“Alright,” Moonshadow said, her voice still cold, but sweeter. She was trying to be a good model for Hazelpaw. “Well, uh,” Moonshadow started. She wanted social, without attacking. “What have you been up to? I mean, other than hunting.”

Heatherstorm » Now that Moonshadow also seemed ready to put that little squabble behind them, Heatherstorm was able to fully relax. Or, well, she could relax as much as she could what with the ever pressing worry about everything going on. She managed a civil stance and tone if anything. "Well, I was on one of the morning patrols today, but you know that already," she stated. So far her day had been rather routine save for what had just happened. Getting into arguments like that wasn't uncommon for the tabby, but she didn't make it a daily habit. "There wasn't any prey to be found, and everything just keeps getting drier..." That much was already known, too. Every cat in the Clan could see that things were only getting worse, but that was the exact topic that had started their earlier spat. Perhaps it was best to avoid that conversation altogether.
Instead, Heatherstorm jumped to another topic. It wasn't exactly thrilling by any mean of the word, but it was something to keep a conversation going if Moonshadow wanted to socialize. "I might take Flurrypaw out for training after sunhigh, not that she needs much more training. She'll be a warrior before long." A swell of pride made its way inside the tabby's chest. Flurrypaw was her first apprentice, and hopefully not her last. She had been beyond excited when Applestar had named her as the young molly's mentor. It had meant a lot to know that the leader trusted Heatherstorm of all cats to train and guide Applestar's young sister, and Flurrypaw was making out to be a fine cat. She was more than proud of how the apprentice was shaping up to be, and Heatherstorm knew for a fact that she would be a warrior the Clan would be beyond proud of.
Knowing that Moonshadow was also a mentor, Heatherstorm found it in her to ask, "How's Hazelpaw's training going?" She was sure the other young molly was shaping up to be a fine warrior as well. Along with Antpaw, the Clan was soon to have three new additions to the warriors' den.

“Good,” Moonshadow said. She was sad to think soon Hazelpaw would go her own way and leave Moonshadow. “Soon going to be a warrior,” Moonshadow said, proudly and sad.

Heatherstorm » It was relieving to hear that Hazelpaw's training was going well. Having strong, capable warriors was important, especially in a time like this. "I bet she's excited," Heatherstorm mewed, finally relaxed enough by now to even give a small purr. "I remember how excited I was when I was told I'd be a warrior soon." It felt like it had only been yesterday when that had happened, but it had been some seasons ago. Even still, she vividly remembered the pride and excitement that had blossomed within her the day she was told she'd be made a warrior. Everything she had worked so hard for had finally paid off, and now she was beyond proud to be sharing what she had learned as a 'paw to her very own apprentice.

Moonshadow nodded. “Yeah, she’ll be a warrior soon,” she said. Her voice was sad and proud. She knew she should be proud of her apprentice, but it was hard to let go of Hazelpaw.

Heatherstorm » Heatherstorm was excited for the apprentices herself. It had been some time since a warrior had been made, and potentially getting three at the same time would really boost the Clan's morale. There was only one downside to the trio getting their warrior names, and the thought did sadden Heatherstorm somewhat.
She remained silent for a good while, thinking the problem through before she shook her head and let out a sigh. "Only thing, though, is that we don't have any kits. Once these three are warriors we won't have any apprentices." Heatherstorm understood why cats didn't want to start a family now, raising kits in these conditions would be completely harebrained, but it was disheartening to see the Clan without any little kits running around, demanding to play games or chatting on excitedly about being made apprentices and guessing who their mentors would be.

Moonshadow immediately saddened about this. She had always wanted to have kits with a male; start of family, watch her kits grow, see them maybe fall in love... It was her dream! It was all she had wanted since she was a kit. But she had never found someone who loved her and she loved them back. She had gone through fazes of crushes, but none she wanted to live with. The only cat Moonshadow would have kits was Cricketchirp... She didn’t ever think he cared for her, did he? “What do you think Cricketchirp thinks of me?” She blurted out to Heatherstorm. Her apprentice was already long gone, hanging out with her friends.

