"It's just been a mess due to the huge battle it would have been better if it never happened so then things could get back in line"Spottedflight mewed. "Anyways wanna take a walk as we talk? I can't sit for a long time it gets on my nerves"

Blazingstar listened with a smile. The same smile he wore everywhere, whenever he could. However, his smile faltered at her words about the war. There was nothing to change that and clearly this warrior didn't support his decision, so he looked away quickly, his gaze settling on the dying grass around them. However, an offer of a walk brought Blazingstar back in. "Yes, of course," he spoke, getting to his paws, ready to set off. He'd allow her to lead.

Fawn found herself dancing in and out of consciousness in a new area. It smelled rich of herbs, but also hinted at sickness. It was bittersweet, she couldn't quite remember what they called this area of the camp. This was like the vet office, but nicer, quieter. Her blue hues blinked weakly around, her head unmoving and her body rather numb. "Wh-" she managed to roll her head in the direction of whoever was around. "Where am I?" she spoke, hardly more than a whisper.

asoon as sunsong had heard of fawns arrival she was the first to bolt out of her den. she hadnt seen her daughter in so long. how long had it been? how many nights had she gone longing for her kits, wondering where she had gone. none of her first litter had made it, either dying off or going missing. fawn was the only cat from her first litter that had survived, to her knowledge. pushing past the barrier, eyes wide and her frame shaking. there was nothing that would amount to a mothers love for her kits, and sunsong was no different when it came to each one of her children, adopted or not, she loved everyone the same. "fawn..kit?" she called out frantically, not really taking anyone in the den into consideration with how loud her voice was for a second. but then the scent came to her nose, no matter how different it was compared to when before she had gone missing. she had gone missing so long ago that..she had never received her warrior name, despite being so much older.but there was something that lingered that it was the same, that told her this was fawn. her eyes watered seeing her so.. scrawny and beat up. but to sunsong she would always look beautiful. she padded close to her, setting down and tucking her paws under her frame and gently speaking,"fawn? its your ma, sunsong." she couldnt help but let her voice shake, trying to prevent herself from both making a scene and crying in the middle of the den.

Spottedflight got up and started walking. "So..Is there anything on your mind you wanna get out of your mind at this moment?"She asked knowing that there probably wouldn't be a conversation going on if they were walking around. As Spottedflight walked her fur blew gently in the breeze.

"I'm sorry," He reached over with his tail and toughed it sympathetically on her shoulder before whisking it away. "Are you still allowed to go onto the moor when you get older? I wouldn't mind going with you." His words were honest; he would always try to be of help to her, as he would any of his clanmates.

She paused maybe I would be allowed out of camp, his reasuring lick comforted her some,” Maybe.” She replied Unbeknownst to her she would be come an apprentice and train just like every other apprentice, but she did not believe that yet.

(( blazing kills his son through fluff strangulation ))

Applekit met his gaze, wide unblinking forest green eyes searing into his golden ones. Head cocking back as the large Tom ententered the cramped den, at first only his tail whisking behind him as he acknowledged him. ‘ ‘ right h- here ‘ ‘ he stammered, struggling to pull himself up onto his paws and breath in his scent.He’s actually here, he actually came to see me. Or- us. the small kit let a small smile break out onto his small lips and the excitement showing through on his slightly shaking legs. Just as the large Tom approaches the nest and rounded to settle down he attempted to rear up onto his hindlegs, paws pinwheeling as he reached at the long strands of fur dangling from him, sticking out his tongue and biting down gently on it with the effort. Just as Blazingstar settled down he had wrapped his paws around a strange of his fur and was tha covered by his overwhelming fluffiness as he laid down, ‘ ‘ d- dad! ‘ ‘ he squeaked in distress, paws pinwheeling as he tried to fight his way out from underbreath his locks of fur before tumbling right back into the open and letting out a sneeze. He gave his head a shake and turned to look at him again, the smile once again settled on his maw ‘ ‘ no, I haven’t seen her yet ‘ ‘ he said blatantly pawing at his fathers fur again, distracted completely.

He could either not have the strength and fall off of that cliff, embarrassment and dispair shrouding him. Or, miraculously, she could say something that gave him all the strength he needed to pull himself back onto hard ground, triumphantly.
He watched her blue eyes widen, those gorgeous, beautiful blue eyes that always seemed so expressive and open. But right now, he couldn’t read them. His own eyes we’re wude, but they were fearful, Stagbeam was genuinely scared of emotions, for once in his life.
He watched as tears slowly started to drip down her cheeks, and she move forward to press her nose into his shoulder. Her touch caused his heart to erupt, beating faster than it ever had in his life.

