☾ NightClan ☾ the turn of the universe :: roleplay thread ☾ semi-advanced ☾

(I don't mean to be rude or anything, but its bothering me and I would point this out if it were my own thread. The timeframe doesn't work for Northernaurora. She left when the cats were taking out Spacestar and returned as they finished burying her. It would take much longer to get to a cave and back. I think Red said around half a day or something like that. It would make more sense if the kit was found at a border or something, but that's just my thoughts.)

Cursedheart turned her head in the direction of Coalcaw as began speaking. The smile on her maw was genuine for once and her eyes simmered with open merriment, this particular group of toms were a joy to be around. Yet the smile her maw might of falter slightly but only visible to those who knew her exceptionally well. It could of been somewhat more strained after hearing Coalcaw's comments about her. They were nice enough and nothing rude, but it was the straightforward mannerisms the tom spoke in that had her slightly off her game. As if noticing her discomfort with the compliments Thunderpaw spoke up again.
"You know who is really weird? You." The younger cat placed one paw over the other and sighed. "Your also very talkative. Do you ever think before speaking?" Thunderpaw appeared truly curios about this but was hissed at all the same by his older brother. Riddlemask shot him a glare that told him to shut his maw as he began piling dirt over the body in hole.

A pure furred she cat had her head dipped at an angle and was nosing through left over prey. She had been gather her courage as well as giving herself pep talks in order to go visit and check on the tom she highly admire. But had turned tail four tail lengths from his den with the excuse of getting something to eat. She had really been trying hard to at least peek inside and make sure he was okay....but her nerves were always biting. She want to make sure that he wasn't to grief stricken with Spacestar's death, for grief could turn into something she was far to familiar with. In the end she decided to find something for Nightjarstar to eat, but couldn't decided what to bring. Would it taste better if she went out and caught him something...it might if she caught it especially for him. She probably appeared a mousebrain digging in the pile, but Snowblossom was to into what she was doing and thinking about to care.

The snow furred feline continued searching through her small pile she had set aside while narrowing down her choses to baby rabbit and and a rather plump squirrel. She was so engaged in her task she didn't even bother looking up at the one speaking to her. "Hello." She responded yet it was not hard to tell she was not fully with the current conversation. "What am I doing? Well I am trying to figure what I should bring to Nightjarstar. I think he might be hungry, although I am not positive but most toms are usually hungry. But I can not decide if the squirrel is better or the rabbit." She appeared to be deep in thought and gaze intently at both animals as if one would jump and tell that it was better. "What do you think?"

Cursedheart tilted one ear to the side as Coalcaw began apologizing profusely and added another story. She began to beam once again as she listened to his tales of his travels. She didn't mind his chatter, it was rather calming since she never had much to say she preceded listening over speaking. She hadn't been offended more uncomfortable with added compliments. She didn't get very many and often stired clear of toms who gave them. But Coalcaw appeared genuine and he made her laugh, his personality was uplifting and light if not a little childish as well. "Elfinpaw and Coalcaw are the perfect apprentice mentor pair." Thunderpaw announced if nothing more than to get a word in.
"You seem to of lived quite a grand and adventuresome life before Nightclan. I would to hear more about it if we have time to spare later." She told the warrior ignoring the apprentice. It was clear she held no ill will towards the Tom.
"Done, can we head back?" Riddlemask requested as he padded over shaking dirt on Thuderpaw who glowered at him.

(I could have Winterphantom help her, otherwise go and get Thunderpaw. It not like he is doing anything useful right now. Have her take him on boarder or hunting patrol or training they can run into the kit that way.)

Snowblossom was still musing which would be better. The ears were turned in the direction of the voice and in the back of her mind she knew it sounded highly familiar. The answers seemed reasonable enough expect the last one. That one sounded like a Riddlemask answer she was looking for a more thoughtful and factual Thunderpaw answer. She can't just feed the leader a squirrel because it was cool! But Snowblossom wasn't one to openly disagree with cats and merely nodded her head as small kit sized black paws stopped in.front of her. "Hello Snowblossom." The airy and dreamy voice had her looking up into vibrant eyes with a hint of green at the center. "I was eavesdropping." Elfinpaw announced boldly without shame and guilty. "I think you should give Nightjarstar a rabbit for I am sure your hungry as well. But Nightjarstar did say that Nightjarstar liked squirrel so maybe you should listen to his advice and give Nightjarstar a squirrel." Snowblossom was blinking with confusion by the time she was done. "Hello there Nightjarstar." Elfinpaw added as the warrior looked to her side and widened her eyes. Snowblossom swiftly bounced away as her flared hot with embarrassment as she finally notice who she had been talking to.

