Re: Cattail Pond
 
Having rounded Foxpaw up rather early in the morning, ignoring any complains the apprentice may or may not have had, Kestrelstar made his way quickly out of camp and along the trodden path that led to Cattail Pond. Clouds covered the sky as a chill breeze was in the air. Swimming lessons while it was this cold weren't... ideal, but it was an integral part in being ready for one's assessment.

Casting a glance towards the molly behind him, who was practically as big as he was what with her being a warrior's age already, he asked, "You ready to get your fur wet today?" A small grin as he turned his head back around, paws stopping at the edge of the pond. Ripples softly brushed up against his paws and for the first time in awhile a smidge of happiness befell him. Swimming was something he loved to do - and was rather good at. It had been a long time since he'd felt any amount of happiness; it was a welcome emotion.

Foxpaw sighed. She was super tall at least. Uh...Is this water clean? She sniffed the air and gagged. She then sniffed the water edge. She ended up geting some sucked up her nose. Which caused her to sneeze for a few seconds. After it settled. She put her paw into the water.Its cold! She yelped as she jumped. The water was cold.Very very very cold. It reminded her of lionstorm.

Eaglepaw walks through to cattail pond, his long fur catching on many types of plants - brambles included. He sees a glimpse of silver-grey fur , and a familiar scent fills his nostrils and his heart soars. With a light skip in his step, he walks to the silver she-cat. "Hello, Silverpaw. I see you're fishing." He says softly, trying not to scare her.

Eaglepaw nods. "If you look at the sky, you'll note that the fish doesn't come around at this time." He says softly, smiling at her.

Re: Cattail Pond
 
During a time of day where most of RiverClan was out and about, and very busy, Plumstorm slips away to the Cattail Pond. She was alone, but that didn't matter. What mattered was how many unbroken cattails she could manage to bring back to camp.

Ensuring no one was around before beginning the process, the silver warrior starts to break the cattail stalks down until they were easily transportable back home. She could only manage to get five of the stalks (she'd left bits of the stem long enough to grip between her teeth) at a time, but had picked double that. So, it would be a hard walk back home. But her impatience could sit on the sideline for a little while today. She had a mission.

"Then I am glad!" Eaglepaw beams. "I found a shell for you." He holds out a light silver and light pink shell with swirling markings.

Eaglepaw looks down at the small stone, noting it looks similar to the shell he gave Silverpaw. "Thank you, Silverpaw." He beams.

Trotting out from camp under the weak rays of sunhigh, Kestrelstar slowed his pace as Cattail Pond finally came into view. It had been quite some time since he had been here. With leaf-bare fast approaching, it wouldn't be long before the pond began to freeze over and swimming lessons here would no longer be an option.

Casting a glance over his shoulder to make sure his apprentice had followed him out of camp. "Alright, so tell me. What is your experience with swimming?" Inquisitive yellow eyes watched Foxpaw as he waited for her answer, wondering where they should start.

She nodded.Foxpaw was super excited. Although she was very scared of water.SHe looked at kestrelstar and then at the pond.Uh oh. Water... W-w-with water? You could tell she was very nervous.

I-I-I don't know anything...She stepped back a bit. She shook her head. Foxpaw hated water. It reminded her of the ocean.And then of ice. Icestar..Bad bad Ice-star.Uh..Is it gonna hurt me?? She asked.

@implimm

The muscular tuxedo stalked the moist earth, looking for the perfect fishing spot. She was out here to hunt for her clan and possibly, to think. Lizardfrost liked thinking. That harsh, pragmatic thinking based entirely round logic. Yet somehow it didn't seem enough. For one thing, she was concerned about handling Floodpaw. The demoted warrior was her responsibility now. But considering her actual aprentice had betrayed them during the battle (or so she'd heard), she wasn't sure how to go about this.

Of course, so far she was employing her tried and true tactic: working, Ever since the Snakeheart incident Lizardfrost was trying hard to sink into her work. Today, she was running on 6 hours of sleep and hadn't eaten since yesterday. She had already been on a solo border patrol, catching prey along the way, collected clean moss for nests and now was getting ready to fish. Maybe she should collect some herb as well. She felt great!

