Maybe when he expressed the pain he carried on his own, at first she was glad he told her and trusted her. Unfortunately he didn't think it was a good idea and it just made it even more awkward between them. Maybe then if she told him a secret of her own. No. She was an open book. No burdens to carry no secrets to hide away. Just a simple life she had. Then again there were some other things she could tell him, not that he was Vaugly interested in gossip of other cats or the latest news on the new leader. No he wouldn't really want to know.

What would or could she say to draw him back to trusting her? Or at least speaking with her again. She missed him more then she would admit. He was like her main source of friendship considering she didn't spend her time with anyone else. Plus she found it cute when he stumbled over his own words. Just talking to her was an effort and he tried so hard it made her heart explode each time. She allowed another deep sigh to rake through her body, drawing in a breath of cold air following. As painful as it was it felt good just to feel the cold air circulate her body and wake her up just a bit more.

She then raised her head to a comfortable level and looked at the nursery just
left to her. It looked barren, twigs and moss. It wasn't even woven correctly. Not to her standards at least. Perhaps she would fetch moss for the nests maybe help queens to get her mind off of tumblestep and what he was doing. Focus on things that needed her attention. Sitting up she curled her tail over her paws and started to make a small list of to-do's for today.

Take some apprentices out maybe? I mean if their mentors too busy. Help out with the nests get the moss before the frost settles and kills off the good kind. she thought. Those were small things. wasnt there something big to be doing around here? Was there a patrol going out anytime soon? Just as she began to slowly drift from reality and get lost in her own little world. Just about to forget all about tumblestep.. Her eyes caught movement and her body seemed to cease up. She drew a blank. Turing her pupils and focusing directly on the figure. Dark furred, green eyes, slender and lean. She bit her tongue and tried to ignore the worst possible scenario. She wanted to find him and how she wanted to make everything right again, then again she wasn't so sure.

The figure got up. She wasn't too sure she could holdout much longer. She had to clarify who this was. She needed to know before she broke down mentally. So secretly she shuffled a little to the side. Then a little more. Then just a tad.. Tumblestep! She thought with suprise. She almost called out his name. She stopped herself. He was coming straight for her. She wasn't ready, he didn't even seem ready. Her tail quivered and her paws shuffled uncomfortably. She felt the roles switch, no they became equal. For the first time in a while she was afraid. Afraid to face him. More afraid then she was facing foxtail. Who ripped out her throat.

Now she lowered herself down again trying to act as normal as possible. Though she seemed still and calm on the outside. A slight quiver of the tail gave her away. Is that really him? Is that really him, walking right over to me? I didn't think this would happen so quickly. I'm not ready.. I'm not ready!! she exclaimed mentally. Then she took a quick fleeting second of a lok before shying away from his gaze. Strangely enough. He wasn't even looking at her. Was that intentional?

Daisyshade struggled to not get up and run away. A raspy breath escaped her lips followed by a small cloud of mist. Okay, he is coming. Just act like you did the first day. You don't now his deepest pain, you don't like him, you don't know anything more then his name. she repeated over and over in her mind trying to banish the negative thoughts that stormed on inside. Now he stood just a tail length away. Her whiskers twicthed, she felt his shadow fall over her bringing a cooling sensation over her skin. Now she had to look. He was practically standing in front of her and she was staring down at her paws. Okay, three, two, two, two, ONE!! daisy shade lifted her pale green gaze off her paws and focused them on tumblestep. He wasn't even looking at her. She swallowed a lump in her throat.

"I'm Gingerfur." Then, she realized the cat probably knew her name. She awaited the response.

Lilyshade's blue eyes landed on the small dappled she-cat in front of her. "Hello!" She said cheerfully. "I'm Lilyshade." Lilyshade knew this she-cat, she had watched her warrior ceremony proudly. She didn't know why. Maybe it was because she looked like her lost kit, Fawnkit. Lilyshade shook her head violently and plastered a smile on her face.

Long fur blowing in the cold breeze, Rainpaw glanced around the Riverclan clearing, looking for something, anything to do. He was quite bored, wanting someone to play with, or train with... Something is better than nothing, right? He padded up to the fresh-kill pile, wondering if he should try to go out alone again and hunt. He got in trouble last time, but he was just so bored...

Toothless padded out of the nursery, his black pelt shone once he stepped into the sun, the snow crunching beneath his paws as he walked a few mouse lengths in front of the opening to the nursery before turning and looking at his daughter, a big smile plastered on his face "Runningkit, come on, it's not that's cold...if you're really that cold I'll let you cuddle up next to me, my furs thicker than yours." he purred, his green hues shone with love and amusement as he looked at his daughter, he sat himself down with a grunt and neatly wrapped his tail around his paws, letting his mind drift elsewhere for a few seconds, memories of him and Minnowstream running along the river, memories of the kits being born, memories of his kits growing up. Longing and pride washed over the ebony tom, he turned his watery green hues back down to his daughter and smiled sweetly "Look at you, growing up, becoming a big, strong, warrior." he purred, licking the top of the kits head, nothing but love evident on the toms features, words, and actions as he spoke to his daughter.

She won't ever see anything or anyone but that just makes her believe that all those things she'll never see are just more beautiful, especially colors. Others have tried to explain colors to her and she believes the concept is silly but would love to see them someday, even though it won't happen.

