(You simply must meet Thomas Thomas!")

"Oh I am so sorry!" She mewerd, she wrapped her tail around her paws and looked away from the tom.

And with that thought, the enby moved their tail to rest upon Pine's, not really considering anything but the other cat's comfort.

She thought with a bit of confirmation, a little excited look shining in her optics to be practicing moves, it was one of her favorite things to do really as an apprentice, besides helping the elders with ticks and new moss, or catching prey for the queens, kits, and the elders too. Winterdream was probably one of the only cats to enjoy some of these activities, she enjoyed the elders stories of old, and it was nice to listen to them to. "Lets try it then." The warrior instructed, or rather told Sparrowpaw, tail lashing from behind her as she waited for the apprentice to start. An apprentice, that was another thing she wanted to do hopefully rather soon, or later. Winterdream was a rather ambitious cat, as was her mother, when she was a alive, and thus that trait was passed down to her. Her nicked ear twitched slightly as she thought, a pleasant array of thoughts, well not very pleasant really. She was not very close to her mother as a kit, for her ambition proved her to be rather not so good at caring for her and her two other siblings. But that didn't mean she wasn't a bad mother. No no, Snowdrift was a wonderful, kind, but slightly twisted mother to Winterpaw, and her ambition killed her that day, the day of liberation.
She didn't really care all to much for it, sure she grieved, but since they weren't very close at the time, she was an apprentice then so it didn't matter, she didn't really know her well anyway, so it wasn't that much of a deal for her. That isn't to say she didn't love her, just that she seem that loved by her at times. She didn't really know how to care for them at times which left her with the other queens at times, more often than she and her siblings should of had. But, it wasn't time to dilly dally on the past, she had battle practice to do.

"You're always so kind when I can be a real jerk sometimes." they sighed. They didnt have to see to feel Creekgazes words rack through them, filled with beautiful meaning that Pine appreciated dearly. They noted the placement that was set on their tail, and even if Creek couldnt see it, they smiled. "Youre a good friend, honestly." they had never said anything more truthful in their entire life, "I dont know what id do without you."

@woly


Yellow eyes scanned the clearing, half-closed against the bright sunlight that flooded the area around camp. Badgerbite, who had settled herself just outside the nursery (although the smell of the nursery made her quite sick), slowly extended and retracted her claws into the soft ground as she soaked in the sunlight. Extending her front paws out, the tuxedo cat stretched her muscles, slowly sliding down until her body was fully stretched on the ground directly next to the entrance. She truly had no clue what personal space was, unless it was her own to be honest. The senior warrior was extremely aggressive when her personal space was violated. Lulled by a gentle purr rising in her chest, Badger's eyes slowly drifted shut, her tail whipping back and forth. Nothing was wrong right now with such a perfect moment.

Although, the tuxedo had been quite on edge. She was supposed to meet her friend, Bearsnarl, by the entrance but the senior warrior would be damned if she would go inside such an awful place. Her time in the nursery hadn't been a good, thus Badgerbite avoided queens and kits altogether; however, she couldn't pass up her friend for being a queen. The old cat was sure her kits weren't as important than her, but things change right? Maybe Bearsnarl had fallen in love with her kits and wanted to spend as much time around them as possible? The thought maybe Badgerbite scoff in half-amusement, half-disappointment. Rolling onto her left side, so she was facing the nursery entrance, Badgerbite intently scanned the entryway, giving a huff of annoyance.

SparrowPaw got himself into a corner and waited for Winterdream to lunge for him. As she did, he leapt into the air and landed on her fluffy back, grabbing on with his brown paws. "Now I think you try to throw me off...but if I'm right, you can't..." The brown Tom purred uncertainly.

She frowned slightly "You don't need to know what I was talkitalking about! It is none of your concern" Her hackles bristled slightly. She watched him closely hoping her brother or friend would step in.

Winterdream felt adrenaline kick in her as she lunged, claws sheathed, for if she did unsheathe them, she would hurt him pretty badly, as many did in the Dark Forest, and that forsaken place was far in her past now, and she didn't want to think about it all that much. By training by herself, she also meant training in the Dark Forest, for some moves were learned from their, and not by herself. Yes, she did make some on her own through intelligence, and going off other other moves she had learned from the dark forest, and from her mentor, her beloved mentor. As the tom talked, she didn't give no warning, as she sprung flipping herself over, and if she calculated right, Sparrowpaw would fling off her, not to hard, on the ground. "When in battle, you have no time to talk, unless you want to get way more injured because of not focusing on fighting." Winterdream advised sharply, tail twitching, excitement, but a stern, and slightly amused gaze flashing in her optics.
Training was such a satisfying thing to do, and she knew oh so well how much some apprentices really liked battle training. "But...," She gave a small pause, before continuing, "you are right about that, but it all depends on the grip, if you have good grip, you will be assured that you will stay on, but remember you grip will loosen if you are on their back for too long, or if they try to flip over to get you off, gravity will not be on your side on this, so be prepared to hang on tight." Winterdream spoke, grooming her fur to wait for him to get up. Training with apprentices was always rather fun for the Turkish Van, it really was, and her adrenaline always pumped when that happened, it was fun to show off her moves to, to show that you don't need a mentor to train.

