Sootstripe fixed his eyes on a rock across the small clearing in an attempt to mask the shadow that flickered in his gaze as he nodded. “Sometimes, I still can’t believe that it really happened—or that we won,” he admitted haltingly. “Some days, I forget that the rogues ever came—just for a few minutes.” Like when I’m with you. “It’s nice.”

Mistyfur leaned up against Sootstripe. "It is nice to forget that sort of thing. But at the same time it's better not to forget." She took a deep breath and closed her eyes, feeling nothing except for Sootstripe's warmth. "Still, it's a lot easier to forget when I'm with you. I guess I'm just so happy that it's hard to focus on negative things."

Sootstripe couldn’t help but feel a smile creep across his muzzle despite the somber tone as he gazed affectionately at Mistyfur. “Me, too. Remembering—and forgetting. For me, you make it easier to handle it all. Starclan, I should have told you how I felt moons ago;we could have spent all of this time together!“ he laughed, shaking his head. “But I guess we’ve still got plenty.”

Mistyfur nodded silently, and leaned her head over onto Sootstripe's shoulder. She paused for a while to let his warmth sink in, before replying. "True. Of course I could say the same thing about myself. Still, I don't plan on dying anytime soon, so we have a lot of time left."

“Good,” Sootstripe laughed, shaking his head before he let his eyes fall half-closed, content. “Good. And given the amount of skirmishes we’ve made it through at the borders, I’m starting to think we both might be invincible,” he teased. “Not that is ever complain about having a superpower.” He straightened up and puffed his chest with mock-pride. “But I’ll be glad to have someone to share it with.”

Mistyfur purred at Sootstripe's words. "Yeah. If I did have a power like that, I would glad to share it with you." She quietly responded, entwining her tail with his. She shook herself and forced herself away from that topic, instead asking "So, have you come up with any ideas for improvements for the cave yet?"

At Mistyfur's question, Sootstripe raised his muzzle haughtily and eyed the cave in his best impression of a qualified critic. "Well, for starters, I think you need a second pile of moss," he huffed, his eyes gleaming. "Every good den has a space for guests. But as far as decoration..." He paused and shook his head. "Rock—there's just rock! We need something else. A floor of fallen leaves, some moss or vines and flowers on the walls...something cheerful," he decided, his words mellowing out as images of a beautiful space to share momentarily engulfed his thoughts.

Mistyfur stayed silent for a moment. Then she closed her eyes and started speaking. "Well, I agree with you for most of it. A floor of leaves would look nice in most places afterall. And something for the walls..." She paused again to press into Sootstripe a little more. "However, I do have one objection. If this is our place to escape from camp life for a while, why would we bring a guest?" She said.

Sootstripe nodded thoughtfully. "You're right," he replied, feeling a purr rumble in his throat as Mistyfur pressed closer. "One nest it is. I've never had a secret hide-out before," he added after a moment, his tone only half-playful, and offered a sidelong grin. "I think I'm going to like it."

Mistyfur smiled, letting out a small, quiet purr. "I think I'll like it to." She mumbled, almost so quiet she couldn't hear herself say it. Then she said, just a little louder this time, "I'm not sure that it qualifies as a 'secret hideout' but whatever you say."

“Yeah, yeah—you and your technicalities,” Sootstripe purred, his eyes sparkling with affectionate teasing as he nestled closer to Mistyfur. He let out a contented sigh that soon transformed into a yawn despite his best efforts to muffle it. “I—I think t might be a good idea for me to try your nest for you,” he chuckled. “You know, to make sure it’s soft enough for the greatest she-cat in the world.”

Mistyfur purred again, slowly standing up and flicking Sootstripe with her tail. "I think that I've tested it enough, but if you insist, be my guest." She murmered to him. She slowly started to move over to the nest, trying to keep a pace that Sootstripe could easily keep up with so that she didn't have to leave his warmth behind her. As she approached the nest, she tapped his nose with her tail. "All yours." She meowed.

“Such a gracious host,” Sootstripe teased sleepily as he stepped forward, paced once around the nest, and settled down. He flicked his tail and shifted to make room for Mistyfur to curl up beside him. “”Hmm...the nest’s not bad for something sitting on a bunch of rocks,” he remarked, eyes glittering, and let himself nestle further into the exceedingly comfortable patch of moss. “You win this one.”