Heatherstorm » Romance had never really been something that stuck in Heatherstorm's mind for long. Maybe one day she wouldn't mind having a mate and a litter of kits or two, but she was just as happy to stay single than she would be with a mate. If that's what StarClan had in store for her, then so be it, she would take it in strides, but she wouldn't be the type to go looking for romance. She wasn't a dreamer like that. She just took what came her way, and whatever happened happened.
She was pulled out of these thoughts when she heard Moonshadow throw a question her way.
Heatherstorm tipped her head to the side. "Cricketchirp?" She asked with a flick of her tail. "I wouldn't quite know. I mean, if anything a cat would be blind to not think you're a good warrior." Now as far as anything romantic went, well, Heatherstorm wasn't exactly the cat to ask. She didn't exactly keep up with that sort of thing. She liked the idea of there being a new litter of kits at some point when things got better, but she wasn't sticking her nose into anything that might be budding between Cricketchirp and Moonshadow. And even them, if there was something there, they wouldn't be able to have kits with one another. Not only were calico tomcats extremely rare, but whatever made them calico also made them unable to produce their own biological kits.

“Okay,” Moonshadow meowed. She was happy from the compliment Heatherstorm had given her, but it wasn’t really the answer she was looking for. She knew calico toms couldn’t have kits, but she did know they could fall in love. “Well, how have you been with, well, love?” Moonshadow asked. She was more of a big-hearted warrior; she found it fun to spot out the relationships in WhisperClan. Good and bad.

Heatherstorm »Heatherstorm couldn't help but snort in amusement at the question. It wasn't something she thought about a lot. It would be nice to have a mate one day, tom or molly, but she had never been the type to sit around and fantasize about that happening. She had other things to focus on, like her warrior duties and being the best mentor to Flurrypaw she could be. Romance didn't quite fit into all of that, but if it ever happened Heatherstorm would be sure to make it fit into her schedule.
She shrugged her shoulders in a response. "It's not something I've really put much thought into," she admitted, copper eyes glancing over at Moonshadow. "As far as I know there's not a cat interested in me, which is fine, and I wouldn't say I'm particularly interested in any other cat either." Sure, she had experienced a crush or two here and there, especially when she had been a young apprentice, but those had all faded by this point. She was older now and had more important things on her mind. If romance came her way then she'd take it, but for now she saw no reason to stress over something that wasn't exactly necessary.

“Really?!” Moonshadow asked, stunned. She thought ALL cats wanted romance. Didn’t this cat have at least one crush? “So, you aren’t interested in any of the toms here?” Moonshadow asked, still stunned.

Heatherstorm »The gray tabby snorted, clearly amused at how her fellow warrior reacted to her answer. "Not really," she replied with another shrug of her slender shoulders. "Maybe I had a few crushes as an apprentice, but beyond that I haven't really thought of any cat in a way that was more than just a regular Clanmate." Maybe Heatherstorm was the odd one out here, or maybe she wasn't, but that still didn't change the fact that she wasn't quite padding after a particular tom or molly in the current moment.

Moonshadow’s jaw dropped. Here she was, having a crush on almost all the toms, and then Heatherstorm didn’t have a crush on any! “Wow!” Moonshadow said. She wondered how miserable it would be to not have any toms to flirt with.

Heatherstorm »"It's really not that big of a deal," Heatherstorm pointed out, looking at Moonshadow once again. A part of her felt like she needed to defend herself, to show that she wasn't the odd one out when it came to things like romance and taking a mate. It seemed as if her admissions to Moonshadow were really surprising the other molly, and that made Heatherstorm feel a little...a little bit like she was being judged. Or maybe that was a bit of a strong word to use. Judge didn't seem right. "I mean, I'd rather worry about my warrior duties than worry about if anybody in the Clan likes me. I'm not against romance or anything like that, I just..." She trailed off, not sure exactly what to say from there. Maybe she didn't need to defend herself, but all the same romance had just never been a big part of her life.

Heatherstorm »Heatherstorm let out a low sigh, not exactly sure if that was the case or not. She didn't mind the idea of getting "caught up" in love, but a part of her did want to put warrior duties above everything else. She knew that if romance ever arose for her then she'd take it in strides, but it just...it wasn't something she put a lot of thought into. Until now, she supposed. Moonshadow was causing her to think about something she had never really put much thought into.
She shook her head. Now wasn't the time to get all wrapped up in romance and mates and kits and the like. Right now the Clan needed warriors that were giving their all to the Clan, and mooning after some other warrior wasn't going to get her anywhere. "I guess I just don't see the point in getting a mate, at least not right now. Maybe it's just not for me, but..." She cracked a faint smile toward Moonshadow, showing that the anger from earlier had faded completely. "If it works for you, then I'd say go for it. I'm sure any tom would be lucky to have you."

