Goldberry felt conflicted, knowing it burned to be exiled by the same cat who had allowed him back in after seeing Starclan themselves chase the darkness from him. He couldn't keep thinking about it. Instead, he mewed.
"Well, let's go see if my father's place is still unclaimed. There's no twolegs anywhere near there." He nodded. Grizzley's old dwellings were in the wooded part of twolegplace, hidden and not usually messed with.

Swirlheart nodded her head, "Ok," she whispered flicking her ears letting out a soft sigh.

Goldberry kept close to her, leading the way around the fenceline and through the trees. The old twoleg nest was in sight now, and Goldberry smiled as he scented no loners or rouges. It was untouched, and he hoped his father's items were still there. He looked at Swirlheart softly.

Swirlheart's fur ruffled slightly staring at the old two leg nest. She did not like this at all but it was shealter and a place to stay. She pressed against him for comfort.

"Oh, it's just how it used to look. The feathers are in that corner. And the shiny stones!" Goldberry purred as he moved to look into the abandoned nest, looking fondly at his father's old collections.

Swirlheart looked at him flicking her ears, she didn't like this but she followed him. She looked at the feathers and the coins, "Your father lived here?" she asked him.

"Yup. He traveled alot...but he lived here for moons. He collected anything that caught his eye...oh, Grizzleyheart woulda loved you, you know. He'd be so happy to have you in the family." Goldberry mewed gently to Swirlheart, pressing his nose faintly to one of the incredibly worn out patches of bracken and feathers that were once nests.

Swirlheart looked at him pressing close to him, "Really?" she asked him softly looking around then towards the nest.

"Oh yes. Grizzleyheart never got to tell you all that, but I know he liked you alot. He fell madly in love with a Shadowclan cat, my mother, and I suppose he wanted the same for us." Goldberry purred fondly.

"It's warm in here, the wind doesn't come in as much...I'm glad the other loners haven't claimed this. They respected Grizzleyheart enough to leave it be." Goldberry purred, nuzzling Swirlheart as he moved to pull some nest material in from outside.

Swirlheart moved around finally deciding to look at everything. She still looked worried but she let out a soft breath, "We....we will be safe here right?" she whispered looking at the collections this whole place, it felt so empty. She heard the wind howl outside and her fur ruffled.

"Yes. We should be. I will keep you safe with everything in my being." Goldberry nodded seriously to her.

"I know...I just...I couldn't think of anywhere else I could bring you...I...I lived here for a while...anywhere else is...it isn't home. Isn't somewhere I'd want to bring you..." Goldberry admitted miserably. He closed his eyes.
"I loved Shadowclan with all my heart but there's no place for it anymore."

Swirlheart nuzzled against him, "Wherever you are that is home to me," she spoke licking his cheek trying to comfort him. She pressed her pelt into his.

Goldberry gave a light smile of appreciation. He didn't deserve such a kind she-cat. He looked at her. "You are the kindest...I promise, it's strange at first, but life here is not as different from clan life as it seems."

Swirlheart looked at him, "It still seems so...empty....," she mewed sighing softly shaking her head.

"That's because we haven't gone past the fence. More cats than you can imagine. Alot of them are very friendly." Goldberry assured.

Swirlheart flicked her ears unsure. She was still worried about all of this and not sure about being here. She lashed her tail a bit before looking around. Her life had been thrown basically into madness that she couldn't control. She had no idea where she really was, nor did she trust being so close to twolegs. She didn't trust any cats beyond the fence nor did she want to. In all honesty she was scared....so very scared. She pressed against him trying to hide her face.

Goldberry gazed at her. "Swirlheart, you and I both know we can't go back. It'll be a change...but I need you to trust me. Believe in me now."

Swirlheart looked at him shaking slightly before nodding her head, "I know....," she whispered looking down at her paws," I trust you....its just all of this....its so much and its....its terrifying," she whispered.

"I know...but I don't know what else to do. If I could take you back to Shadowclan I would...but Northstar was clear. I am to never go back." Goldberry flattened his ears in apology.

Swirlheart looked at him, "I refuse to go back without you," she spoke her tone was serious, "I will learn to adjust," she mewed though she tried to not shake as she pressed close. A low breath moved from her, "Shadowclan is no longer our home, no longer our clan, and no longer a part of us," she mewed.

"No...it will always be a part of us. My mother, my brother, my kits...meeting you. It all happened because of Shadowclan. I will always love them, no matter how they feel about me." Goldberry mewed soffly, before leaning into Swirlheart.
"Look at those stars." He gazed out the side window of the nest.

Swirlheart let out a small sigh flicking her ears before looking at the stars. She moved to get a better view.

"Each star is an ancestor. I wonder which ones are out tonight. I hope they will not lose faith in us..." Goldberry moved to Swirlheart's side.

Swirlheart looked at him then back towards the sky flicking her ears she didn't say anything. If Starclan was watching they wouldn't have let Northstar exile Goldberry. She pressed against him letting out a soft breath.

"I would like that," Swirlheart mewed looking at him smiling a bit trying to relax letting out a small purr.
