Blackfire gave a quick glance to Dreampool, before the complex she-cat flicked her tail calmly and nodded. "Ah, very well. I hope you don't mind our escort. The last thing our clan needs is any...surprises. But we can take you to our leader." She nodded, turning to motion to the patrol to move to escort the outsiders.
Pinefoot looked rather bitter at escorting these outsiders, but he knew better than to test Blackfire's authority. He turned to flank Smoke, looking boldly at the large tom.

Dreampool waited to fall behind the party. The last thing they needed was the overly anxious Dapplewing to leave the rear vulnerable. So the twitchy dappled tom took the side of Rain, who hopefully wouldn't be too much for him to manage.
Featherflight chirped with delight. "Oh, I'm so glad! They're going to love the two of you, so much. And StarClan knows I'll more than appreciate the help raising them." The queen chuckled, whiskers twitched faintly as she spoke.

Smoke eyed the tom walking beside him for a moment and then turned his attention ahead of him where his companion walked between the patrol leader and another cat in her party.
Rain looked to Blackfire, "Sorry to interrupt your hunting patrol. I know its important to you to feed your clanmates right now, leaf-bare is fast approaching." She wanted to be friendly to these cats, keeping conversation would hopefully help her in her endeavors.
--- Wrenlight, turned to Thistletail and tilted her head happily, her eyes pinching shut with a smile. "Hopefully we can be good role models!" she purred, feeling just that way, if they spent a lot of time with Featherflight's kits they would surely look up to the two of them.

(Bettttt. Rain would need to respond, but i got sum cats in camppp)
Emberstorm waited impatiently for his father and the patrol to return, the fiery tom giving a deep sigh. He was interrupted by his sister though, as Owlshadow mewed deeply.
"Stop fretting, brother. Patrols have taken longer before."
Emberstorm rolled his eyes to the deputy. "No patrol our father is on would take so long. We're not the most patient cats."

(Rain did respond, it's your go my dude )
Wildstar padded towards his deputy and her brother. "Emberstorm, is everything alright? You seem... off." He speculated, tilting his tabby head as he approached the duo. His tail swished absentmindedly, spiky fur making it look far thicker than it was, especially with the leader's winter coat growing in.

Blackfire shook her head with strong assurance. "It's alright. We can always send more patrols out. Besides, it's best you both are not out here long."
"Hmph. Speak for yourself." Pinefoot grumbled.
Emberstorm turned his head to look at his cousin, his eyes flashing as he shrugged. "I guess I'm just...antsy, and I don't know why. I...had a weird dream last night too." He admitted.

Dreampool scoffed, rolling her eyes slightly. "Pinefoot, please, we'll make due. Our Clan is far smaller than what it used to be." She pointed out, a foul tone to her words as she padded on.
---
"A dream? Of what?" Wildstar inquired, bright green eyes flashing as he looked from Emberstorm to Owlshadow. It was unlike Emberstorm to be so anxious.

"Incredible observation, Dreampool, I couldn't tell with my own eyes." Pinefoot snapped, an easily aggrivated tom, especially when reminded of the cats he once knew, moons and moons ago.
"A cat. I can tell they're trying to speak to me, call to me...but I can hardly hear their voice. All I can see is a dark pelt. Eyes of fire." Emberstorm explained, looking troubled. "They looked so...desperate, and aggrivated."
Owlshadow glanced curiously at Wildstar.

Dreampool huffed, flicking her fluffy tail. "Don't go getting annoyed with me, now, son of Nightflame. I, too, remember what our Clan once was. It's loss is no reason to torment visitors, no matter how untimely." She half hissed, big glinting eyes narrowed in distaste.
--
"A dark cat with fiery eyes... That's not Blackthistle." Wildstar muttered, brow furrowed as he struggled to think of who the cat might be. "I'll have to ask Wrenlight and Eaglesight - I'm not sure who it is or what it means quite yet." The young ginger tabby sighed, crestfallen. "We'll figure it out." He promised.

