Luckily she had gotten a chance to escape the madness when a fellow queen had offered to watch Tawnykit and Streamkit so she could get some fresh air. She smiled as she saw her son Harrierclaw walk into camp. Finally, someone she could vent her frustrations on!
"Harrierclaw come here, dearie! I need to speak to you!" Gorsebird purred, using a tone she hardly used on any cat let alone Harrierclaw. |
Harrierclaw ambled casually into camp with a flick of his tail and a satisfied sniff, fluff from a quick spat with a RiverClan cat still sticking out from between his toes. Not even two heartbeats after he had plucked the fishy-smelling fur out of his claws, the tom heard a familiar voice calling his name; one that made the tip of his tail ripple. He peeked over his shoulder with round, owl-like eyes that you would be more likely to see on a kitten who was about to get in trouble, than a fully grown Warrior, and caught a glimpse of his mother as she left the Nursery. Unlike some of his siblings, Harrierclaw didn't normally get the brunt of Gorsebird's scolding growing up, in fact he almost never got a word in before yowling was involved.
At her purr, his fur-tipped ears flicked inquisitively, what he later would suppose was more like morbid curiosity, and he padded over to see what his mother wanted.
"Hello Mother, Gorsebird," the tabby meowed, leaning over to give her a quick pass cheek-to-cheek, "what's on your mind?"
[ooc: Do cats here use 'Mother' or their Warrior names? XD Sorry if it sounds awkward.]
