Gravelclaw felt suddenly vulnerable at how close she was, with her voice low and gentle. He figured there was no point in dodging the question now. "I just..." I hesitated, trying to think of how to word it. He made sure to keep eye contact with the she-cat. He didn't want to seem like he was afraid. "I just wanted to be sure I wasn't intruding on anything, you know what I mean?" He said, voice still a tad nervous. He brushed his fluffy tail over hers briefly. Obviously they were close right now, lying together with their pelts touching. "I just wanted to be sure I wouldn't end up angering anyone." He meowed quietly.

Gravelclaw glanced nervously over at Stormstar as he padded out of camp. He was extremely worried about upsetting him. But he relaxed when Brightfire brushed her nose against his cheek. His pelt grew warmer by the second at her comment. "T-Thank you, you too, Brightfire." He stammered shyly. "You know, Riverpaw actually was the one who convinced me to come over and speak with you." He admitted quietly. "I think he's trying to play matchmaker." He purred, sounding a little embarrassed.
-
Gravelclaw always felt himself beaming with pride any time someone complimented his apprentice. He took great pride is teaching the young tom anything he could. With every word she spoke he swore his pelt grew hotter and hotter. "I mean- Well, Riverpaw, he was-...I don't want to-" The tom tumbled terribly over his words, not sure how to answer. Oh, Starclan. Leave it to me to be a bumbling mess around pretty she-cats. He thought, shaking his head quickly. He cleared his throat and made himself look at Brightfire again, his eyes gentle and nervous. He touched his nose carefully to her cheek. "I think I do, Brightfire." He purred quietly.
-
Gravelclaw swore his heart had swelled, and his eyes glowed happily as she intertwined their tails. He gave her ear a quick lick, and then nodded. "He certainly proved himself last night. He's going to make an incredible warrior, and I think he's ready." He purred buzzing with excitement for the young tom. He cast a quick look in Stormstar's direction. "I'll go speak with him now...but before you tell anyone about us I'd like to speak with him about that as well. I just want to be sure he won't be...upset with me." He spoke gently, choosing his words carefully as he began getting to his paws. He'd love to be able officially call Brightfire his mate, but he felt Stormstar had a right to hear about it first.
-
Graveclaw purred and brushed his long tail gently over her flank. "I'll let you know how it goes." He promised, before quickly padding over to where their leader stood. "Stormstar." He greeted, dipping his head respectfully. "May I speak with you?" He asked.
-
Gravelclaw looked on at Foxpaw with amusement. The two seemed to have a good relationship, and that was always nice to see. "Well, I was wondering how you'd feel about making Riverpaw a warrior. I don't know if you saw him during the battle, but he did amazing. He's fighting as if he were already a full warrior, and I'm pleased with his training progress." He said, purring, hoping their leader would agree.
-
Gravelclaw couldn't help but to puff out his chest with pride. He couldn't help it but to be proud to have successfully mentored his first apprentice, and he hoped there would be more. "There's one other thing. But it's a tad more private, if you don't mind." He meowed, gaze flickering over to Foxpaw.
-
Gravelclaw dipped his head as thanks to the young she-cat. The tom took a nervous breath before facing Stormstar again. "So...I understand that Brightfire had admitted to having feelings for you." He paused, and then added quickly "I know this is probably a private subject. But you never gave her an answer right? I swear I have reasons for asking about this." He spoke quietly, smiling gently, his head lowered jut slightly. He didn't want the tom to be angry with him for bringing this up.
-
Gravelclaw nodded with understanding. He couldn't imagine he'd have time to thing about it either, if he was a leader of an entire clan. Especially with the foxes and anything else going on. "Well, Brightfire and I had been speaking and sort of..." He paused. "We spoke about being mates, but I just wanted to be sure I wouldn't be stepping in on something." He said honestly. Her certainly didn't want to be taking someone that wasn't his to take. As soon as he got everything cleared up, he'd feel much better.
-
Gravelclaw nodded carefully. "I understand. I just wanted to be sure. I would never do anything to intentionally upset you." He said, dipping his head. "I think that's all then. I'm sure Riverpaw is going to be thrilled to know he'll be a warrior." He said, beaming.
-
"Thank you, Stormstar." Gravelclaw meowed happily, dipping his head. He turned and began padding towards Brightfire. He wore the expression of an excited kit. He was thrilled about Riverpaw, and about Brightfire. He swore he hadn't been in this good a mood in a while. A purr rose in his throat as he stopped beside her. "Everything is fine. And it sounds like several of the apprentice will be made warriors tonight." He meowed happily, his eyes shining.
-
"Oh, This is great. I don't think I could be happier." Gravelclaw purred deeply, throat rumbling. He rubbed his cheek against hers affectionately. "And Riverpaw is going to be so excited!" He meowed enthusiastically, bouncing on his paws.
-
Gravelclaw looked over at Alderspots and Gorsewind. He seemed completely taken aback at the sigh. "Wow..." He meowed, amused. "I'm honestly...shocked. I never thought Gorsewind would ever find a mate and settle down. To be completely honest, she sometimes isn't the easiest cat to get a long with." He admitted, even though he loved his sister. He watched the pair carefully, flicking his ears. He definitely didn't want to see his sister get hurt, and felt a wave of protectiveness wash over him. "I hope they're very happy together. Gorsewind deserves it." He looked down at Brightfire, giving her a slight nudge. "He must be quite the special cat if he convinced Gorsewind to be his mate." He chuckled, purring.
-
Gravelclaw drew his gaze away from his sister and her newfound mate. He curled up beside Brightfire, curling his tail over her as she spoke about her kin. It made him sad to see how the memories effected her. "I swear to you, when we have kits I will do everything I possibly can to make sure they're happy. No matter what happens, they'll always have us. I'll keep them safe." He meowed quietly, rasping his tongue over her ear.
-
Gravelclaw turned his gaze towards the sky, watching dark cloudy slowly move across the greeting sky. The tom enjoyed rain, it reminded him of the weather from where he and his family lived before he and Gorsewind came here. Early mornings as kits splashing around in puddles. "A little rain never hurt anyone." He purred, pressing his pelt to hers. "Maybe that fox stench will finally get washed away from the territory." He meowed, scrunching his nose.
Gorsewind looked up at the sky, her ear flicking as a single tiny droplet landed on it. She glanced towards her new mate, wondering what the future would hold for them. To be honest she never thought about having a mate, or if she'd ever have kits...a family. She was so focused on her warrior duties that she couldn't imagine putting that on hold, being confined to the nursery.
-
Gravelclaw looked over at the previously napping warrior. "A little rain shouldn't stop us from welcoming new warriors." He purred eagerly, excited to see what Riverpaw's warrior name might become. He settled down in a nest beside Brightfire, flicking a few rain drops off of his ears.
Gorsewind growled in irritation as the rain began coming down. She shook her pelt, trying to get the droplets off of her. She watched as cats began taking shelter in their dens, avoiding the rain.
-
Gravelclaw purred and touched his nose to Brightfire's cheek. "I think I should go let Riverpaw know about the ceremony. I'd like to speak with him before it happens." He meowed, glancing at the den entrance.
Gorsewind sat beneath the branches of a tree at the edge of camp. She could have gone into the warriors den like most cats had, but she was sure it'd be crowded by now. Droplets still snuck through the small leaves, dampening her thick pelt. She twitched her whispers, letting droplets fall off, as she watched dark clouds roll by. She certainly wasn't amused with the weather.

