Catching Up

[{Snarky}]

Swiftcloud sat in camp, stretching out unused muscles after all her time in the nursery. Her kits would be apprentices soon, and she hadn't left the nursery since they were born! Had it really been that long? She scoffed as she remembered the queens kicking her out...they would take good care of her kits for the day. She looked around, eyes adjusting to the bright sunlight as she tried to find something entertaining to do for the day. She looked longingly toward the forest, and finding nothing stopping her, padded out of the entrance and into the welcoming trees and scents that greeted her.

A lonely figure padded between the bramble thickets, his grey and black fur swishing in the soft breeze. Azure eyes adjusted to the light, as he had just gotten out of the warrior's den, from a long-night's sleep. Streching a bit, Bluespirit made his way through the thickets to his all-favorite-place in the Thunderclan camp, a big oak in the very far end of this thicket part. Laying under the cooling shade of the oak, Bluespirit enjoied the view of the sun over the land. Being alone was the best thing had had done in a long time..

OOC: Bluespirit is not very friendly. He's cold and serious and VERY VERY VERY sharp-tongued. So don't spect anything nice from him. The only cat that is his friend in Thunderclan is Daylight (she's mine,) and Bluespirit doesn't become friends or even give respect to just anybody, they have to gain it. So you may have a hard time RPing with me here...lol.... srry...

[{Snarky}]

Swiftcloud padded around, enjoying the temporary freedom she had been given. She meowed out softly as she stepped on a sharp twig that pierced her delicate paws, causing a few drops of blood to drip down. She padded carefully, limping slightly, over to a large tree and laid down, picking up her paw to lick at the sore pad. Checking closely for splinters, she meowed to herself,

"That hurt. Too much time in the nursery must have made me soft to a warrior's life..."
She looked up to see another cat from her clan sitting and watching her. Blushing, she laid her paw down and tried to hide the fact she had hurt herself so soon after leaving camp.

[[PuRe]]

Rolling his azure eyes, Bluespirit snorted and just layed his head down. So much for a peacefull, lonely morning... She-cat's can be so dumb sometimes.. He thought, looking the other way as form the she-cat was. He didn't even say hi, or introduced himself, he just layed there as if she wasn't there, and that's how he wanted it to be.

[{Snarky}]

Swiftcloud sighed, realizing he wasn't going to comment on her stupidity, and laid her head down. Her sky blue eyes scanned the area below her, searching for anything worth chasing after. Seeing nothing, she realized part of her had been looking for Thornshadow. How she missed him...she hadn't seen him since before she had given birth to their kits 5 moons ago. He must have left or she would have seen him...

Her tail flicked at the bittersweet memories. Maybe her day off from raising kits would just be spent thinking since she could now think without being asked millions of different questions. She licked her muzzle, tasting the remains of her breakfast on them as she closed her eyes when a burst of wind ruffled her white pelt. After the wind died down, she opened her eyes to again survey the land. Still, nothing was down there...

[[PuRe]]

With the calmness in the air, Bluespirit soon fell asleep. And in a moment, anyone could hear tiny, soft snores coming from him. His thick tail swishing behind him, his fron paws under his chin. He started dreaming again of his long-dead sister, Hushedpaw. A silvery tear stroke down his cheek, his tail stopped moving..

[{Snarky}]

Swiftcloud's ears flicked at the sound of snores coming from the other cat. She picked up her head to look at him, and saw a shiny tear fall silently. She became concerned, wanting to awaken him but not sure how he'd take it. She rose to her haunches, wincing as tight muscles stretched to allow the movement. She pressed her nose gently into his soft fur, nudging him softly.

"Are you ok?"
she asked, tail flicking behind her as she waited for him to respond.

[[PuRe]]

Bluespirit awoke, Hushedpaw's image vanishing form his mind. He felt the she-cat nudging him soflty on the ribs. Jumping back from the sudden fright, Bluespirit hissed, fur bristeling. "Why did you do that for!?" His tail swished in anger, his azure eyes became tiny drawn slits. I knew that as soon as she had comd I should have left! This is why I deserve for wanting to be alone... He thought angrily, snorting, growling, and turning away, padding to the small tree that was just infront of the big oak. Laying there, he took a hateful look at the snowy white she-cat, growled under his breath and layed his head back down.

[{Snarky}]

Swiftcloud's face fell as her paws were rooted to that spot. Maybe she should have never left the nursery after all...

"I just wanted to see if you were ok..."
she meowed quietly, turning and preparing to lay down again when she saw the spot where she had been laying had a tiny pool of blood there. Picking up her paw, she noticed it was still bleeding. It was just a tiny cut, it shouldn't bleed this much...She licked it gently, wincing at the tender pain. She turned her eyes back up to the tom, hoping he wasn't angry with her.

[[PuRe]]

Bluespirit got his head up at the scent of dripping blood. He looked at the she-cat, and saw that her paw was stained with a bit of blood, but where she was laying was a pool of it. It must be a really deep cut.. He thought. Sighing with anger at himself, Bluespirit padded up to the she-cat and said, dryly. "Let me take a look at your paw.." He sat down infront of her, his head held high, and his powerfull, fluffy chest full of pride. He sat there, waiting for the she-cat's response, not caring whether she would let him take a look or not, he was just doing this because his mom taught him to follow the Warrior Code strictly. And this she-cat was from his own clan, so wether he liked it or not, he had to help her...

[{Snarky}]

Swiftcloud was surprised at the tom's response to her problem, but she just sighed. She contemplated about how she should respond before saying quietly,

"It really isn't bad..."
She pushed her paw forward, leaving it in front of him to inspect if he really wanted to. She kept her eyes locked on his, trying to decided what to do. Her ears fell as she realized her mate should be with her...she missed Thornshadow...she shook her head of the sad thoughts and looked back to Bluespirit.

[[PuRe]]

Bluespirit examined the paw. Remembering what his mom taught him when he was sick, he went away for a moment. In some seconds, he came back with cobwebs. Looking better at the paw, Bluespirit noticed a clack thing in it. Getting the she-cat's paw close to his teeth, he pulled out what seemed to be a very long thorn. And it was a long thorn. Spitting out the thorn from his mouth, he got the cobwebs and placed them on the she-cat's paw.

Looking at her again, Bluespirit just meowed. "There, no more blood.." And padded back to his tree.

[{Snarky}]

Swiftcloud's eyes widened in shock as the thorn was pulled from her paw. Managing to stifle a yowl of pain, she opened her mouth to thank the tom when he padded back to his tree. She laid down, leaving her paw upturned to allow the cobwebs to sink in.

"Thanks a ton!"
she called out to him sincerely. Sighing, she realized she was alone again.

[[PuRe]]

"Uhu.." Was everything Bluespirit responded. Swishing his tail, he rapidly went to sleep again, this time, it was a peaceful dream, where Hushedpaw's death didn't come to his mind.

Minutes later..

Bluespirit awoke, apparently tha snowy-white she-cat was still there. Streching and yawning, Bluespirit padded to the back of the tree, where the she-cat could not see him. Nature was "calling" him...
((LOL, well, he needs to do his necesities XP lol.. ))

[{Snarky}]

((LOL))

Swiftcloud's tail swished as she let her eyes rest on the falling sun, trying to decided if she should get some rest or go back to the nursery. Her ears flicked as the tom moved, but her head stayed statue still. She sighed, loving the beautiful colors that played across the sky like a painting. Her tail flicked again and her paw felt better, so she tucked it under her warm body as she let her mind wander.
