Sparrowclan ~ The Strong and Daring (Always Open)

(rockydublin if you want to. You could also just give out names so that I can put them instead of the question marks in the relations section.
Stealthfire I'll sort out the members once I know how many of the inactive members and other members I need to delete.)

Bramblepath shrugged. "I just learned to be really good at telling if a cat is not well. My mother was always very weak, but she would pretend that she was fine to go out on patrols and what not. She was good enough to trick everyone into thinking that she was fine. So good in fact that no one noticed she had greencough until it was too late to save her," he said, not making eye contact with Mothpelt. "Because of that, I taught myself how to see that sort of thing so that I could stop it from happening to another cat."

Nightheart chuckled at Owlsight's words. "Well, maybe a story or two about hunting hawks up in the mountains will do the trick. What do you think?" He said. Nightheart always loved sharing his stories with other cats, especially one from his time before he joined Sparrowclan. It was his way of spreading his unique knowledge to them about subjects they might never be able to experience in their lives. Well, that was what he told other cats anyways. He just really enjoyed talking about his past.

(Ah, okay their mother’s name was Lotus and their father’s, Snow)

Mothpelt nodded her head. “I see. I’m sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine what that’s like. I never knew my mother... not that well anyway. I was separated from her when I was old enough to eat solid food.” She shook her head. “Um, sorry. I didn’t mean to say that.” She replied awkwardly. She didn’t want to make it about her and make the tom feel like his loss wasn’t important.

(AlphaWolves could you check my comment on your joining form? Thanks )

Bramblepath smiled at Mothpelt. "Don't worry about it. I've accepted it, and there is nothing I could have done at the time. I'm sorry about your mother as well. No cat should have to be separated from their mothers when their young," he said. He tapped her shoulder with his tail as he spoke, hoping to offer some degree of comfort to her. He knew how it felt to grow up without a mother, so he thought he might be able to offer more comfort to her than most other cats. He knew that he was probably wrong, but he decided tht he didn't particularly care.

"You should smile more often. It suits you," Bramblepath found himself saying before he realized it. He silently cursed himself for not thinking through what he was saying, and desperatly hoped that Mothpelt didn't find it weird. But of course she would find it weird. Medicine-cats normally didn't talk like that. He fought down the jumble of emotions and confusion and returned to a relatively emotionless state. "Well, anyways, we should keep going. Wouldn't want something to happen while the medicine cat isn't there, now would we?"

"Most things do. Then I say said things and regret saying them ten seconds later," Bramblepath laughed. "That might just be because I have no social life though," he said. Despite his best attempts to bottle up whatever feelings he had, he was extremely happy that Mothpelt was seeming to open up to him. It took his best effort to keep a stupid grin from growing on his face, but despite his best efforts the corners of his mouth still curled up slightly. He tried to return to the state of emotionlessness that he had been in five seconds ago, but ultimately failed. To hide his embaressment at his lack of composure, he turned and started slowly walking towards the stream. "Really, though, while I love talking with you we do have to keep moving. The stream isn't that far away, and we should find the burdock near it."

Mothpelt nodded her head. “Yes, we can talk more later.” She replied following after the medicine cat. At least she wasn’t the only one trying to not smile. It relieved her a bit, though she was unsure why. All that she needed to be focusing on the current task, which was helping Bramblepath find herbs for the clan. She just had to focus on that and then she wouldn’t be thinking about Bramblepath and the confusing feelings that seemed to be circling around him, because that would be a fruitless venture, and oh no she was thinking about it, nope, no. She needed to change her line of thought, she picked up the pace so she was walking next to him, looking ahead with her bad eye towards Bramblepath. Maybe if she didn’t see him the thoughts would go away?

Blackheart yawned as he stretched his long limbs out and shook his fur. Grey eyes scanned the desolate camp clearing before peering up at the open sky. A quiet sigh escaped his muzzle as he started to pad towards the entrance of camp to go on a small hunt, nodding a greeting to bluelotus and His brother. Ears twitched slightly as he gently made his way through the thick swaying grass.

Blackheart slowed to a stop, tail curling high as he looked over his shoulder and tilted his head. He didn’t really expect the two tons to follow him but didn’t mind the company for now. Quietly he waited for them to catch up and twitched his whiskers, “Morning, how are you both?” He asked politely

Blackheart glanced around once more as he took a small breath in to test the scents around. “I’m alright but it’s a little cold this morning” he shivered slightly as a cold breeze came through. His gaze shifted between the two as he studied them and narrowed his eyes in thought. “I don’t smell any predators so that’s a good sign some prey could be out looking for a meal like we are” he suggested and gazed out towards the small patch of trees.