Riddlemask watched with thinly veiled amusement as Thunderpaw lashed his tail in frustration as he was sprayed with dirt. Thunderous was by no means a clean and proper cat, but it was one thing for him.to get himself dirty and another for someone. It was even more annoying for some reason when it was your sibling. "Riddlemask." He shoveled as the older tom laughed at his facial expression.
The didn't appear to care or even notice that he had done most of the work if he didn't mind it he wasn't going to complain about it.
"Let's head back I want to see if anything else needs to be done before setting up patrols." The toms paused in their tomfoolery to listen to their deputy. She began heading yet paused for the others to walk along side her.

Snowblossom kept her ears plastered down more in embarrassment than anything else. It was good to see that the leader was amused rather than insulted, although she was comfortable enough with all the toms in the clan, even more frightening Winterphantom, she couldn't shake the feeling just yet that they were explosive ticking bombs just waiting to go off. She did manage to lift one ear at a slight angle to hear what it was he was say. If her eyes had widened any more they certainly would of of fallen out of her head. She was doing one of the happiest dances-within her head of course if had Riddlemask's courage she might of done now that would be a big might. Embarrassment had her nearly tripping over her paws as padded over to accompany the leader, shyness had her sitting a little far from Nightjarstar to share a meal, and than that bothersome self consciousness had her tongue and made it hard to talk. She didn't think there were any words that could possible express her gratitude at being allowed to share a meal with the tom. "Thank you." She settled on that as the ears flared another few shades of red.

The deputy trotted back into camp and glanced around as Riddlemask paused beside her clearly eager to be sent on a patrol and help out the clan. Thunderpaw was lost in his own thoughts yet was pulled out of them as he heard his mentor's voice. He slipped around the two cat ahead of her to meet her as she asked about patrol. He shrugged his slowly broadening shoulders, and didn't seem to care what they did so long as he was trainings. The looming shadow of a monstrous sized tom came from his right side. Winterphantom as always lived up to his name, the massive Tom gave no word nor indication he was joining other than merely being there. So Thunderpaw turned his head and told his mentor. "You should tell Cursedheart your taking out a patrol."

Thunderpaw frowned heavily at his mentor's answer, as much as he liked her there were days where he wonder why she held the rank she had. This was one of those many days. He had suggested speaking with Cursedheart because she was going to start sorting out patrols. It would be wiser to let her know one of them was leaving in case she wished to add any more cats or know of one more patrol less she would need to do. She also wouldn't need to send out another patrol to do the same task they were heading out to do. The tom sighed loudly as he cast the expresdionless Winterphantom a glance. The older warrior gave no sign of any disdain of the she cat's chose. But he did wait as Thunderpaw ignored the signal to head out and wander over to the deputy. He gave a swift few words and got a nodded from Cursedheart before padding back over to follow after his mentor, Winterphantom bringing up the rear.

Snowblossom gazed at the tom as he with mismatched eyes, and than abruptly brought them down to her paws. She had been told once or twice about how weird and creepy it was when she stared at a cat for a tad bit to long with different colored eyes. She raised them slightly when the rabbit was passed in her direction, growing slowly more comfortable as the heat in her ears died away to a bright pink color. His comment had a butterfly smile dancing on her maw. "Oh, I meant thank you for sharing with me." She explained almost bashfully. She looked down at the rabbit and parted her maw before taking a small chunk out of it. She had never actually eaten rabbit and often avoided it if possible. Since her little run in with a mother rabbit and her babies when she had first joined the clan Snowblossom was not fond of rabbit. "Ah!" She exclaimed with a large grin and wave of her tail. "This does taste better than vole." She told Nightjarstar as if he understood completely what she was talking about. She passed the rabbit back over to him almost eager to get it back.