[ @Shade. ]

The cold was something Plumstorm was quickly learning she did not like very much. Yet she still ventured out on her own, in need of something to keep herself busy. It would be hard to call herself a decent member of RiverClan if all she did was walk around and occasionally find Kestrelstar out in the territory at night.

Her paws bring her back out towards the pond, and she remembers bringing home the cattails to fluff Snakeheart and Kestrelstar's dens. The thought crosses her mind to do the same, but as she is considering it, she sees she is not the only one out so far. "Good afternoon, Lizardfrost," she mews hesitantly. The shield was not very well acquainted with making the first move on another, or perhaps she was and just felt unsure all the same. She didn't know anymore.

Re: Cattail Pond
 
@implimm

Lizardfrost's ears shot up and she turned to face Plumstorm. She had complicated feeling regarding this cat. Well, that was wrong. The correct thing to say was she had complicated thoughts on this cat that in notarial cats would encourage feelings. They both seemed to have seen some form of injustice in the face of the accusations that, after being explicitly ordered to kill, they were to blame for the bloodshed entirely. All of these things Lizardfrost had suppressed immediately. This wasn't what she was supposed to be doing with her life.

Another tie between them was their participation In the shield tryouts, although only one of them had made it. Lizardfrost dud not understand the concept of jealousy. She dud, however, feel just a little but of hatred towards herself for failing. She probably hadn't been working hard enough, that's why she didn't get picked.

She wasn't sure what to do. She knew a greeting was in turn. Maybe then she could get started on fishing. Lizardfrost liked fishing because it didn't require a sense if smell and it didn't make her feel disabled.
"Hello, Plumstorm." she replied calmly.

Re: Cattail Pond
 
[ @Shade. ]

"Fine... Day.."

What was getting into her? The silver she-cat felt... Blocked, somehow, as if there were something suddenly out of place. Something that suddenly felt wrong but she couldn't place what exactly it was, or where the problem lie. She just knew.

Casting her eyes to the ground, the molly frowns and starts over again, committed to creating a semi-decent impression on her Clanmate, rather than a poor image of a Shield. Lifting her gaze once more, she flicks her tail and puts up a front.

"Fine day," Plumstorm says crisply. "Are you fishing? I can't say I enjoy doing that too much, but I have to teach Irispaw sooner or later. Would you mind if I joined you, perhaps?"

Shade. November 30th, 2021 03:20 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
@implimm

Lizardfrost watched the other cat reply. This wasn't exactly notarial behaviour but Lizardfrost could not tell whatsoever. She just stated back blankly. Her mind mostly glossed over the various statements. The pale tabby asked her a question. She thought about it for a moment. Would she mind? What exactly would mind mean? It would mean that she would be somehow impaired by her presence. Lizardfrost did not think that was the case. She could fish normally with someone else around. Unless they purposely attempted to prevent her from doing so.
"I would not mind." She said in the usual relaxed monotone. In all honestly, Lizardfrost was a curious cat and wanted to learn new things so perhaps observing would be good. Maybe even asking questions. However, she didn't want to get too distracted from her work. She found a nice spot by the pond. She would wait to see if the fish head this way. If not, she would simply dive in and get them herself.

Re: Cattail Pond
 
[ @Shade. ]

Relieved to be invited rather than turned away, she nods and rounds the pond as well, peering into it with an expression between curiosity and dislike. She didn't want to get wet, but fishing was... A wet experience, wasn't it? Even if it were just her paw, that was one pondy paw she would need to excessively groom as soon as catly possible!

Plumstorm settles down into a crouch with a sigh and flicks her tail. It was absurd that this was really all fishing was... She preferred the thrill of the hunt to sitting in absolute wait. After a long lapse of staring into the pool blankly while the smaller fish sometimes poked out of the shade, the silver she-cat sets her head down as well. Something was definitely wrong.

Re: Cattail Pond
 
@implimm

Lizardfrost reached her paws in elegantly, letting them float. She wanted to catch as much prey as possible. She had already provided the clan with quite a lot but honestly it was never enough. For some reason the thought of the delicious fish swimming in the pond made her mouth water. She paid little mind to Plumstorm.

