Everything here...it was different, yet the same. Some times, clan feuds confused her. All four clans, they were so alike, right down to what was in their camps. It was all just a different layout and different in the environment they chose to live in. The biggest differences always being cultural.

But the bones stayed the same.

The calico's expression of contentment wasn't focused on one sole thing as she sat herself down where they were.

"It's happening..." she murmured, only loud enough for Breezefeather to really hear. "I'm here, I'm changing everything I've known and how I've lived for as long as I can remember. I'm both terrified, and ecstatic. I want to cry, because I'll only ever see my sister at the gatherings, but happy because...because I want to try really, really hard and make a life for myself here."

I want to be there for you too. Is what she didn't say, too embarrassed and too scared it may be too much, too soon. She caught the disbelieving look in Breezefeather's green eyes and didn't want to overwhelm him anymore than she perhaps already has.

Breezefeather let out a soft sigh as he settled himself on the ground too. He needed the security of the ground to take in her words and to process them correctly. Because these were complex thoughts that needed addressing and he assumed that was why she was voicing it to him. "Changing... it's hard. It's not something that happens as you flick a switch, its gradual. Some days you may feel like nothing's changed, the next it might overwhelm you by the fact that you've gotten used to the moors, to the open skies without even realising it." He hadn't until now that she was back, realised the very same impact that Daisy-Lily- had had on him during the short time they'd spent talking about their issues... But it was an impact that had indeed left its effect on him. "Changing how you live your life... It will be hard. But you can do it. If any cat would be capable of changing their entire life upside down... its you." And that was the truth. He'd seen the strength in the calico molly throughout the time she'd spent in Windclan. But they were not here to be all sappy for however much he wanted them to be. It was not... time for it. "Your sister. You'll have to tell her you've got a new name at the gathering now wont you?" he let out a soft laugh at that. He could totally imagine the other sister being extremely confused at this change and even a little mad. She as a fiery one, or so it had seemed from his one encounter with her during the latest gathering. "Being happy is worth the pain of leaving... Because you're not sacrificing yourself for something others would wish for you. You're doing what will help you, and sometimes. Sometimes its alright to be selfish especially in these situations."

"Sunpaw!" Breezefeather called out and hopefully the former Thunderclan warrior had heard him. He disliked the humiliation many of the other warriors treated the newcomers with, because despite everything they'd still earned their warrior rank in their own clan, just not in Windclan. When the apprentice did show up he gestured with his head towards the exit of the camp. It was slightly unnerving to be smaller than said apprentice despite, in theory, being taller. But then again Breezefeather never really cared much for being physically strong, and he knew if it should come to a strength conflict between him and Sunpaw, that he would most likely loose. It was reasonable enough. But that was not why they were here, and he started explaining the actual purpose for calling on the apprentice. "We're going out hunting. Not the typical hunting, I'll be doing what Gentlemoo should've done with you. Shown you the reasons and explained why we work as we do. There is more to do with it than there is rabbits on the moor and thats why we hunt rabbits. The cultural part of the clan is just as vital to learn as its techniques and battle training."

Mountainmist sighed. She wasn't exactly a fan of being put on a patrol but she would do it nonetheless.. This one to the Thunderclan border too... That would prove quite interesting. Walking up close to where Brindlejaw as standing she waved her tail as a flag, so that she hoped she would at least be noticed by her clanmates. "Creekpaw! { @Wings } Come on! Another border patrol calls you!" She liked the apprentice, and this was supposedly his last session before becoming a warrior so might as well make it interesting. "Shockpaw
{ @Rainquail } and Flashclaw { @Pluto } get your asses over here or we're leaving with out you."