Mistyfur moved to join Sootstripe, and slowly curled up so that her head was right next to his. "Do I now?" She asked, closing her eyes and gently touching her head to his. "I daresay you're the winner for being able to rest in the nest that's not bad for something sitting on rocks." She teased him quietly.

“Hey, I’m never one to turn down a free victory,” Sootstripe chuckled, his voice growing soft as he set his head down, gazing at Mistyfur through eyes that were already growing fuzzy.”We can start decorating tomorrow,” he murmured with a slight smile. “As a reward to both of us. Congratulations,” he purred.

"Neither am I." Mistyfur purred. "A reward you say? Well, I'll be sure to look foward to it." Mistyfur sat for a while, listening to Sootstripe's breathing. Slowly she started to fall asleep, happier than she had been in a very long time.

(Aww, what a pair of cuties x3)
Sootstripe did his best to keep his eyes open, fighting sleep in exchange for a few moments more of watching the beautiful she-cat beside him. Still, as calm swept over him, so, too, did sleep. Before he knew it, he had faded into pleasant dreams.
((Lol there’s no one else here, so I guess we could skip forward or rp other characters? Not totally sure where everyone went x3)

(Haha true. Hmm...do we have any other characters that would make for an interesting conversation? I have Jadepaw if you’d rather do something with Bumblepaw. She’d be really good at teasing him about Cloudpaw x3 Or I’m happy to just keep going with Soot and Misty ^-^)

(Either way sounds good to me. Maybe we should leave Soot and Misty to their sleep for now though)

(Good plan x3 Oh, I forgot, I also have Fawnpaw! Do you want to do some sibling stuff with her and Bumble?)
Fawnpaw stretches her jaws wide in a yawn as she slipped out of the apprentices’ den. All around her, the camp felt frozen—all but deserted in the heavy darkness. She blinked to clear the fuzziness from her gaze and pushed down the squirm of nervousness in her stomach. With her denmates snoring, she wasn’t bound to get much sleep, anyway. Might as well explore.
(Feel free to switch in anyone else for Fawnpaw if youd rather rp another pair; just wanted to get a starter out before I get clobbered by school again >.<)

(Nah, it's good. And I completely understand that. -_-) Bumblepaw padded out of the dirtplace tunnel, glancing around camp to see if there was anything to do. He spotted his sister exiting the den and padded over to her, calling out a greeting.

Fawnpaw blinked as a voice broke through the haze of darkness. "Uh—wha-?" She squeaked, fear flashing through her in the moment before she registered the source of the words. "Oh, hey, Bumblepaw!" She purred, trotting the last few steps to meet him and doing her best to convince her fur to lie flat again. "You're awake, too!"

Bumblepaw chuckled as he saw his sister's frightened look. "I knew that I was scary, but I didn't think that I was that scary." He meowed teasingly, flicking his tail in Fawnpaw's direction. "And yes, I am in fact awake." He purred.

Fawnpaw wrinkled her nose at Bumblepaw’s comments. “Scared?” She declared. Never! I was just preparing to protect the clan. It’s not my fault you make as much noise as a badger!” She teased, swiping him back. “How do you expect to catch any prey on paws like those?”

( jpanda29 Sounds good.) Bumblepaw laughed, unable to deny his sister's comment. "Well if I'm as loud as a badger, then you're as squeaky as a mouse." He teased, continuing the jokes. "Not to mention that you jumped two tail lengths off the ground." He purred, not worried about exaggerating when it came to his sister.

( jpanda29 Go for it!) Fawnpaw rolled her eyes, lifting her chin regally. "Yeah, right. We both know who the best warrior in this family is. Just this morning, I was out hunting with my mentor, and I could barely carry all of the prey we bought back!" The brag certainly wasn't saying much considering the young she-cat's less-than-towering stature, but her eyes glittered with good-natured pride all the same.

Flicking his sister with his tail, Bumblepaw laughed. "Are you sure about that? If you are, why don't we go out hunting to test that theory?" He asked, always up for a challenge.

Fawnpaw narrowed her sparkling eyes in her best attempt at a tough expression. “Sure!” She purred. “I always have time to leave my brother in the dust.” Though a glance at the looming darkness still sent a prickle of nerves through her, she was never one to reject an outright competition. Projecting confidence into her voice, she declared, “Let’s go!”