“Let’s see if we can find some rabbits or mice there” Blackheart suggested as he started to head towards the small patch of marshy forest regardless of an answer. The Tom fell silent as they got closer and stopped to take in the scents around then. His paw steps softened as he quietly crouched and made his way through the soft mushy mud. Frogs and crickets could be heard through the marshy forest as life started to cone about for morning foraging, stealing a glance back at the other two he nodded towards the sound of scuffling on the waters surface. Muscles tensed as he stalked towards the waters edge and hesitantly peered through the murky water, watching fish slowly swim about below. Patience was a virtue when it came to fishing.

Fishing. One of his least favorite things, he had to use his paws given that he and his group’s tails weren’t as long as the others and he still needed to work on lessening the sound of the water splashing. Bluelotus was already by the water, watching the fish. Ready to strike.

Bluelotus stared down into the water, he was still shaking off the nightmare from last night, hoping that this would keep him out of his thoughts. Since hunting required his full attention and anything less could cost him a meal or a clanmate. Something he didn’t want.

Mothpelt nodded her head in understanding, trying to block him from her line of sight had done nothing to rid her of these feelings. She continued to walk to the water. “So, how did you know you wanted to be a Medicine Cat?” She asked. Maybe if she heard the reasoning the feelings would be quashed. She wondered if she should talk with Sparrowstar about this? It wasn’t something she was sure who to talk to about if she was being honest. Was this something you went to your leader about? Or did you ask fellow clanmates? The two got closer to the water, still in her own thoughts.

(It’s all good, Bramble. Hey so should one of them fall into the water? I’m wondering if there should be more physical contact between them ya know?)

Mothpelt w/ Bramblepath [𝓓𝓪𝓻𝓽𝓱 𝓑𝓻𝓪𝓶𝓫𝓵𝓮]

Mothpelt nodded her head, it made sense, had she been in the same position as him she probably would have done the same. So why did these feelings not go away? Why were they still here? She continued to rack her brain with questions, but they only lead to more questions. She was so wrapped in her thoughts she didn’t even notice how close she was to the water until she feel right in. Panic immediately fell over her for the time being she was no longer a member of SparrowClan, but a loner once more, something her mind did to her whenever she began to panic in dangerous situations like this. Since her injury she was usually weary when she was near a body of water, she scrambled to try and get out, trying not to make any sounds that could alert a cat of her presence. Hopefully if they heard the splashing they’d think nothing of it.

(Is this alright?)

Stygiansnow and Bluelotus w/ Blackheart [AlphaWolves]

Stygiansnow nodded his head sitting by the water, Bluelotus sitting two tail lengths away. He stared at the water, patiently waiting to strike, he spotted movement, his paw and face diving into the water, whatever was in his mouth wriggle and squirmed, he heaved himself above the water, backing away from the water. He bit the fish to stop it from moving. It was a bit smaller than the catch Blackheart pulled in but both would feed the clan. He shook off the water that was still on him and waited for his brother to catch something.

Bluelotus looked down at the water, waiting for a fish to move towards him. He heard his brother catch a fish and soon felt eyes on him. Whether they were genuinely there or not, he wouldn’t be able to tell, but it always made him anxious. And he was more likely to fail if he was anxious. He tried to remain calm as he kept staring into the water, waiting for a fish. He saw movement in the water, diving both his head and paws into the water. Something slimy touched his paws, he immediately pulled up and back. Unfortunately for him, he only pulled up muck and plant that now covered him. He quickly shook it off his pelt.

“Let’s see what else we can hunt, Blue.” Stygiansnow told his brother. He scented the air in search of a mouse, crouching down once he smelt something. He looked over to his brother who mimicked his action. The duo separated planning to chase the prey right to the other. Stygiansnow crouched keeping an eye on his brother who spotted a mouse. Bluelotus immediately pounced, chasing after the mouse who ran towards Stygiansnow without knowing it. He swatted it down, taking down the mouse with ease. “Great work, Blue.” He praised his brother. He smiled when his brother seemed to beam at his words. He preferred his brother’s smile to his frown, he’d seen enough of it when he was younger. He looked over to the tree he saw Blackheart climbed.
