyone willing to put up with me would be good enough for me."

"They came b-beck to me not youuuu," Echo grumbled, lapping at their pelts.

Goose sighed. "We smell the same, they probably think that we're the same person."
