Badgernight nodded. “It’s almost weird not being involved in all the excitement. “ he spoke. “But we’ve earned our rest.”
“Good.” Mistlight looked at her brother as he sat next to her. “They’re getting so big, soon they’ll be apprentices.” She sighed softly.

Seafoam settled into their refreshed nest, laying her head in her paws. "We have, we've fought in many battles, dealt with a fire, raised 6 kits. I think that's enough excitement for one lifetime. Plus, we can always help out even as elders if the clan really needs us to."
Blizzardstorm nodded, eyes tracking the kits as they play, "They are getting big, I hope Lightningstar picks good mentors for them." He turned to glance into the nursery, wondering if Squirreltail was in there resting. "I can't wait for our kits to come. It's a shame that yours might be apprenticed before our kits are ready to play. It would be nice for our kits to play together."

Vixenrose stretched her legs, glancing around camp as she looked for sight of Scarletpaw, Tigerpaw and Dawnpaw. Once she was assured they were all doing their duties, she looked around for Applefur, wanting to spend time with her daughter.
Featherfoot finished grooming Flurrykit’s fur, before he purred a good-bye to his son and turned to look for Tigerpaw.
Yarrowcloud snored in the elder’s den, ear twitching as he dreamed of chasing a squirrel, as young and fresh as when he first earned his name.

Darktail sat at the edge of camp, his tail swishing back and forth impatiently as he looked for something to occupy him.

Darktail sat at the edge of camp, his tail swishing back and forth impatiently as he looked for something to occupy him. Midnightstream stumbled past Darktail, seemingly in a hurry. The young Warrior exclaimed. “Ooh! Sorry! I completely overslept! Oh, Ghostscreech will surely have my hide! I bet he wanted me on a patrol, and I-...oh...” She sighed her grief, before she looked quickly at Darktail. “Darktail, you’re just the cat I need! You perfect tom you, are you busy right now?” |

Darktail jumped as Midnightstream approached him in a flurry, staring at the she-cat with wide eyes he slowly shook his head "N-no I'm not busy right now. What do you need Midnightstream?" He asked, getting to his paws quickly.

He asked, getting to his paws quickly. “Good! Because we’re going hunting, and that way it will balance out my oversleeping, and I’ll be less likely to be scolded!” Midnightstream called, already scrambling towards the camp entrance. “We have to catch as much as we can, got it? Come now, are your paws made of stone?” She ushered, her voice alight with determined energy. |

Darktail nodded still dazed by the she-cat tornado that had just uprooted him. "Got it. I've been wanting to do something all day anyway." he replied as he tried to keep up with her quick steps. "I'm sure Ghostscreech won't mind as long as we provide some prey for the clan."

"I'm sure Ghostscreech won't mind as long as we provide some prey for the clan." “Surely not! Nobody can argue when we’ve got prey to offer, yes?” Midnightstream grinned, feeling more hopeful as she finally slowed down a bit to scent the air. “You must think I’m quite ditzy, hm? I swear, I am far more punctual than this usually.” She mewed with a soft sheepishness. |

Darktail let out a slightly nervous laugh as he trotted after her. "You're right, when we've gone on patrols in the past you've never been late. You must have been very tired to sleep in that much." he asked, his voice betraying a hint of concern. "Are you feeling alright?"

"Me?" Midnightstream inquired, her eyes flickering with surprise at Darktail's question. "Oh, ah...yes, I'm alright. I'm just a little tired, I suppose. The fire...sometimes I dream about it. About..." Midnightstream trailed off, her heart aching as she admitted. "I miss our clanmates. So many were my friends...I guess I shouldn't be too down. It's nothing as to what you lost." She looked at him, knowing that both of his sisters were gone. One dead, and one who fled. She blinked slowly, before apologizing. "I'm sorry. I did not mean to bring the mood down."

Darktail's eyes flickered as his memory flashed back to dragging Petalsky's body through the blaze, he flinched as the scar from his burn ached. "The fire took many of our clan. We all lost something." He spoke, his voice soft. Shaking his head he brought himself out of the nightmare, "Where are we going to hunt?"

Midnightstream watched him for a moment, her eyes wide with sympathy, before she shook the memories from her head and tried to focus back on their hunt again. "Right! Right...where we're going...uh...Oh!" She perked up, eyes bright. "Let's go to Tallpines! Maybe we can try and see if the squirrels are running about today!" She offered, beginning to break into a run again. |

Darktail broke into a run beside her, letting out a pleased purr as the cool new-leaf air rustled through his pelt. "I'm hoping the trees and the undergrowth with start sprouting again soon. The forest looks so dull and dead. Once it's green again, or at least greener, I think the clan's mood will pick up again." he said, voice hopeful for their clan.

"I want to see the flowers bloom again!" Midnightstream called out to him, a glint of light in her eyes as she gave a playful giggle. "Sometimes I like to weave them in my pelt so I can smell nice." She admitted, suddenly stopping as she peered around the tall trees. Some were darkened and charred, while others seemed to still be standing. She frowned lightly when she didn't smell anything at first.
"Scent anything?"