(oh goodness, I'm so sorry kitten!)

"I guess they are. Most cats are fine enough to look at. And, well, I'm just lucky I can see them," she mewed in response, tail twitching slightly as she dusted some of the snow off of her paws. Looking down towards the deputy, she tilted her head slightly. Was Blackgaze pretty? She had never really given much thought to it, but thought-provoking, either way. She looked at the molly next to her, glad the feline couldn't see as she scrutinized her. The planes of her face, the arch of her nose, the tilt of her forehead. All in all, she was a pretty cat. Beautiful, even. And Cloversplash normally didn't think highly of physical features; she preferred personality. But every once in a while, someone would catch her eye, as this she-cat. "Well, I know I'm not that pleasing. Trust me, you're better off without." And though she said this with a light air, it held some truth. She had never thought particularly highly of her appearance, and didn't mind sharing that.

Runningkit poked her head out curiously, with a mild precaution, out of the nursery. Her mother had told her about the snow before she even came outside, and reassured her that it was fine, and wouldn't harm her. With confidence on her side, she stepped into the snow, squeaking with excitement, and most of all, surprise. So cold.. "No way! I'm a warrior, I can handle this white powdery stuff!" The black she kit squeaked at her father, Toothless, while poking at the snow experimentally, fur fluffing up in anger from her fathers comment, but then curiosity struck her about the snow. "Mama said it was called snaow.." Runningkit mewed, tail quivering with excitement as she raised her head to look at Toothless, her blueish green eyes beaming. She started to run around, energy coursing through her, dashing and leaping around the clearing, but not making a big ruckus, she didn't want to get scolded by her mother, or another warrior. The black she kit stopped by her father, beaming with pride at her fathers comment. "Yeah! I'm going to be the best warrior ever! Just you wait, I'll be hunting, and fighting some pesky intruders, and kick their butts!" Runningkit squeaked jumping around determinedly, thinking about the day she would become a warrior. Yea..I'll be so scary, Shadowclan will be running off with their tail's behind their legs! I'll be the best, maybe the leader! The kit thought with a small giggle, slumping down next to Toothless with a tired, small sigh, but not for long. "That was so fun!" She exclaimed with a squeak, eyes shining with a spark, a shining spark, as she sprang back up, jumping on each front and back paws.

(It's completely fine!)

"I'm sure you're one of the most beautiful cats in RiverClan, Cloversplash." Blackgaze said softly but seriously, her small cat-like smile getting larger at this. She was doing that thing where she was borderline flirting with someone, finding it a bit hilarious to slightly lead cats on. Though, she never took it to a serious, heartbreaking, level. That would just be rude and unprofessional. Though, Blackgaze had found it easier to make friends once you threw some flirtatious-but-not-really kind of remark at them. It seemed to warm those cats up to the thick-pawed, blind, warrior. The pitch black deputy seemed to find other's not taking kindly to her appearance. Her large, thick, body and her completely green and blind eyes don't give off the most welcoming appearance. Though, Blackgaze has made the best of what she was born with and decided to make sure she wasn't mean, rude, or evil and make sure she gave off a kind and calm aura that other's could easily walk up to and not be smacked across the clearing.

Curiosity flickered through the she-cat's eyes; what was the molly up to? She could hear the flirtatious, warm edge behind her voice, and saw the slight smirk pulled across her lips. And so Cloversplash decided to play along, and offer a few remarks of her own, hoping it'd be fun to lead on the deputy. "Well, you're the most beautiful in all the clans," she replied, her voice equally gentle and serious, but with a hint of fun, as she wanted it to be playful and a bit prodding. "And your eyes are quite lovely, too," she mewed, this time quieter. She really did mean it; the deep leafy eyes of Blackgaze were gorgeous, with lighter flecks of color that danced in the light with bits of silver swimming through them. The sincerity was evident in her voice, and she smiled slightly, audits rotating a few degrees towards the stocky feline. Even if she meant it a bit playfully, it was so real, so genuine. Blackgaze was gorgeous, and a bit of a mystery, the blind deputy who was kind and relaxed, yet still reserved and mysterious. Cloversplash shook out her fur for a moment, a bit of snow puffing off and billowing onto Blackgaze's fur. The white melted quietly from the warmth of her body, but for the moments it stayed, it looked like sparkling stars on a black clear night, not a cloud of dust of dirt marring the molly's inky fur.

Toothless laughed, amusement gleamed in his green hues as he watched the kit run around. He sneezed when a snowflake landed on his nkse, tickling the small pink bump. Once Runningkit got up again he jumped up and crouched, his tail lashing back and fourth behind him "I'm a big nasty Shadowclan Warrior, and I am here to take over Riverclan, what are you going to do Runningstar?" he said in a low, gravely voice, trying his hardest to mimic a Shadowclan warrior. He flicked they kits ear with the tip of his paw and jumped back, but not too far back, he didn't want to bump into the Apprentices den, and he didn't really plan on being scolded Infront of his daughter. He missed days like these, where he could do nothing but play, relax, have fun, be free, but he knew better, he was a warrior now and he hadn't a family to take care of, a family he cared deeply for, his heart would be torn to shreds if he let anything bad happen to them. He narrowed his eyes as his kit approached him, ready to fall onto his back in the freezing cold just to make sure she has fun, just to make sure she's happy, to make sure she has the best kithoot he can give her.
