RiverClan Clearing

[Rizo]

Moonfrost watched as the newly exiled tom left the camp, and turn to look at Whitepaw.
Oh she's angry.
She stifled a laugh, playing it off as getting a bit of fur stuck on her tongue. This was worth getting up for, watching an apprentice lose her mind over an insult from a harebrained idiot.
I love this clan.

Birdpaw watched as Kestrelstar threatened the big cat, but the big cat didn't listen. He was yelling about his mom, but the blood in her face prevented the ragdoll from feeling bad. She was upset about her mom but she didn't try to kill anyone, so he shouldn't be like this. And Creamfrost was trying to make her keep fighting?! She shook her head vigorously at the tomcat, and left it at that.

Then, the mean cat got away from Kestrelstar, and jumped at her again. She shrank away from his claws, but then he seemed to lose interest in her and instead went after a kit. Birdpaw was relieved but also wished she had taken those claws instead of the kit. But then Kestrelstar grabbed the mean cat, and Birdpaw screwed her eyes shut, not knowing what was going to happen but certainly not wanting to watch.

When she looked back up, the mean cat was being carried away by Wormbite, and Kestrelstar was now looking at her. He looked worried. Wiping the blood out of her eyes, the shallow wounds on her forehead weren't her concern. The sticky red stuff pooling out of the clawmarks on her chest were more of her concern, dripping like a terrifying rain. Feeling slightly bewildered- this had all happened so fast- Birdpaw looked around, panic filling her expression as the pain finally blanketed the adrenaline.

''It hurts, though.'' She breathed as her buddy assured her that it was going to be fine. ''It hurts. I've never hurt like this before.'' The blood was coming so fast and her eyes pooled with tears. Okay, Plummy. She knew her. She knew Plummy from that meeting with Bearspot. Quickly finding the silver tabby, Birdpaw, desperate for comfort, shot forward, wrapping her arms around Plummy and probably staining the warrior's fur with blood (oopsies) She buried her face into the Shield's fur and tried to hide from the dead body, the yelling cats and her own wounds.

Okay, okay. It wasn't the time to feel like flirting, no- Though Kestrelstar had caught her eye and seemed to become flustered at the brief and silent stare between them. Her attention swims to Birdpaw, who had been the victim of that deranged creature who'd come in with bloodlust. She catches the little she-cat easily, pressing her paws down into the sandy ground a little harder to support Birdpaw's added weight. "Mm," she hums softly. Dipping her head, for a heartbeat the shield presses their foreheads together in an attempt to comfort her. And then she gets moving, gently coercing the little cat away towards Snakeheart's den without glancing back at Kestrelstar, the dead rogue, or the fool who had just been exiled and was on his way out.

As Creamfrost left, Kestrelstar let his glare linger briefly before allowing it to drop. He briefly registered Whitepaw and her screams, allowing his whiskers to twitch in amusement. But Birdpaw's words caught his attention and he turned, sorrow replacing the anger that had once been there. He hadn't been able to protect her, and something about that... with her being so young... it twisted his heart in ways he hadn't thought possible. Memories flashed suddenly of another young she-cat whom he hadn't seen in some time, who he must've hurt as well.

Everything melted away though at the sight he was met with. Birdpaw, rushing forward and burying her head against Plumstorm. Yellow eyes watched as she bent her head to Birdpaw's, and something sends his hear a-flutter. Gravity didn't seem to hold him anymore as his head swam with an unexpected warmth. Blinking a few times he watched as they walked away, the day's light catching both their pelts and making the silver she-cat almost sparkle in the clearing.

At that moment, something changed within him. It was soft, subtle. Kestrelstar found himself in a certain realization, and all at once everything clicked into place.

...Huh.

Riding on this new wave of this vaguely familiar yet very welcome realization, Kestrelstar turned slowly to assess the scene. Whitepaw was here. Creamfrost was gone. Moonfrost was here. He cleared his throat - "Alright, nothing to see here, go back to your duties," - and used one of his paws to cover the spot where the rogue had started to bleed out with dirt. Once satisfied, he gave a flick of his tail before padding towards the medicine den to follow Plumstorm and Birdpaw.

* He'd pad into the clearing after his little nap. He'd stretch. *
" Man it feels good to be out. "
* He'd pad over to where he normally sat and sat down washing himself before he went hunting *
"Hm I wonder what Stemlily is up to. "

~Frozen’Paw~
Frozen’paw padded into the clearing with a stretch and a yawn, he’d been by the stream catching fish all day with his brothers and was ready for some rest in camp, he wouldn’t go to his den quite yet.

* He'd notice an apprentice known as Frozenpaw. He'd call out *
" HEY Frozenpaw want to go hunting "
* He'd really wanted to go hunting but something told him that Frozenpaw was tired *
" Nevermind go get some rest. "
* He'd stand padding to the camp entrance *