Darktail looked at her for a moment, trying to imagine how she would look with flowers in her fur. He flicked his ear, deciding she would look rather pretty like that. He tensed realizing she's probably waiting for him to say something, he quickly raised his head to scent the air. Humming quietly he turned back to her, "Uh, I think I smell a squirrel or two, but they seem rather far away."

"Too far away to chase after them?" Midnightstream teased, a challenge in her eyes as she tried to locate what he was scenting. She blinked as she finally caught the scent, but not before purring. "Wow. You have a marvelous nose. You must be an amazing tracker, I hardly scented it. Come on, we can work together and get at least one, right?" She invited, flicking her tail smoothly as she sauntered through Tallpines.

Darktail stood there for a moment, taking in her compliment before having to sprint after her to keep up. "Oh um Thank you Midnightstream. I'm sure we'll be able to catch at least one squirrel" he stammered, his pelt feeling a bit hot. It wasn't often that he was with other cats his age, especially not beautiful she-cats such as Midnightstream. He frowned as a little voice in his head told him that this was not the first time he felt this way.
(I gotta start incorporating the fact that he's a reincarnation into his character more. )

She blinked, suddenly looking guilty. “Was it the sad stuff I was saying earlier? Oh, I knew I needed to watch my muzzle better. I’m sorry.” She apologized again. Surely he must be upset. She felt bad, vastly preferring when he was happy. He was handsome when he smiled, though she pushed the fuzzy and warm thought away. |

Darktail looked down at his paws in embarrassment, "Sorry, no it wasn't anything you said. My head has just been a bit... busy lately." he replied. "I keep getting this strange feeling and I don't know what it means, but it's very distracting." He looked back up at her, eyes searching hers for a moment. "I've never told anybody about it before. You're the first one," he admitted quietly. "It's been happening since I was a kit though. It's nothing new."

Have you felt sick this entire time? Goodness!...Or, no, it probably wouldn’t be that but.” She trailed off, her fur warming suddenly as she breathed out. “I’m the first cat you’ve told? W...why me?” She shuffled her paws a bit. |

Darktail gave his chest a quick lick, now feeling a bit embarrassed at all the attention she was giving him. "Uh no, not ill. It's just when I do certain things, I feel like I've done them before. Even if I haven't. And um I don't know why I told you. I just thought you'd be the first person not to judge me for it. You seem like the type of cat to believe me."

I mean, of course I believe you. You’ve never lied to me or fibbed to me before. You’re a very serious kind of tom. Hm...” Midnightstream looked thoughtful, touched that he trusted her like that to believe something that had been on his mind. She blinked curiously. “Maybe you’re special! Like how Peachdapple and Aspenfall see visions!” She gasped, suddenly excited. |

Darktail frowned, "I'm not so sure about that. I'm not a medicine cat, why would Starclan send me visions?" he asked with a tilt of his head. He sighed, beginning to walk towards the scent of squirrel again. "We shouldn't linger here too long. It's going to scare off the squirrels."

Flamesky trotted into camp, a scrawny mouse and a sparrow in his jaws. He quickly made his way over to the fresh kill pile to deposit the sparrow before taking the scrawny mouse for himself. Shadowblossom stretched with a yawn as she exited the warrior cat's den. Looking around, she searched for something to do. Brokenwing was sitting outside the warriors den, grooming her fur after a border patrol. Arcticbreeze spotted Shadowblossom push out of the warriors den and bounded over to her, “Hey! You busy?” She mewed. |

Flamesky smiled around the mouse as he noticed Brokenwing. He trotted over to her and settled down beside her, dropping the mouse in between them. "Hi." he purred, "How was border patrol?"
Shadowblossom looked up at Arcticbreeze in surprise, not expecting her young sister to appear so suddenly in front of her. "Oh, no I'm not busy. What do you need?"

He sighed, beginning to walk towards the scent of squirrel again. "We shouldn't linger here too long. It's going to scare off the squirrels." "Well...if you insist...though, I'm just saying, I bet regular old cats have gotten weird dreams and signs before. Maybe you're supposed to be a medicine cat..." Midnightstream didn't know why the thought of that made her grimace, and she shook her head. "Well...maybe not. I can't see you cooped up in the Medicine den." She lifted her nose, deciding to discuss this after their hunt. "I think it's on the ground. I can't hear it in any branches. That'll make it easier for us." |

Brokenwing purred and nuzzled Flamesky as he settled down next to her, “It was good. Nothing out of the ordinary for now. How was your hunt?” She mewed, looking at the scrawny mouse between them.
“I was about to head to Sunningrocks to try and find some prey.” Arcticbreeze mewed, waving her tail, “You want to go with me?”

Darktail snorted, "I don't think I would last a second in the medicine cat den with Peachdapple. She'd talk my ear off." Dropping low to the ground Darktail moved forward swiftly, searching for the squirrel among the burnt underbrush. He flicked his tail, signaling Midnightstream to join him, not spotting the squirrel yet.

Flamesky sighed, "Alright, I caught a nice sparrow actually, but I left that to the others, I'm starving after being out all sunrise. I know it's not much, but do you want to share it with me?" he asked, nudging the mouse towards her.
Shadowblossom gave her paw a quick lick, swiping it over her ear before she nodded. "Sure, I could use the exercise. I'm a little lost without Yarrowcloud to do things with." she admitted.