"Don't say his name! I haven't been a son of anyone for moons, lest I be one of his." Pinefoot hissed suddenly, a nerve seeming to be pulled as he hissed at the younger she-cat. He only stopped when Blackfire's stern snap silenced him. "Cut it out. Both of you."
Emberstorm nodded quickly, his paws shuffling as he shook his head in frustration. "It's probably just a stupid dream. I have duties to worry about."

Dreampool turned away, tail straight in the air as her back fur fluffed slightly. "Forget not that I am barely younger than you, and that I never knew my mother. Yet bitter I am not. Be glad you were blessed enough to have your own kits, and still be here for them." She meowed flatly, determined to have the last word. While her behaviour was slightly less than appropriate, seeing as they had visitors, Pinefoot's aggressiveness irked her, and she wouldn't tolerate it.
Dapplewing glanced sideways, past Rain, at his bickering Clanmates, and swished his tail with anxiety.
---
"No dream is stupid, unless you're chasing prey and suddenly you become the prey." Wildstar reassured him, his eyes glinting with humor. "But yes, go." A slightly more serious air returned to his stance as he dipped his head, before turning to Owlshadow. "Can we talk?" He asked, whiskers twitching slightly.

"Back off, Dreampool. You're not worth the argument." Pinefoot mewed with deep and dark anger, turning his head away and storming onwards, away from the patrol.
"I said cut it out." Blackfire snapped dangerously to Dreampool. "Especially when bringing up family. Fight like kits if you want, but don't burn your own throat when you spit venom where it hurts...We are all we have left. You and Pinefoot need to understand that." She mewed, a reminder of her position as the head senior warrior.
Owlshadow waited for Emberstorm to scamper away before she looked at Wildstar and nodded. "Of course. What about?"

Out of her respect for Blackfire, Dreampool silenced herself, biting back from a retort like she normally would have prepared. Though annoyed, she maintained her position in the patrol, unwilling to let the new cats think anything lesser of her loyalty and sense of duty.
Dapplewing looked over at Blackfire, golden eyes swirling. "C-can he just leave? Just like that?" He asked, anxiously. His fur prickled with nerves, unable to be soothed.
---
"I think that Emberstorm may be on to something..." Wildstar meowed quietly, beckoning with his tail for her to follow him back to his den. "I've... been having a similar dream." He confessed, once they were away from the bustle of camp.

"He's got a fire in him that requires space to cool down." Blackfire shook her head, her eyes brimming with thought. "Pinefoot is no fool. He knows his way home." She nodded, continuing onwards. "Do not fear for him, Dapplewing. Just be sure not to follow in his outbursts."
Owlshadow gave her leader a surprised look. "You have?...That can't be a simple dream...What cat could possibly be in both your dreams? Fire in their eyes, a dark pelt..." She recited with quiet thought.

"I wasn't scared for him, j-just that he's supposed to stay with us, especially escorting o-others." Dapplewing fretted, trying to calm down despite himself.
-- "No, it must mean something bigger. Have you dreamt of anything like this?" Wildstar questioned, sitting down in the mouth of his den, spiky tail swishing gently against the ground.

"He'll come around. I assume he's just gone ahead." Blackfire assured Dapplewing calmly, knowing the tom was easily nervous. She was more laid back and soothed, her intuition trained. She mewed. "We'll make due either way."
"No, I've not had such dreams." Owlshadow shook her head calmly, her eyes shining with slight dissapointment. Why was her brother seeing this and not her?

Dapplewing nodded, more assured by Blackfire's calming words. The she-cat was their most senior warrior, and a niece of Snowstar. She had the antsy dappled tom's full respect, and it was her demeanor in moments like these that he questioned why it was not she who Hawkstar had chosen to follow in leadership. Not that his own nephew was not doing well, but the young age was startling. Instead of voicing these anxieties, however, he nodded some more. "Yes, I'm s-sure we will." He agreed readily, whiskers twitching.
-- Wildstar shook his head slightly, tail swishing more. "I don't know why you wouldn't have. I'll have to ask Wrenlight if she has, either." He looked up at his cousin, bright green eyes serious. "You will tell me if you do, though?" The ginger tom's words were somewhat of a command, but intended as a reassurance. The idea of the specific dream had the newly made leader on edge.

