RiverClan Clearing

Hollowkit stared at confusion at the former warrior. Thinking Riverclan was supposed to only be strong was mouse-brained? How could he think that?!? Riverclan WAS strong, they didn't seem to be having any problems right now. She had heard the queens talking, she knew what was going on with the Clans. Windclan was weak, Thunderclan was just messed up and confused apparently, and Shadowclan was just evil. But Riverclan? Riverclan was perfect. She huffed, looking from him in an attempt to look like she thought he was ignorant. Whatever his crime was, it probably had to do with how traitorous he was sounding.

Hollowkit lifted her head high as she spoke. "No one told me. It was just obvious. You were doing apprentice duties, which a warrior doesn't do. You were looking really pitiful and sorry for yourself, which a warrior rarely does unless something terrible happened. And I haven't heard of any deaths recently. And when I stated your name, you basically confirmed I was right." She gave him the empty look again, and had rarely blinked or taken a breath during the whole time she spoke. She didn't have a prideful look on her face, she rarely had any look on her face, but her tail was twitching. She was a bit proud of herself for figuring it out so quickly.

Though it wasn't like he was trying to hide the fact he was miserable. And he barely had tried to correct her when she said Horsepaw. "But I want to know. What did you do to get demoted? I'm betting you did something awful, though you don't strike me as an evil cat. Guess I could be wrong though." She examined her paws as she spoke, acting bored with him. Then she looked back up at him with her emotionless green-blue eyes staring wide.

Without moving his gaze from the sky up above, he nodded slightly. Rainkit seemed rather uncertain when answering, and it made Icekit wonder if the subject maybe was a little too... maybe not complicated, but tricky to talk about like this. It was something only he seemed to consider, mostly since he didn't feel like being a kit for double the time he had already endured. For a moment his gaze shifted towards the Streamstone, the place where Kestrelstar stood every meeting, calling out new apprentices, warriors, elders, deputies, or newborns, and the news of course. It was a part of the warrior code that kits couldn't become apprentices before they were half a year old, but if he ever became Icestar, maybe he could create a new rank, like Kestrelstar with the shields, kits who were still kits, bit could be trained in small things before being let outside after the real ceremony.

He didn't tell Rainkit about the thought, not wanting to repeat any discomfort Rainkit might have experienced from his first little speech. Rainkit didn't answer the question "Anything specific you wanted to do or discuss?", so Icekit took it that the other kit didn't have anything in mind. All up to him then. "How old are you?" Was the first thing he asked, a simple question that wouldn't be hard to answer, and one that he could use as a jumping-off-point for the next conversation subject.

The tom knew that Riverclan was the strongest of the clans, and of course he wanted to keep it that way. But hearing a kit call him a weak link made him...well it was a touchy subject. He decided it was best not say anything else, the kit had obviously made up their minds and he wasn't going to change that. He guessed he should give the kit the benefit of the doubt, but since she'd never been through anything like he had she wouldn't understand.



"Oh, well I'm sorry it's so obvious and I'm sorry your so nosy, little one," the tom meowed, he wasn't usually so rude, but he was agitated. The question made him cringe, why did that kit think it was okay to ask him why he was demoted. But maybe if he told her she'd leave him alone.


He looked at Hollowkit, furrowing him brow, thinking of what would happen if he told her. He dug his claws into the dirt, scraping the dirt, gritting the teeth.

Rainkit looks at him and smiles slightly. "I'm two moons old!" she squeaked. She knew it wasn't very old, but she could care less. It was the first time anyone's ever asked her anything about herself—even if the cat didn't truly care. She decided it would only make sense to ask the same thing back to the tom-kit. "How old are you?" She gazed at him with curious amber eyes as she asked. He didn't seem very young but judging by the fact he was still a kit, he had to be young too. Unless if she was wrong which could definitely be the case.

Pebblepaw stood up, looking around for her friend Frostpaw. The little heat was appreciated and with her thick fur she felt barely cool. She sniffed the air and was disappointed by the smell of nothing but fish, moss and river water. The wind blew and from behind she heard something. Frostpaw.

Frostpaw appeared behind Pebblepaw, waiting for her to turn around. She had seen her friend as she had left her den, and was mildly pleased to see her. Frostpaw didn’t have many friends, and Pebblepaw was more of an accomplice then a friend. But is was nice, she supposed, to have a cat to go to and hang out with once and a while. Just to have some company.

When Pebblepaw did look over her shoulder, Frostpaw went and sat down. “Hey,” She meowed. “What are doing out here?” That’s how conversations usually started, right? Frostpaw wasn’t particularly skilled in this area.

"Chilling. Do you want to go swimming? I know it's cold," Pebblepaw mewed. She had friends but Frostpaw was probably one of her quieter ones. Nevertheless, she was really fun to hang out with.

Frostpaw gave a wry smile. “Pebblepaw, it’s never to cold for me to go swimming.” She got up, taking charge. “We’re going, then? I mean you suggested it so I assume you want to.” Why else would Pebblepaw say so?

[corgigirl]

"Definitely!" Pebblepaw said, smiling. "Race ya!" She blast off bounding over snow piles trying to be the first one to the Cattail pond.

❄ Snowleap (he/them) ❄

➢ With the pheasant slung comfortably over his back and the starling swinging in his jaws, the long-furred tomcat headed back into Riverclan’s bustling clearing without hesitation. He glanced back for a short second to see if Lambdream was close behind before stepping over to the freshkill pile. Once there, Snowleap dropped the small starling on top of the pile. It wasn’t much, sure, but it would feed a lone apprentice or two kittens at most and that was better than it going to waste. The Riverclan tomcat tugged the pheasant off of him, settling the large catch down next to the other, smaller catches. Despite his body feeling a little sore after today’s hunt, he was happy with how things turned out. Turning his icy-blue gaze to the white-furred tomcat, he gave him a warm smile.

“Thanks for accompanying me out there today,” Snowleap said, genuine appreciation in his words, “ I’m sure it was probably a bit boring and not exactly what you were expecting, but I had fun spending time with you.” The dark tomcat’s muzzle felt warm for a moment, feeling a little flustered and awkward when he thought about what started this whole outing. The Riverclan warrior moved closer to the other warrior before touching his nose to Lambdream’s shoulder gently, being a casual gesture of respect and thanks. “If you ever need a hunting partner or simply a buddy to talk to, feel free to seek me out, okay?” Snowleap could tell that this clanmate wasn’t too much of a serious cat, but the least he could do was attempt to become friends with them. It was what the tall tom always did when he met other cats in Riverclan, regardless of how they were towards him. Lynxfall was really the only reason that Snowleap acted so... platonic around Lambdream.
