ThunderClan Territory

[peponceo]

[ open ]

Robinkit was already far from ThunderClan's camp. She found an oak tree with a branch very close to the ground. She jumped on it, then began climbing until she found another close branch to pounce on. She pounced on it, and repeated the proccess a few times until she found herself on top of a very thick branch that she could sleep on safely. I mean, she wasn't safe, nothing is safe enough for a kit as small as Robinkit, but at least the branch wouldn't break in her sleep. This is good. No one will find me here and i'll have something to brag about with Spikekit! She'll learn to not mess with me!

Emberheart padded through the trees, sniffing the air. The wind carried the scent of grass, wood, and-kit? The she-cat sniffed the air again to find out what kit in particular had gotten out of the nursery. Robinkit? She raced towards the scent, stopping at a tree and looking up to see Robinkit. Robinkit! Get down!

Robinkit almost jumped in shock. She looked down quickly, her eyes wide. Then her expression darkened. "I can't get sleep, can I?" She turned her head to the other side and laid it on her paws. "I can't get a minute of peace in this noisy clan." She frowned.

Do you want me to tell Duskstar? Emberheart threatened the kit. But Duskstar would never lay a claw on a kit Then she thought of Breezekit, and shook her head. Duskstar would do anything to defend her Clan. Do you want me to tell Duskstar? she repeated, her lips drawn back to reveal razor-sharp teeth.

Robinkit let out an exaggerated sigh, then began to clamber down the branches. She was distracted by her worries of Spikekit screaming at her when she gets back to camp, then Robinkit's face screwed in anger. Without noticing where she was going, Robinkit slipped and fell. After meeting the ground,pain shot her. She laid still for a few more heartbeats, then clumsily rose to her paws. She groaned in pain, and refused to meet Emberheart's eyes.

Emberheart flicked Robinkit's face with her tail before leaning over and picking her up by the scruff. Duskstar will hear about this Emberheart muttered.

"I am fine! I can walk!" She squealed desperately. "I don't need to be carried by you!" She started shaking her legs in attempt of making Emberheart put her on the ground, but the legs almost didn't move and she flinched in pain. Her body grew hot and her fur fluffed up in embarrassment.

Stop wriggling, kit! Emberheart snarled through gritted teeth. I can keep Duskstar from making you an apprentice after this expedition!

Robinkit wanted to argue, but this time she remained silent. She took a deep breath and had to accept that she had made a grave mistake. Of course, she wouldn't accept so soon. Robinkit would try to convince herself that what she had done is fine and Emberheart is overreacting.

So leading the way, Ploverspot led them out into the territory ever so slowly. Until he got further help from Lionwhisker he was going to refrain from doing anything all too sudden, and he hoped that this would help him. Life was hard enough without bothering the joints to the point of serious injury. So walking slowly across forest paths that he'd gotten used to he considered Softbriar's question. To any other it would seem like a strange question to be asked among siblings... but they were a special case indeed. "Doing good... Somewhat." There were many things to factor in, such as the raid that had come quite soon after he'd joined and the issues with Myrtlepaw... and of course his own joint issues which was just recently starting to become a true issue for him. "Thunderclan's not much different... Mum told me load about the clan back at gatherings, I knew what to expect. However, what I did not expect was this mess we were walking into," he let out a soft coarse laugh at that. It had truly been a mess. "But age is taking its toll on everyone one of us it seems." Stretching out a front leg a bit further than normal in his next step, the ageing tom pointed his head towards it. "Arthritis has been hitting the joints quite badly lately. Age... and the harsh regime in Shadowclan didn't particularly do me any good either." Yet they hadn't gone out here only to question him and he directed his yellow gaze on Softbriar themselves. "But how are you doing? Deputy? Is it treating you well?"

The speckled cat followed beside Ploverspot, letting him lead the way through the territory and patiently awaiting his answer. They weren’t sure exactly what they’d expected him to say, though they’d hoped he wasn’t having a bad time. Transitioning from ShadowClan to ThunderClan didn’t seem like it’d be too different in Softbriar’s mind, at least the tom hadn’t come from WindClan where he’d be used to open spaces. Both were forest-dwelling clans and they assumed they weren’t the only clan with troubles. “Arthritis, huh? That sounds... tough.” If they were honest they didn’t think often about how age would affect them, arthritis was a rather scary prospect for them to think of. “I was a little shocked at first, mostly by some of the other’s reactions.” There were probably tons of better ways that meeting could have gone but they were glad they were, for the most part, accepted by their clan. There was just too much squabbling in the clan, they had to find some way to fix that soon. “I think it’s made me more popular, I don’t mind the work, I can handle it. I just hope I don’t mess up any time.” They sighed, the warm welcome to the position had left them even more determined to prove themselves but also more fearful of failure.