Blackfire smiled and nodded, her dark and ginger fur swishing as she padded calmly at the head of the patrol. After a while, Pinefoot's form was visible, walking slowly to let them rejoin him. The dark tom was calm once more, not speaking.
Owlshadow dipped her head, her eyes flashing with focus. "Understood. I'll ask around as well, see if anyone can think of the cat described."

Dreampool had shut her maw by this point. She had spoken slightly out of turn, and did not regret it, however she did not want to repeat the pointless bickering they had just endured. And so she walked on, tail raised in the air, grey eyes dark with daring.
Dapplewing trotted along, frowning at the muddy gunk that clung to his long paw fur. He would have to give himself a thorough cleaning once they returned to camp, maybe even see if Mothcloud or Falconsoar would help him.
-- Wildstar nodded, standing up from his sitting position. "Go and ask the elders, first. I'll go find Wrenlight and ask her if she knows of anything like this." He meowed, whiskers twitching slightly as his train of thought plowed along. Featherflight had kitted earlier, so Wrenlight was likely in the nursery with the new mother.

Owlshadow nodded, quickly moving towards the elder's den and poking her head in. She noticed Ivybounce dozing lazily in the corner, but almost smiled when the black and white elder shot her head up, snorting loudly.
"Huh! Wha? Oh. Eaglesight, get up. Your brother's granddaughter's here."

Post by ♥Snowfire♥ on Feb 13, 2018 21:45:37 GMT -5
Eaglesight sleepily blinked his faded golden eyes open, yawning widely, exposing large, yellow canines. "What brings you here, Deputy?" The elder tom questioned sleepily, flicking an off-white ear almost in slow motion as sleep lulled his actions.

"I wanted to ask you two about something. Recently, my brother and your grandson have had dreams. Apparently of a dark furred cat, though it seems the eyes are the most prominent thing. Eyes like...fire. The cat seemed to be trying to call for them. Is there anything that could possibly be?" Owlshadow sat down, tail wrapping neatly around her paws.
|

Post by ♥Snowfire♥ on Feb 13, 2018 21:59:11 GMT -5
Eaglesight's eyes cleared as he heard the description, and he looked over at Ivybounce, an unsure light in his gaze. "Fiery eyes? Do you think...?" He asked his beloved mate, tail twitching with apprehension. It had been seasons since they had seen the tom he believed it might be, but for now he was unsure.

"Sounds like Nightflame, to be frank! Many cats have orange eyes, but his were vibrant. Like fire, like you said...Oh Starclan, I haven't seen him in so long..." Ivybounce hummed, looking at her mate with a sad smile of memory.

Post by ♥Snowfire♥ on Feb 13, 2018 22:34:18 GMT -5
Eaglesight nodded slowly, eyes foggy with memories. "It has to be him. His eyes are why Snowstar named him that, or at least that's what my mother always said. A truly remarkable cat." He meowed solemnly, curling his tail around himself slightly as he spoke.

Rain listened carefully to the cats that argued with each other, taking in the details of their bickering. Smoke still walked beside her, absorbing the surroundings, committing them to memory so they could find their way out if needed. After the cat Pinefoot, stormed off Rain looked at her companion with a 'yikes' kind of expression. She kept silent as they walked and he wordlessly rejoined the patrol. "Are we getting close?" she asked, genuinely wanting to know, and attempting to break the silent air around them.
---
Wrenlight stayed with Featherflight a while longer before bidding her farewell. As she exited the nursery she smacked her face right into the chest of a large cat. "Oh!" she nearly bounced backward. "W-Wildstar! Hi! I'm sorry I didn't look before I walked out!" She laughed a little, nervously perhaps. "Did you want to see Featherflight? I think she's getting some rest right now so maybe check in some other time heh." Wrenlight rambled on. "...Or did you need something else?"

"Yes. In fact, the camp is right through here." Blackfire nodded, leading the patrol towards the entrance of camp with assured pawsteps.
Owlshadow looked intereted, eyes widening lightky. "Nightflame? He was one of the cats who...perished in the great collapse, right? My...father's father. Oh...It makes sense then, for him to summon Emberstorm to a dream, but, why Wildstar and not me? And why not Pinefoot?" She asked the elders lightly.