Had she ever experienced such disrespect? Well, no. Of course not. She wasn't used to the disrespect. Most of the cats she talked to--if, any at all, were moderately nice to her. The conversations never lasted long, but it was still a much nicer response than this tom was giving. However, the feline refused to back down from this tom. Despite his extremely large size, and rough demeanor, she couldn't allow herself to show weakness. That was never Chrysanthemumshade. Oh, no. As harsh as it sounds, she would leave that to her sister, Cloverwhisker. Slowly, her guard began to come down, and she put on a calm smile. Behind it, there was no genuine one. "Well, it takes two to have a conversation, buddy." She spat, but tried to keep her tone far from anger. She only just started talking to this cat and he was acting like such a--such a--such a!... What was the right word for it? Chrysanthemumshade couldn't pick a word in particular, but the harshest word there was, and all the synonyms that followed after it.
Initially, she had started the conversation. She literally walked up to him and asked if he were okay. At the time, he responded sensely, but he still held such a stern tone that she didn't know if her company was accepting to him or not. At this point, it most likely wasn't. She was debating if she would leave this tom to do whatever he pleased and seek out her sister--or any other friendly cat, or if she would stay and see if he would lighten up. As she checked him over, looking at him from paws to head, she nodded to herself. He probably would never be nice. She would had giggled, but that would probably set him on fire.
Fire...?
Her thought was cut short as she heard his next words. She realized that she could say the same for him. Even if she didn't know his relations or who he truly was. She only seen him around a couple times, and never bothered to stop and say hello or anything of the sort. She was the type of cat to not acknowledge anyone. And, it wasn't her being mean. No, not at all. Unknown to others, she was quite the small introvert; little words to say, unless she was with well known felines that understood her. An example would be her siblings who she loved to annoy. Chrysanthemumshade delicately sat down, wrapping her tail around her body limply. As her insides felt rigid, she applied herself to be in a calm manner in front of the tom. "Well, if you want my name, perhaps you'll get it by being a lot nicer." She huffed, completely not thinking as to why she blurted that out. What was she doing? Asking for a fight? Asking to be let down again? Judging from the tom's tone from earlier, she would think that he didn't care to get to know her, therefore not caring to know her name. He could just turn away whenever he wanted when he became tired of her. Chrysanthemumshade dubbed him as such a cat. She, herself would never back down from another for some odd reason. She was a competitive one at practically anything.
Chrysanthemumshade jumped up, her tail lashing. It was one thing to be disrespectful towards her, but it was another to say anything about her siblings. The she cat held in a growl, and even if the tom appeared much larger than herself, she allowed herself to step up, fueled on the anger that was pulsating through her when it came to her family. "Just so you know, my sister would make a great deputy! A leader of she were given a chance!" Her eyes half-lids, "What are you physic now? Can you see into the future that my sister would had made a weak leader? Sometimes even the deemed weak leaders could be some of the strongest." She rolled her eyes. She had a right to be angry. He had outright insulted her sister. Did he expect her not to be defensive about it? Then, she huffed, and she stared at him, a smirk on her maw. "Do you suppose that you would had been a great leader?" She could laugh. It was such a laughable thought that she thought of him as such. Truthfully, he would probably be more feared because of his size, but other than that? She didn't expect much more.

(SO SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT!!)

Wolfglare huffed once more. Why would he be nice just to know her name? In his opinion, he was being nice. Well, not nice, but honest and trying to make the best of this situation. Yes, that was it. Wolfglare could always figure out her name from any other cat in the clan. Not that he wanted to that is, he was just assuring himself that that was a possibility, and he didn't have to rely on her. Wolfglare couldn't believe that she actually thought her little "threat" would work on him. Didn't she know him? Oh that's right, she didn't. Most cats didn't, and that's why Wolfglare had stopped expecting things out of others. They would never fit his expectstions. Every cat was too different. And Wolf accepted that.
Her sudden outburst startle Wolfglare a little bit. She had suddenly just become super defensive. That was a sign of an unstable cat. Wolfglare didn't like unstable cats, there was no way to fully understand them. He got to his paws to walk out of the den without a word, his icy hues holding an emotion of calm. "You can tell a lot about who a cats going to be by what they act like right now. Its just logic." Wolfglare turned to leave, but her next question stopped him. Would I make a good leader? Wolfglare turned, staring the she-cat down. "Oh no, I know I would be a horrible leader. I can't lead a clan." This was one of those times where You could actually tell that Wolfglare was always telling the truth and being honest. "I just know that there are other cats who would make an excellent deputy."
