[Gah, I hate it when technology gets glitchy. Like, half the time these forums end up eating my posts. Would probably have a lot higher of a post count otherwise.] He woke slowly, taking some time to quietly marvel at the tabby form of Duskwatcher. Eventually, he spoke. "Cold today," Rowanheart mused softly. At least his long fur protected him from the chill. Duskwatcher hummed, his head still resting on Rowanheart's side." Tell me about it. At least you have long fur.", he said, his eyes still closed. "That I do," he chuckled. "But hey, at least you've got me to keep you from freezing to death." Rowanheart added, lazily swiping his tongue over one of Duskwatcher's ears. "...I suppose we should get up and greet the day eventually?"

Alderstripe skidded to a halt after reaching the river, a y grin on his face as he sat down and waited for Daisypelt to join him. He considered how to sit, layed back, sleeping, on his back or just get straight down to fishing. The brown tom went with the layed back and casually licked his paws...until he realised that Daisypelt wasnt that far behind him. She should be here. Alderstripe jumped up and began running down the trail Daisypelt should have come through. "Daisypelt?" He called out, panic evident in his voice. He practically fell over Daisypelt when he found her "You alright down there?" "I I'm fine she mewed" she mewed blinking to try and stop the world from spinning under for paws she got up and tried to walk towards him but her paw gave out under her weight "Ouch!" she squeaked in surprise and pain when she fell to the ground

"Very well," Rowanheart answered, and shifted so that more of his body was curled around Duskwatcher's. "We have all the time in the world, after all. No patrols to go on, or anything. Such is the life. Never thought I'd enjoy being retired so much." [oh gosh what if these two had more kids at some point. there's a thought]

Wildheart padded into his den and dropped his herbs. "You're up," he meowed cheerily, walking over to Flameblaze. "How are you feeling?" "A little sore.", he said, yawning slightly." what about you? Are you ok?", he asked. "I just had few scratches," Wildheart told him. "Where are you sore?"

Have them like find some kits on a walk, or something else?) Duskwatcher chuckled." It sure is nice.", he said." We could sleep all day if we really wanted to, and no one could complain. Could never do that as a warrior."

Just that lingering dull sting from them healing. I'll be fine.", he said, his tail flicking slightly." How's Echosong?"

Or if they ever make any close friends, they could ask one of them to surrogate somewhere down the line or something.] The dark ginger tabby chuckled lowly in return. "That it is, love. That it is. And, we potentially could have, but would it have been worth being chewed out by the leader or deputy? I suppose that depends on your opinion of authority, but still. Spending your entire evening getting shamed because you wanted a few hours of rest just doesn't seem worth it to me." Really, this conversation was beginning to make him think of his brother. Cedarnose had gotten on his nerves many a time before, but Rowanheart still cared for him in some manner. The tortoiseshell was family, after all.

She got chewed out by Dawnriver.", he said, and chuckled softly." I feel so old sometimes. I was a kit when Lightningstar died, I remember Swiftstar and Dawnstar well, and now Furzestar is the leader. I remember when I was that tom's mentor, was he a handful. For the longest time he thought he would get special treatment because he was Dawnstar's son, but oh did I teach him.", he said, purring fondly at the memories.

"Well, at least she didn't actually miss it," Rowanheart responded with a loud snort. "Four leaders, technically. Impressive..Come to think of it, I never did get to be a mentor, no matter where I was. I suppose there were always choices that the leaders thought would be better than me, or parents just had specific mentors in mind for all their children in advance." At this, the tomcat shrugs. "I'll never really know the reasons, because all of that's behind me now. But it doesn't matter; the present does. And, I'm sure you did. I never quite understood why the children of high-ranking cats expect to get special treatment from everyone. They have to earn it from some, as their parents did."

And now you could not find a humbler cat than Furzestar.", he said with a chuckle." And I had a few apprentices. I loved mentoring, the young cats always had something they could teach me, even if it was as simple a thing as patience.", he said with a purr.

He's always seemed too busy," Rowanheart casts a brief glance at the campground outside the elders' den before returning his attention to Duskwatcher and continuing to speak. "Hmm. Well, things can be learned from everyone, I suppose."

I'll be fine.", he said, his tail flicking slightly." How's Echosong?" (I wish you all the luck! I'll be taking mines in October) Wildheart narrowed his eyes. He moved closer to Flameblaze and began expecting his injuries. "I'll be the judge of that. And Echosong is adjusting. I think his pride might have been the biggest wound he got; no one expected to be attacked by a bunch of rouges."

But he's told me before it's because he feels so pressured to do his best, having to live up to his mother and Swiftstar and Lightningstar's legacy.', he said and smiled, his tail thumping a bit, his eyes still closed.

I think his pride might have been the biggest wound he got; no one expected to be attacked by a bunch of rogues." "No kidding.', he said, and sighed, laying down so Wildheart could check his wounds." My question is, why are two rogues being so bold as to attack us in our own territory? Territory they don't know."

"Perhaps they aren't just lone rouges," Wildheart meowed, sniffing over Flameblaze's injuries. "There isn't any inflamation, which is good. It means those rouges haven't been running around eating crowfood."

"We'll be finding out soon enough," Wildheart meowed darkly. Then he paused; Flameblaze was just another warrior in the clan; he shouldn't be saying things like that to him. He wouldn't have, if he saw Flameblaze as just another warrior. "I just mean they'll probably be back again."

I guess you're right.", he said quietly, not trying to think too much about what he had said, and laid his head back down, though he continued to watch Wildheart.

My father's uncle was Lightningstar's mother's father.", he said." So it's distantly my family."

DaisyPelt looked up and smiled a small smile at him and mewed "Thank you AlderStripe" she mewed siting up awkwardly Aldetstripe looked around to see if there was anything he could use to help them, but the tom couldnt find much more than some sticks and old leaves. "I could probably carry you back... it wont be a comfortable ride but we dont have much choice if you cant walk."

Rowanheart's whiskers twitched as he spoke.

Runningshadow is so much like his mother, sometimes it just drives me up the wall. Nighthawk always rushed into things, and now Runningshadow does the same thing."