He'd spend an entire day training if he could, eager to become a warrior. He's always smiling, interacting with clan mates and bouncing around the camp and territory.

[hr][/fancypost][fancypost borderwidth=0px; width: 300px;][justify][color=black][size=7pt][font=arial][size=9pt]HISTORY »[/size] Sandpaw was born into Peakclan 9 full moons ago. It was late into the night when Fernwhisker gave birth to a litter of 3 kits. No one besides Fernwhisker knew who the father was, and there is speculation on whether it was a loner or a kittypet. Unfortunately, there were complications during her kitting. One of the kits were stuck for some time, and the birth went on longer than it should have. The queen lost too much blood and had died while giving birth. Cloudkit was the runt, and was stillborn, leaving only Sandkit and Dapplekit as the two survivors of the ordeal.

She more of the strong quite type. She does everything she possibly can in her training to work towards becoming a noble warrior. She is usually relatively serious, and tends to be stubborn. She has a lot of patience and is slightly more mature for her age.

Of course, if I get accepted that'd be wonderful!

Gravelclaw looked down at Brightfire and flicked his tail in excitement. "Well it looks like it'll just have to be a surprise for him!" He purred. "I can't wait to see his reaction!" He mewed excitedly. "C'mon Brightfire, lets go get a good spot." He lightly flicked his tail over her shoulder, ready to see Riverpaw be given his full warrior name.
Gorsewind rose to her paws. "Maybe he's making some of the apprentices warriors." She meowed quietly, looking up at their leader who was calling the clan to him.
