Honeykit pawed the ground, then rolled around in the little hole she'd dug. Boredom lapped over her in waves, and she couldnt even sleep. Looking around, she quickly filled the hole back in after getting up, and spotted Cactuskit. "Cactuskit!" She yelped, padding over calmly.

She'd begun to worry he had. "Grab a little prey and i'll tell you while you eat."

As Mikadopaw was padding to the pile, it appeared Oceanpaw was stirring. He walked past her and sighed at the mountainous pile. Maybe I'll get some for Sandysplash! He decided on a rabbit and a vole and walked back to his mentor. He had waited for this day for a long time, without an abusive mentor he could become a warrior at last. As he placed the food in front of her he sat down besides her and with his tail whipping the leaves he began asking questions. "How old are you? What are we doing today? Do you have kin here?"

@Ombre Party sorry I'm so late! I've been a bit busy

CactusPaw squeaked with Excitement. He ran his whole body under her chin, and nuzzled her affectionately. "Oh, HoneyKit! Guess what! Guess what!" HoneyKit was CactusPaw's best friend, and he really liked her.

"the last and only time i had romantically loved someone had been cricket." they said quietly. they..had never said that out loud before. they had felt it for a long time, but was only recently accepting the feelings. it had been so long since she had died...yet they could still remember her death clearly. they smiled softly, even if it held no joy in it."i shouldnt get into that.anyway," they sighed. it was something they had bottled up for awhile, and they didnt know if they wanted to talk about it to cricketpaws dad of all people.

Perhaps Russetswirl could relate to Daydream's situation, in a sense... he'd been heartbroken when Shellfeather had disappeared, for moons on end, with no warning, and bringing their eldest son with them. She wasn't dead, but... it was as if she was a different person now, someone he could barely bring himself to talk to anymore without a hole forming in his chest, words blocked from his throat and ears shut to words. He had Whisperblaze, now... he was in love with him with all of his heart, but Shellfeather's return had still hurt him, in some sort of way. Letting out a small sigh, Russetswirl had been about to comfort Daydream before the name of this love was spoken out loud, the senior warrior's eyes widening in horror for a couple of moments as he glanced down at the ground. Cricketpaw... she'd been his closest child. Perhaps it was wrong to pick favorites, but... she had been his, hadn't she? And Cricketpaw was dead. "I... I'm sorry, Daydream."

"...What happened to her, it broke my heart, too."

She purred and nuzzled him back. "What? What?" Excitement bubbled off her in waves and she couldnt help but nuzzle him again.

(its ok)


While she waited, Sandysplash continued to wash herself, finishing just as he came over with prey and, to her surprise, lied some down beside her. She took the smallest one possible, the vole, and ate it. "Not telling you. Hunting. And of course i do." She scoffed with a sigh. "Now eat and conserve your energy,"

CactusPaw purred happily. "I'm an apprentice!!" He licked her face and hopped around happily.

they ddint know what to say, really. they had never talked about this with anyone. not luckynight, not shinefang, no one. but russet could relate the most, yeah? she was her father. the only cats that could relate how tragic her death was was russet and geckoleaf. and one of them was dead, so. "its okay..ill be okay." they mumbled, more to themselves than anyone else. they wanted to be okay so badly. but with everything riling up again they felt like they couldnt get a break. "the last time i.. had seen her is when she saved me in the flood awhile ago." they mewed, eyes squinting at the ground to try and remember the memory. they could remember how healthy and starry eyes she looked. how daydream wished they couldve gotten closer to her and nuzzled her face just like old times. but they couldnt. maybe in starclan, if daydream got ahold of their grudge towards them, who knew. "when i train heatherfur i still see her nest. i thought if...i thought if i smelled closely it would still have her scent on it, to remember." their tone was quiet. it bugged them. they had forgotten what she had smelt like because it had been so long. had it been fresh water of the riverclan rivers, or the thick scent of herbs from the medicine cat den? they..they just couldnt remember. right now it was only her scent, but what if they forgot her entirely? they would never forgive themselves. they looked away from the ground, up to russet. their were tears edging their eyes but they pushed them away, taking in a deep breath. they wouldnt cry. they wouldnt cry. "i know it must..be awkward, talking about my first love to her father after shes passed," they chuckled lightly, even if it held no humor or joy in it.

Mikado hurriedly finished eating and leaped up to face his mentor. "Can we go out now?" Mikado wanted to get out fast and start to really practise his moves. His old mentor never taught him anything. "Please?" He excitedly raced around the clearing.
