TideClan

[Raven]

Viperclaw grinned wickedly at Tropicalpaw, eyeing Morningwind briefly, his jade eyes glimmering. "Yeah, I s'pose she would." He meowed softly, his tail flicking behind him absent-mindedly. (WB. BLECH.)

[Dark]

Tropicalpaw flashed him another grin, then stood. He turned and went over to Sandspirit. "Would you like to join me on a walk? Perhaps Morningwind would like to come as well." He glanced up at the queen, who was giving him an icy stare. He knew the she-cat would outright refuse if he outright asked her to join him on a walk, but perhaps if she thought she were joining her brother, it might distract her from whatever was on her mind. He flashed a quick wink at Sandspirit, almost unseen.[/color]

[Raven]

Sandspirit nodded discreetly, a small sly creen crossing his features before he stood, stretching and padding over to Morningwind. He glanced back at Tropicalpaw, making sure that the other tom was coming. "Will you join us for a walk?" He meowed, eyes sparkling as his tail whisked behind him hopefully.

[Dark]

Morningwind glanced suspiciously between the two toms, her ear twitching to the side. What were they up to? It would keep her mind off other things, though. "Alright." She heaved herself to her feet, wobbling for a moment before gaining balance again.

))Is anyone else gonna play one of her kits?(([/color]

[Raven]

((*sticks hand into the air* I will!!!))

Sandspirit nodded, happy with the work that he and Tropicalpaw had done, before licking his sister on the cheek and stepping forward, his eyes shining brightly as his tail flicked behind him, waiting patiently beside Morningwind for Tropicalpaw to lead. After all, it was his idea.

[Dark]

))What name are you gonna use? Tom or she-cat? My two of hers are Crabkit(a ginger tom) and Piperkit(a dark black and ginger tortoiseshell she-kit).((

Tropicalpaw stepped forward. "Let's head towards the stream. It always looks pretty at this time of day." His tail flicking back and forth happily, Tropicalpaw led the way past the others and out of camp, keeping his pace slow enough for the plump queen.[/color]

[Raven]

"Good idea." Meowed Sandspirit, before he began to slowly and nonchalantly pad forward, glancing upwards at the pretty sky and wondering how the journey to the Seastone was going with the other party of cats.

((I put her under 'Raven's New Kits' but I didn't put Scarsong's kit up there, because they aren't born yet. *nodnod*))

[Ori]

Cloudedpaw and Silverpaw joined the group, "Ready!" Cloudedpaw spoke for both of them. Forsakenheart nodded and looked to Stormyeyes, "I supose that's everyone," he blinked repectfully, then distributed his herb packs, "Everyone should eat theese." Cloudedpaw found it difficult to swallow the bitter herbs, but Silverpaw and Forsakenheart gulped them down like candy.

[Dark]

Morningwind allowed her mind to wander a restricted line. She limited herself to thoughts such as, 'That flower smells good,' or, 'Boy, that bird would taste good right now.' She wouldn't allow herself to think of her coming kits or even of Graysun.[/color]

Stormyeyes licked down the herbs with ease. As a former queen and a long-standing warrior, she was used to swallowing herbs, probably more so than Forsakenheart, who handed out herbs, not ate them. Her eyes glittered with amusement at Cloudedpaw's trouble. "You get used to it after a while." Shaking the dust from her fur one last time, she flicked her tail and set off at an easy pace.[/color]

[Raven]

Sandspirit trotted along, every once in awhile glancing at Morningwind, but for the most of it kept to his own thoughts. He was watching the sky as he padded along, his tail absent-mindedly flicking behind him. This wasn't an awkward silence, but a comfortable one- a pause in life, to appreciate what was out there instead of fearing it.

Scarsong quickly ate the herbs, trying to ignore the taste and followed Stormyeyes, her heart bursting with excitement and happiness as she glanced at Forsakenheart with one haunting amber eye. Though she loved him with all of her heart, she wanted their first true moments together to be spent together alone...and, StarClan willing, that would be provided to them on this journey.

[Dark]

))Do you think we could skip ahead a bit ahead to where Stormy and gang are closer to the Seastone and Morning and company are resting by the stream?((

[Raven]

{{Sure. XD}}

Sandspirit was laying on his back, basking in the sun and absent-mindedly plopping his paws on top the water, causing little splashes as he nearly dozed off. (MAJOR WB.)

[Ori]

OOC|| That's a good idea.

Forsakenheart could feel his paws aching from the long journey, but he said nothing, and was sure his face was emotionless. His eyes had a tendency to drift towards Scarsong, but he always reeled them back with a content feeling. Silverpaw, however, was feeling the side-effects of the trip. Such a young apprentice was not fit for the rough terrain. He was dragging his paws slightly, his tail hung low, and a look of exhaustion was on his face, but he said not a word. Cloudedpaw was in better shape. Her tail was low, but she hadn't hit rock bottom, and the anticipation of seeing the seastone kept her going.

[Dark]

Stormyeyes glanced over her shoulder at the others following her. She suppressed a smile, looking at Silverpaw. He was doing better than she had on her first journey to the Seastone. Her mentor, Wildface, had taken her early, when she'd been training for only a few weeks. Stormypaw had been too exhausted to continue much further than halfway, and she and Wildface had turned back. Cloudedpaw, on the other paw, was doing well. Yes, soon she would make a fine warrior. Perhaps before full moon, TideClan would have two new warriors. And certainly new kits... She sighed aloud at the thought of Morningwind. She wasn't sure she'd ever understand that young she-cat.[/color]

Morningwind was laying atop a sun-heated boulder. Although the sun was beginning to set, warmth still lingered beneath her paws. She opened her eyes slowly. Why did she feel so uncomfortable, laying in such a peaceful place? She felt like leaping up and pacing back and forth... She frowned.[/color]

[Raven]

Scarsong's eyes were barely kept off of Forsakenheart, but she could still feel the weariness in her paws. She slipped over to trot along beside him, but not too close; not just yet. She could feel his warmth, could smell him, and a smile that she desperately fought finally won and slid onto her face, amber eyes sparkling with delight and joy.

[Dark]

Stormyeyes flicked her tail for the others to follow, but this time she moved more slowly. "We are very close now," she said to them over her shoulder. And in perfect timing too, she thought. The sun had almost disappeared completely behind the horizon.[/color]

[Ori]

Forsakenheart looked to the setting sun. Perhpas it was a sign, a sign of closure and a new begining. He felt a small lump rise in his throat, he had forgotten about what SunClan would think of him! He cringed a little as he thought about the possible nightmares they may send to him.

[Raven]

Scarsong easily and quietly moved to her spot beside the entrance of the Seastone, sitting down and curling her silver tail around her sleek haunches, nodding to everybody that would enter the Seastone with happiness and a tad of worry in her heart. What would SunClan think of Forsakenheart? Of Stormyeyes? Of everyone?

[Dark]

"Scarsong, Cloudedpaw, why don't you two stay out here." Without waiting for an answer, the gray tabby turned away, slipping quietly into the cave with a tail-flick at the others. The cave was dark and smelled like everything else around: of salt.[/color]

[Raven]

Scarsong's bright amber eyes sparkled as she meowed softly, "Yes, Stormyeyes." Sitting herself delicately by the entrance to the Moonstone, wrapping her sleek tail around her front paws, licking her chest absently while watching Forsakenheart with her peripheral vision.