Moonshadow nodded. She wasn’t sure about what Heatherstorm had said, but it was sweet... “Well, what do you think about Hareleap?” Moonshadow asked. She knew the other molly wasn’t too interested in the conversation, but Moonshadow liked talking about the Clan, hotties, pretties, normals...

Heatherstorm »She knew Moonshadow was asking about Hareleap in a more romantic sense, but the gray tabby couldn't think of the tom as anything more than a fine warrior and an excellent deputy. He had been a warrior for longer than her and she looked up to the sleek furred tom just as much as any cat would. He was skilled in what he did and helped run the Clan smoothly alongside Applestar. He was the perfect fit for a deputy as far as Heatherstorm was concerned, but anything beyond that wasn't something Heatherstorm thought of when it came to Hareleap.
"He's a fine warrior," she replied smoothly. "And an even better deputy." There was a part of Heatherstorm that thought it would be nice to one day become deputy, but that meant either Applestar or Hareleap would have stepped down or something worse, something that Heatherstorm didn't want to think about, especially not in these conditions. Anything could happen, and no cat was safe. She shook her head. Now wasn't the time for such thoughts. Luckily, something else came to mind and her whiskers twitched as she shot Moonshadow an amused glance. "Besides, have you ever seen Hareleap moon after a molly before? Other toms, though..." She trailed her words off, amused to see if Moonshadow would pick up what Heatherstorm was putting down.

“No, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t,” Moonshadow pointed out. She may like most of the toms in WhisperClan, and wouldn’t give up hope on any of them!

Heatherstorm »Moonshadow's stubbornness was admirable, but Heatherstorm did hope that the other molly didn't get her hopes up too high when it came to a tomcat like Hareleap. "I guess you have a point, but I highly doubt he's into mollies at all." Of course, it wasn't her place to say who or what another cat liked. That was something for them to bring up in their own time if they ever even wanted to. "I'd chase after a more...realistic goal," she mewed, hoping that wouldn't be taken offensively or anything of the sorts. "Maybe a cat like Chickenflight. I'm not sure if he's ever been interested in another cat, but who knows. Or try your luck with Hareleap, that's up to you and what you feel is best." There was no way Heatherstorm was a romantic expert, so her advice was mostly just her own opinions and not anything to really take to heart, but if Moonshadow was so focused on romance then Heatherstorm was willing to try and help her out if possible. It was better than sitting around and bickering about the weather at least.

Moonshadow nodded, thinking of the warrior, Chickenflight. “He’s sweet... I guess...” Moonshadow trailed off. “Batwhisker, Crowhop, Rippletide...” Moonshadow named off a few of the Clan toms.

Heatherstorm »Either Moonshadow had a big heart or she was desperate for a mate, that's all Heatherstorm could think of when the other female started naming off most, if not all, the toms who resided in the warriors' den. She shook her head. "I'm sure one will work out. You've named every tom there is, surely they all can't fail." In the long run it was no business of Heatherstorm's on if Moonshadow got a mate or not. If it happened, then it happened. She'd be proud for her fellow warrior and whatever tom fell for her, but beyond that she couldn't exactly say or do much that would help Moonshadow out in her romantic crusade.

Moonshadow nodded. “Well, I’m tired,” she said. She had just recently taken out Hazelpaw to train and that had exhausted her. Her apprentice had much more energy than her, and it was exhausting to train her.

Heatherstorm »"Aren't we all?" Heatherstorm asked with a sigh escaping through her nose. She shook her head and glanced around camp. A few other cats were milling around, but save for them the camp was rather empty. Hareleap must have sent out another hunting patrol in hopes of finding something out there. He could have sent out a border patrol as well, but in times like these hunting was a lot more important than checking their borders on a daily basis, and it was only yesterday that Heatherstorm herself had been on a border patrol.
"Maybe go rest up," she suggested with a flick of her tail. "Hareleap seems to have sent out another patrol, but it's only sunhigh. We could still be needed for something else later, so it's best not to be tired."
