Amberbright
|96 Moons|
Amberbright continued sharing tongues as she listened to Lilacbreeze attempt to cheer her up by being overtly flippant about her aches and pains. She halted her licks and gave an amused purr and responded with a teasing tone
"Well when you get as old as I am I'm going to check in on you from StarClan. If you're complaining as much as I do now, then I'll make sure you never sleep again without hearing from me." Her face filled with a sly grin as she gave her a light shove with her stiff and graying paw. Her inquisitive new friend then shot her a question that made her feel a little sad..
Wow she really is out of the loop, she really doesn't know? Her amber eyes dropped to look at the surface of the rock they were sitting on. Its color reminded her of the missing Smallmouse, the only other elder in the clan that had recently occupied the den with her. Amberbright turned her head towards the entrance of the camp, hoping against hope that at any moment Smallmouse might suddenly limp through the heather. Logically she new better, but emotionally it was hard seeing the den become so empty again. Slowly but surely the persistent paranoid thought that she had caused Smallmouses disappearance reared it ugly head.
Her voice was far off as she responded to Lilacbreeze, the guilt weighing her down.
Smallmouse...we hasn't been seen around camp lately, so I'm the only one now. Unless Smallmouse returns, that is."[/
"Oh, well than let's move up to a new topic than." She realized how out of touch she is, she felt sad.... But as soon as the let's move on part was said she was trying to think of what to talk about... "What would you like to talk about?" She asked trying to move on from the sadder question.
