There was anger in Rainflight's eyes, anger and despair and so many other negative emotions that he couldn't name. If it weren't for the nostalgia in her eyes, he would have thought she were mad at him or Dapplekit. But that was ridiculous, because while she could totally get mad at him, she'd never been angry with her foster daughter. A voice from the warriors den made him look over. It was Mousepelt, a cat who'd been born outside of the Clan but been accepted into it upon his request to join. Honestly, Blizzardshard wasn't sure what to think of him. As a warrior, he did his duties well. He hunted for the Clan, fought when it was necessary, and followed orders without complaint. As a cat, though... Mousepelt was quiet, almost never speaking unless spoken to and preferring to stay in the back of patrols. It was actually rather surprising that Mousepelt accepted Rainflight's invitation to sit with them. Blizzardshard probably should have sent at least one of them back to bed, but there were enough warriors in the Clan that two or three sleep-deprived cats wouldn't make much of a difference. He just hoped Rainflight remembered that she was supposed to be on guard duty and didn't get too distracted. Then again, with three warriors there, he doubted anything would get passed them. Blizzardshard turned his attention back to Dapplekit just as she started answering. Another thing kits were good for besides amusement and coddling: stroking his ego. Dapplekit listed off the reasons why she wanted him to mentor her, and Blizzardshard tossed his head a little in mock-arrogance, a cheeky smirk on his face. "I know, I know, I'm awesome. Worry not, young one, I shall teach you all of my techniques and skills in the hopes of passing along my sheer epicness to the next generation." word count :: tagged ::

It seems the four cats had broken into two separate groups; two having one conversation and the other two having their separate little chat. Rainflight honestly didn't know what to think about the situation. Honestly she felt a little awkward because of her body being placed right in the middle of the exchanging words between Dapplekit and Blizzardshard, and also due to the fact that Mousepelt was the only one that seemed interested in continuing conversing with her. Glancing between the deputy and her daughter, she stifled a smirk of amusement as the big gray tom seemed pretty full of himself not in just a playful way, but in a serious way as well determined by the way he was puffed out. Like he needs any self-confident boosts. The whole Clan is in love with him. Her attention swiveled back to Mousepelt, who was holding up well considering the time of night. Her awkwardness grew, hoping that not only did he not mind all the voices and noises, but that she didn't make him feel left out or awkward himself. Then her nervousness grew as he mentioned his plan of taking a walk and felt even more horrible. Rainflight already felt guilty enough for so forcefully inviting him over, let alone knowing now that she ruined his midnight stroll. She opened her mouth to suggest they take a walk together, eliminating the commotion as well as her uselessness in her contribution to the other two's playful attire, but she realized with a snap of her jaws she was supposed to be on guarding duty. "I'm just a little cold, but besides that I'm alright..." she replied, a pang of sympathy sparkling in her eyes after hearing about his restless nights. She really never thought twice before about him not feeling comfortable with groups of cats, let alone how he must feel cramped up at night. Rainflight always took her Clan-life for granted; her whole lifestyle has not changed since she was a kit and everything was extremely natural for her. It never even crossed her mind how difficult it would be if she suddenly changed lifestyles and had to adapt. Unfortunately, she didn't know how to help the young tom except to make him feel as comfortable as possible. "So..how is it like adjusting? Do you feel like you are fitting in?" Pressing these questions was probably not the best way to make him feel comfortable, but itching curiosity and pressure from not knowing for sure what to say got the best of her. words: 423 for: Mousepelt [bg=ebe0b2]

Mousepelt said as if the question sounded strange to him going silent for a moment and he looking away from the she cat he was talking to scanning the ground as he thought. At this time he was aware that the other two cats he had greeted earlier seemed to still be talking but to lost in his own thoughts he did not focus on what they were talking about. "Um fine I guess...I mean I'm not complaining or any thing its just feels strange having so many other cats around. I guess I just got kind of use to not having any one else around." Mousepelt said stopping for moment as his ear started to twitch a little again looking a bit uncomfortable as he started to talk again "As for fitting in I feel like I stick out as bad as a bagger in a cramped den you all know each other so well and I'm...I'm probably just over thinking things again." Mousepelt said his tail quickly flicking back and forth behind him and his eyes darting away again. Mousepelt tock a moment to take a deep breath this seemed to calm him a bit as his ear stopped twitching and his tail slowed down a bit after that he looked back to Rainflight and went on talking again "Any way about the cold I definitely know how you feel with my short fur. Only thing I can suggest to you is to keep moving around when ever you can how ever you can it always helps me worm up." he said trying his best to change the subject. [/style]