Lizarfrost looked around slowly and spotted a big carp floating calmly, pecking at the surface. Moving slightly to the side, she got a little closer. Then she lunged into the pond. She grappled with the carp and water flew everywhere. She slammed it on the shore and delivered the killing bite. Again, she paid little mind to the ow possibly drenched Plumstorm.

plum December 2nd, 2021 12:01 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
[ @Shade. ]

Plumstorm wished that she could place what it was that bothered her, but the she-cat's thoughts were muddled and difficult to read. She settles on staring listlessly into the water, couched not like a poised and waiting fishing cat, but relaxed and loaf-y.

When Lizardfrost lurches into the water, surprise yanks her back into the present and the Shield jumps with shock. Staring at the cat wrestling the large fish, she pulls back, shying from the water. Once it's on land and dead, she lifts her gaze to the warrior and blinks.

Shade. December 2nd, 2021 01:00 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
@implimm

Lizardfrost looked at her catch for about a second before simply placing it between her and Plumstorm and turning to the water. Speaking of Plumstorm, she seemed to have shrunk back as Lizardfrost dived in. Did she not want to get sprayed by the water. Then how was she even going to fish? Lizardfrost did not understand emotions whatsoever. She needed to be explicitly told how others felt and then her reaction would be to say she does not understand but will do as she is told. She was fairly self-aware in areas she did not understand. She was naturally extremely curious but this stuff didn't seem to be something she was ever able to understand.

"You moved back. Is something wrong?" she asked. Just in case it was actually important, like Plumstorm spotting some sort of danger in the water. Also, maybe because she was at least a little curious now.

plum December 2nd, 2021 05:42 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
[ @Shade. ]

"I wasn't expecting it, that's all," she snaps. It was difficult to will herself to stay still, to even say anything in response. Lizardfrost wasn't poor company, rather Plumstorm was today. "Any cat would flinch."

No one alive really knew of her disdain for swimming, she thought. And if they did? Well, whatever. It wasn't as though she weren't contributing enough to the Clan... Or was she? As a Shield, as a regular member of RiverClan even? If the she-cat didn't like to swim, was that enough to make her a poor excuse for a RiverClan cat? Plumstorm frowns and turns away from the other she-cat, peering into the water again. She didn't have the patience for fishing right now.

Suddenly, everything felt sour. Her encounter with Lizardfrost, sitting here staring at the pond, the fish next to her, the idea of swimming. "Look, just keep doing what you're doing," she sighs. "I'm not in your way, it shouldn't be a problem. There's no need to bother me, just like I'm not bothering you."

Shade. December 3rd, 2021 06:44 AM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
@implimm

Lizardfrost didn't understand this behaviour. What she said made sense but not in this context. She had very little social intuition but even she could tell something is off. Ah, it was probably emotions. Hmm...she wondered if she should ask after all.
"Am I bothering you? Is it because you're feeling emotions?" she asked, tipping her head to the side. Lizardfrost insisted on working hard but she had time for a few questions.

plum December 3rd, 2021 01:28 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
[ @Shade. ]

"You're bothering me, yeah!" Plumstorm snaps irritably. "I'm feeling emotions! You freakin' weirdo, you always go around looking like you have to make dirt! The hell?! I just thought that since you're such a quiet, nonchalant cat, that I could sit here a while without being bothered!" The silver cat didn't know where it came from, but it came. She stares hotly at Lizardfrost for a solid moment, then turns her cheek with a puff of air.

"Why do you do anything at all if all you're going to do is look so miserable about everything?" she finally asks, though her words came out as a mumbled mess. "I mean, don't you feel satisfaction? You literally just caught this bigass fish and you're not even happy?!"

Shade. December 3rd, 2021 01:45 PM
Re: Cattail Pond
 
@implimm

Lizardfrost's ears flipped backwards. What? This loud noise was unpleasant. Normally, loud noises meant danger. That or her clanmates were being emotional or something. Lizardfrost didn't understand. Her eyebrow lifted. She briefly opened her mouth to say something then shut it again. What was happening? She didn't feel like relieving herself, even if she hadn't been to the dirtplace in a while. And why was Plumstorm feeling emotions. As far as she'd spotted, emotions happened when something significant was going on. The muscular tuxedo tried to focus on the words.
"I'm...sorry? I'm satisfied...I think. I always am when I'm working hard enough. But it's just one fish. I could do better. I have done better. Why are you not satisfied? You're a shield." she said, sitting down. She was confused. And her thoughts didn't make much sense anymore. That's because a tiny snippet of them weren't thoughts. They were feelings.
