She was such a sore sport that even Umbraice had second thoughts of keeping her in his presence because he didn't want her inflicting her bad mood on him. The way she was acting wasn't quite like herself, and while he thoroughly enjoyed the cat and mouse games they played with one another, or the back and forth bickering, her depressed state made it really hard and uncomfortable for him to enjoy being around her. Auroraflame was a pretty cool cat to be around bouncy and friendly, goofy and sarcastic; a friend that he liked to be around that could keep him on his paws and make his day worthwhile in case he was bored with nothing to do. Like now. Even though the whole war was over, and quite confusing as it was for him, the tom settled down in camp for a couple days to be with his clan. It was the best choice without anyone questioning his whereabouts when he pretty much liked to leave the perimeter of camp to tend to his own devices. He suffered a few cuts here and there, but nothing too extreme where he needed to have the medicine cat tend to his wounds. For now, Umbraice stayed wandered in his own thoughts, laying comfortably on his back as a small ball of rolled moss dangled through his paws, idly playing with it. He wasn't really interested in the moss ball planted between his paws, but the sky was a pretty sight, and the wind blew a crisp cold air through his short pelt that sent shivers down his spine, but he chose to ignore to remain content instead of retreating to somewhere more warmer. His mind absentmindedly rolled the ball around his claws. @Empress Of Evil

Auroraflame was deputy again. It felt good, but at the same time the she-cat knew that she couldn't let herself seem too excited, else it would make her look bad considering the flat mood she had been in not too long ago. Auroraflame knew that she could be considered a loser for the way she had reacted to the loss of her position, but honestly it had angered her so much that she had become unsure of herself. If anything, her demotion had been a hard slap that had reminded her of how life could totally drag someone down in a moment. Her promotion had then in turn reminded her that things would get better eventually. Nothing lasted forever, and eventually life would move on.

The battle was still fresh in her mind. She remembered how confused she had been as to whose side she would fight on. In the end, she had chosen to fight with the peacemakers, despite her original determination to fight with SkyClan and prove her loyalty to them. Auroraflame wasn't sure how or why, but Grousestar had changed his mind and returned her to her position. She wanted to ask him, but she was hesitant about it. Maybe she could ask later on.

The feline padded across the camp, her icy gaze having landed on a familiar silver tom earlier. With a glint of anticipation in her eyes, she made her way to the tom, eager to see what they would be discussing this time. Auroraflame and Umbraice always seemed to have interesting discussions. Or rather, they had interesting arguments. The two rarely spoke to each other normally since they spent so much time bickering.

Once she had made it to Umbraice's spot, she moved forward so that her face loomed above Umbraice's, blocking whatever view he may have been looking at. "Did the kits get sick of losing to you in mossball?" she asked in a teasing tone. She was referring to their last conversation, where they had argued whether or not it was good to win a game of mossball when versing a group of kits.