But at her words, he felt as if he just might explode in happiness.
She loved him back.
At that moment, that was all that really mattered to Stagbeam. She loved him, hopefully as much as he loved her. He forgot all about the recent war, the guilt he’d felt driving out Riverclan. The stress he’d been under trying to be a loyal warrior to Windclan, yet still uncertain about his leader’s decisions. The pain on his flank as the wounds he’d received kept getting infected. His weak, ravaged body and mind seemed to e instantly healed by those four little words that came out of Honeystripe’s mouth. He felt as if he could go run across the moor in that moment, and come back to her and still not be breathless.
He lowered his head and pressed his muzzle into Honeystripe’s shoulder, taking in her sweet scent. “My life seemed to be hanging on what answer you would give me. So truly, you saved me.” He admitted, a small, embarrassed note in his voice.
He hadn’t told the golden-furred feline how much he’d been suffering the the past moon, with the war and all. And he didn’t want to tell her. He hadn’t wanted her to worry. That was the last thing he wanted for the golden feline. But he did want her to know that she meant the world to him.

In that moment, nothing mattered except for the two of them. Honeystripe could feel all of her worries vanished in that moment of being pressed up against Stagbeam. He loved her. All of the cats he could have chosen, he had chosen her.
Honeystripe felt blessed, and she was at a lost for words. Truly, she had expected the tom to ever return her feelings. She had been so afraid that she would only be his friend and nothing more. There were the times where her fear had consumed her. She had fallen so hard for the tom that she knew that there was no other cat she could love, but she always believed that he wouldn't love her, which is why she was so scared that she would be lonely her whole life. She would have to watch Stagbeam become mates with some other she-cat and she would watch shyly in the background, regretting everything. But she didn't have to.

Honeystripe didn't move away as she spoke, and stayed quiet as she felt the vibrations of his voice running through his chest area. She was shocked to hear that she could have such an impact on the tom. She had always thought that Stagbeam was invincible, always strong and courageous throughout everything. Not once had she suspected any cat, especially her, to matter so much to the tom. Her mouth fell open and she gaped silently at his response, although her face was buried into his fur so he probably wouldn't see her shock. "I....I didn't know I meant that much to you," she breathed, unsure of what else she could say. She was still too surprised to find anything better to say.

She finally moved away from the tom, although she still sat generally quite close to him as she seated herself down. “You know, I’ve liked you for a while now. But I honestly thought that you liked me as nothing more than a friend,” she admitted, feeling the need to say something deep in response. Now that they had both crossed their biggest barriers and admitted that they liked each other, Honeystripe felt that she may as well share her other thoughts. Her biggest secret was out. There was nothing to lose.

He met her gaze quite happily thinking about the times they had together in the past, being apprentices and now Hazel was a mother.. it was all happening to fast for him, his closest friend has a mate and kits, he had his eye on a Tom but they could get to him later.. “Oh well how have you been?” He then added happily he had been urning to hear her voice the sweet ring that he had always loved so dearly, and missed as well. Cotton was having a good day, his eyes shined as the Tom looked at the molly. They had always cared for each other been so very close and now they could get that back.

"They're doing grand!" She turned her head to gaze back at her nest where the two little balls of fur were situated. "I'd love for you to meet them, but they're asleep right now..." Hazelflower trailed off, focusing once more on Cottonspirit. "I've been just fine, though honestly, my legs are getting stiff from sitting in the nest all the time. They'll be getting to the age where I can get out for a little bit, go hunting or something, but right now I've been staying as close as I can, especially after what happened with their father." And with that, the queen took a polite stretch of her legs, grunting at the stale feeling that radiated throughout her body. With a content sigh, Hazelflower gave Cottonflower a playful shove, "So tell me, what's been going on with you? Any good drama happened to grace your ears?" She teased.

The tom chuckled, of course he had heard drama! "Oh yes but of course!" he said with a smirk, this would all be so fun to explain "So my dear! We have two things! Number one, I have my eye on this one tom, he is quite the beauty!" He piped happily "To scared to talk to him though.." He said a look of dismay crossing his face. The tom then looked back at her watching her stretch, he cocked his head at her "I take it your a it bored in here?" He said clearly going on a tangent but this would be quite the day for him if he got his way with this.

"Yes." She answered quickly, "I can feel the boredom aching in my bones. Can we take a walk? I want to here more about this tom!" Excitement pulsed through her paws at the thought of getting out of the nursery. "The kits will be ok, as long as I'm not gone for too long." With a swish of her tail, the snowshoe extended her claws into the soft turf of the nursery. It had been far too long since the two had hung out... "Maybe I can give you some advice ? I'd never imagined you to be too shy to talk to a tom." She cooed playfully, amusement quite evident on her face.

He blushed, he could feel his face growing red under is white fur. He nodded, of course the two could take a walk. "Well, his name is Asterbounce…" He said blushing even harder as the thought of the tom raced into his mind, he took a small step forward feeling happy and embarrassed about this he was glad that his best friends wanted to hear about the tom, but he also got quite nervous in his presence. He looked back meeting her gaze and flicked his tail at the entrance "Shall we?" He added playfully.