Dapplekit couldn't help but giggle at the deputy as he started talking highly of himself and how he would teach her everything that he knew. She knew he wasn't lying but the way he was puffing out his fur made him look like a puff ball. She really enjoyed spending time with Blizzardshard and she really did hope the one day he would become her mentor. She could just picture it now, them two running through the forest chasing off any rouges or other clan cats that didn't belong. They would be an awesome pairing. "Oh Blizzardshard! Guess what! I've been working on my attacking too! You wanna see?!" she asked excitedly bouncing up and down on her little paws. Before the tom could answer she had already slipped away from her mother who was talking to Mousepelt and charged at the tom. She jumped up and her small head collided into his chest, which barely did any damage, but the force and the unpreparedness sent them rolling. She quickly scrambles onto his back and attempted to wrap her paws around his neck (careful not to use her claws as her mother had told her) and lightly gnawed on the poor toms fluffy ear. Sfee? i iff hetting bweffer." she said around a mouthful of his fur, her small stripped tail swishing back and forth excitedly. After a bit she let go and rolled off giggling as the warrior batted her away. She crouched wiggling her small rear end in the air. To most warriors, she was just being a kit playing like usual, but to her, she was proving that she was ready to learn, ready to prove to the clan that she would work just as hard, or even harder, to be accepted into their ranks.

"Yeah," Rainflight replied a little awkwardly, her mind still on the topic of his adjusting progress but having to respect his change of subject. It still felt weird to hear another cat getting used to Clan life. She always thought it was the easiest life to belong to, besides being a kittypet maybe. But he didn't used to be a kittypet, so his life seems like it would be a bad memory, not something he missed and had to get over for the sake for his new foster family. What was even more silly was that Rainflight never really thought of him as an outsider or any odd one out. But, that also could be she was distracted with more important things to really have a chance to think that way. She was, she thought guiltily, acting a little bit like that now just by being so curious about his past and his transitioning process to Clan life. "I would have liked to join you on your walk, but I'm on guard duty--" Before she could say anything else or give him a little comfort, Dapplekit bounded out of the shelter of her fur and with a blur attacked the Clan deputy. Rainflight gave a startled gasp. "Dapplekit! Get back here right now. Do not just randomly attack your seniors like that. And it's too cold to be outside of shelter." Rainflight's hard gaze was solid on her daughter, her tail gesturing her back. Embarrassment heated her insides in the sight of both warriors, and it was too late to take her lecture back in case Blizzardshard was going to encourage this behavior. Although it was 'good practice', it was very disreprectful and it was also very cold outside. The kit was lucky enough to be outside of the nursery as it was. words: 302 for: Mousepelt, Dapplekit, Blizzardshard [bg=ebe0b2]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=style,width:423px; height:338px; padding-left: 11px; background: url(http://i.imgur.com/MWdweeF.png);] Mousepelt had been listening to Rainflight happy that she had let him change the topic but then he started to see a lot of movement out of the corner of his eye so he turned to get a better view of what was happening just in time to see Dapplekit knocking Blizzardshard over and then finishing the rest of her display. This made him smile finding it a bit amusing to see a kit nocking down a warrior to be fare he was taken by surprise but still. "Well...that was unexpected." he finally said after Rainflight was done scowling Dapplekit thinking better of saying anything directly about the display not wanting to say any thing to encourage Dapplekit for what she did. Mousepelt was impressed with the kit however taking down such a large "enemy" even if it was a surprise attack and the "enemy" in question was the deputy of the clan. With his mind on what just happened he seemed to relax a bit his mind now off his own insecurity for a bit at the vary lest "Any way about the walk don't worry about it in the slightest I wasn't expecting anyone else to go with me in the first place. Besides my walks are never really all that interesting and would probably bore you I just take them to help me clear my head. " Mousepelt said smiling a bit as he started to stretch his legs that were starting to feel a little numb from sitting in place for a little to long (for Mousepelt any way). [/style]
