Fern gave a happy smile, feeling somewhat accomplished with the
small reward of getting Switchfire to possibly agree to do
something with her. Though she thought them friends, they hardly
did anything together, besides the occassional patrol together. She
wasn't sure why, but it might've been because Fern was always off
with Kauri or Whitestar or Firelight or some other cat she'd be
pestering. She thought for a moment, trying to figure out how to
rearrange her mental schedual so she'd have more room for
Switchfire.
Switchfire sniffed the air. "It smells lie were close to hailclan
territory, and the scent borders are a bit weak. I'm not surprised,
their cats cross over often to check on us." She purred softly. "I
guess while one of us branches off to hunt, I'll go reinforce the
border to make sure no strays cross over." she meowed, bounding off
into the direction of the other clan.
Thunderflight adjusted her self in her nest. Sighing thinking about
the possibilities of kits and Marble's return. She cared for Marble
a lot and would adore the idea of being mates with him, but what if
he never really felt the same?
Marble heads out of the den to grab a mouse. He brought it back to
thunderflight and dropped it at her paws. "I thought you might be
hungry." He smiled, giving her an affectionate nuzzle
She lifted her head up and looked at the mouse. "Oh thank you, that
was very sweet of you.." she purred and licked the bridge of his
nose. "Care to stay?" she asked.
Marble nodded and settled down next to her. "I think whitestar may
have gone out on patrol with my sister and fernwing. He'll probably
have the ceremony when he returns. Y'know my naming ceremony, and
wolfpaw's as well?"
//Glotide, Toothie, and Unenu's cats have been inactive for over a
week and have been set to 'hiatus' until they either respond or the
30-day inactivity limit has been reached
(ok this is literally getting like nowhere so heres a thing to move
along, its a few days later i guess?)
Whitestar hopped up onto the hightree branch. You've put this
off long enough. Time to finally do these ceremonies he
thought, looking over the camp before calling to his clanmates.
once they gathered, he began his speaking. "As you know, marble has
returned to us, and he will be joining us permanently." he paused,
looking over the orange cat. "From this day on, he will be known as
Orangeheart, as he was once known as orangekit, and he had the
heart of a true warrior to return to his birth clan." he dipped his
head towards the cat and turned to gaze upon wolfpaw. "I'm sorry,
but I've also been postponing another important event. Wolfpaw has
proven to be a great addition to the clan, and it's about time
we've recognized her as a true member. She has earned the warrior
name of Wolfclaw." he smiled, purring softly as he felt he had done
something good by finally recognizing the young cat as a member of
the clan rather than a bother.
Foxstep sat in a tree, watching the ceremony. She smiled. Well
looks like things turned out well... But... she shook her head
and crouched down to continue watching.
WolfClaw puffed her chest out, trying to hold back a purr of flee.
She was finally a warrior, she was used to a lot of apprentice
duty's, she was happy they were off her back.
Whitestar laughed at wolfclaw's pride and he smiled again. "Keep in
mind that you still have duties, being a warrior doesn't make life
easier!" he purred, looking up at the sky. I hope I did good
Foxstep.. he thought. I'm so unsure...I don't have Flintstar
to guide me anymore
Orangeheart laughs and playfully pushes thunderflight away.
Whitestar nodded. "Yes, you two both must sit a silent vigil by the
camp entrance. A warrior must watch and prove they can protect the
camp when needed." he nodded, flicking his tail towards the camp
entrance. "It's about sundown now, you may begin when the moon is
in the sky."
Thunderflight lets out a small chuckle and her eyes dart to
Whitestar and WolfClaw. She turned her head back towards
OrangeHeart.
"Well you have a vigil you have to abide by," she stepped forward
pressing her head against OrangeHeart's.
She then muttered something very low only for OrangeHeart to hear,
"I'm expecting kits." she whispered before stepping away.
Orangeheart rolled his eyes. "Go get some rest, the big strong --
extremely soft and puffy kitty cat will protect you" he laughed,
nosing her before rushing over to the camp entrance to get a head
start on his vigil.
Thunderflight shook her head and rolled her eyes in a playful
manner. She muttered to herself, "He probably doesn't even know how
to properly hunt." She silently laughed to herself before heading
into the Warrior's Den.
WolfClaw let out a puff. "I'm Elegant, thank you for noticing." She
trotted over to the entrance of the camp and cleaned the dirt from
sticks, making sure her vigil is comfortable.
(Should something happen during the vigil for plot?)
