"Hi, I'm Petuniaflame."

Petunia - A flower-one so bright and beautiful but the Flame - Scorching and wild. So which was the young warrior? Shaking her head as if she could shake out the thoughts Shimmeringpool nodded, "Y-Yeah that's me." She gave the molly an awkward smile, one meant to be a mask. "S-Sure." Wow today was surely full of surprises, first someone spoke with her now they wanna share prey!

The smile stayed on her muzzle as Shimmeringpool looked up at her. Her eyes lighting up as she confirmed that she was, in fact, named Shimmeringpool. Petuniaflame gratefully took a spot next to the other young warrior and sat a fish down for them to share. Getting to know her Clanmates was one thing she really wanted to work on, so this was a wonderful chance for her.
"I know we don't really know each other, but I'd like to change that." Petuniaflame started offering a smile. "I'd like to see if we can be friends. If you want of course! Can't force a cat to like or talk to you." She added, letting out a slight chuckle. She hadn't talked with a shier cat in a while, and honestly she felt she was being a bit to over baring for her. Yet, the creamy white and ginger patched warrior didn't know what else to do. So, she just took a bite of the fish and offered the fish for Shimmeringpool to take a bite as well.

I found her half dead in our territory and took care of her, I named her Spicekit. That’s also why you haven’t seen me in the warrior’s den, I’ve been sleeping in the nursery. I didn’t become a full queen, because I wanted to help out on patrols and stuff too, and well no one really wanted me to have this child and kept telling me to give her away to one of the queens because I’m not responsible enough for a kit...and I guess they were right. Because a few days ago, I came back from hunting...and she was gone. I searched all of camp, and the territory, I even followed the river to the seastones. and I can’t find her, or even a scent of her. It’s all my fault, if I had been responsible and let one of the actual queens raise her, she’d still be safe in the nursery...and I probably am going to get in trouble soon, because I destroyed a whole in the nursery wall because I was concerned she was stuck in the den wall....but I did patch it up at least.. ” he meowed, expecting her to agree with him, that it was his selfishness of wanting to raise her that got her lost or possibly killed.

Of course, the only thing he really did wrong in raising her, was that he left her alone in the nursery all day while he went on patrols or flirted with Heronflight, expecting her to sleep until he came back, and well letting her stand in the middle of the fight, while the queens took down a coyote that entered the nursery, and the whole calling himself daddy Blizzardsky thing. Yeah, he wasn’t the best parent out there, but he did what he thought was best at all times, and he dearly loved and cared for her. He was terrible at everything,” I’m just not meant to be in charge of anyone am I? I’ve had three apprentices, all of them have gone missing. Maybe Riverclan would be safer without me...” he sadly meowed. If he had been better with Goslingpaw, and instead of letting her explore her curiousity in blood and instead scolded that behavior, she might be alive. He was starting to feel like a danger to his clan and nothing more.

She knew he wasn't fine. Petuniaflame's gaze kept its soft, somewhat concerned, look. That was until he started talking about hiding things from her and not telling her something before because he thought she would disappear. Her face went from puzzled to shocked. He had a kit!? She was an aunt and didn't even know it!? Her mouth gaped open, as if to speak or gasp, yet she made no sound. It would be rude to cut him off when he was talking.
Her expression stayed the same through out his long explanation. He had a kit, Spicekit, hide that from her, now she was gone. Blizzardsky had lost his daughter, one he didn't know she had. He even destroyed a hole in the nursery. How had she missed all of this? She must have been so wrapped up in training that she never noticed everything he was going through.
"Whoa..." She breathed trying to take in all this new information. So much had been thrown at her that Petuniaflame wasn't even sure what to say. "First off, don't keep things like that from me. I want to be apart of your life Blizzy, your my brother, I can't do that if you hide everything from me. You've gotta trust me with stuff. Secondly..." She paused, taking a breath. "You had a daughter and didn't tell me until now? I've been an aunt for a few moons and didn't even know it! That is a lot to take in, but also really exciting." Petuniaflame admitted laughing slightly. Spirits was this different than she expected. But she needed to be serious now, her brother had lost his daughter and was grieving over it. Goodness that meant her niece was missing!
Giving him a more sympathetic look, tail resting on his shoulder, she went on to the more serious stuff. "I am sorry she is gone, I am sure Spicekit just went out to explore. I've gone missing more than once, and come back every time. Its not your fault, I promise." She assured him, making sure her amber eyes met his blue ones. "While destroying a hole in the nursery was not the best idea, its good you repaired it, that could have been dangerous." Petuniaflame pointed out, sighing slightly. He was going through so much and hadn't tried to reach out to her once. Part of that was her own fault, she had been out of his life more than once and wasn't good at reaching out to him as much as she should have been. She needed to do better.
With his last line Petuniaflame just pulled the larger warrior into a hug. Tightly holding unto him, her face nuzzled into his fluffy white fur. "No. Shhh... that's not true..." She cooed. "RiverClan would not be better off without you, I wouldn't either. Things like this happen, cats come and go from our lives, some temporally some permanently. We have to accept that. Its how life works. But, that doesn't mean you need to leave Blizzardsky. I love you, I'm safer with you here, I know you look after me. So, no, RiverClan wouldn't be better off without you. You help make it what it is. RiverClan wouldn't be the same without my fluff ball of a little brother." Petuniapaw explained, refusing to let him out of her hug. He was going to hear and understand what she was saying. She knew he needed this, and it had been far to long sense she hugged him.
