Change all Around (Twine)

[Icestorm]

Dustwhisker stretched her back legs out behind her as she made her way out into the clearing from her new nest in the Warriors' Den. The small she-cat sat herself down at the edge of the camp, losing herself in thought. She couldn't stop herself from recalling everything that happened to her in such a short time. Pebblestar was gone, not that she was close with the she-cat, but she was her leader. It was strange for her to see Briarstar where Pebblestar once was. but that was her clan's life now. They had to just move on. Then there was becoming a warrior, she had been shocked but happy. She was a real warrior now. Her tail flicked as she continued to think about all the changes going on around her.

[Icestorm sorry for the late reply. I lost the thread lol :3
Redpaw was suppose to get his warrior name but got overlooked so hopefully the next ceremony ^^]

Redpaw dragged himself from the depths of his warm nest. His luxurious pelt a rumpled mess he makes his sleepy way out into the camp cave clearing. Like many nights he'd had a hard time sleeping. Falling in and out of constant nightmares. Blinking his golden amber eyes blearily, he staggers a little. Pausing he shakes his fur in an attempt to wake himself, his eyes flickering around. They fall on the form of Dustwhisker, and a tired smile lights his maw. Padding closer he inclines his head in greeting. " Morning Dustwhisker." He says, finding it odd to call her by her new name.

[Icestorm]

OOC: We can always make another thread for when they both have their names.

Dustwhisker's ear twitched at the sound of her new name. She turned her head towards the familiar voice, "Oh, Morning Redpaw!" She smiled to the tom. She didn't notice sleepy manner though as her mind was already wondering. Her thoughts jumping around from wondering if she should do something like hunt, she wondered what the clouds looked like elsewhere. She thought back to some of the changes again. She couldn't focus her thoughts at all really, but even with all the thoughts that flowed through her head it happened fairly quickly and before she knew it, "Let's go! I wanna go for a walk. It'll be fun." Her green eyes lit up with excitement. Just going for a walk was exciting to her, it was like an adventure each time.

Icestorm ^^

Redpaw yawns some, blinking his sleepy golden amber eyes at Dustwhisker. He purrs softly at her greeting, remembering their time spent together hunting and watching clouds. She was a kind she-cat a little distracted and easily lost but very kind. He liked her, she didn't ignore him. She seemed to really like him, which was something he still had to get used to. So when she suggested they go for a walk, he couldn't resist. Glancing over to the fresh kill pile he wonders if his stomach was settled enough to eat. Probably not, he thought flashes of his nightmares popping into his head. Blinking them away he nods and smiles some. " Well alright." He says, taking a few paw steps towards the camp exit. Wishing that he could have so much energy in the morning, if only I could get a good nights sleep... he thought. but shaking his thoughts away, he flickers his plume of a tail and starts to exit the cave.

[Icestorm]

Dustwhisker was excited that Redpaw agreed to go with her. It was nice to have a friend that she could do things with. Maplebreeze was never around really, and she wasn't one to go looking for him; Russetfern had died not too long ago. Redpaw was there though.

The small she-cat made stretched herself her out, her upper body pushing down as her paws stretched in front of her, leaving her back end up in the air with her tail twitching side to side. She smiled and pounced forward with a small giggle. She may be a warrior, but Dustwhisker was young at heart. "Come on then!" She had no place in mind to go, but that was part of the fun. "So how have you been Redpaw?"

Redpaw glances around as Dustwhisker paused to stretch herself out. He turns watching as she arches her back high in the air, his golden amber eyes still attempting to blink sleep from their depths. Yawning softly he jumps a little with surprise when she pounces forwards. Turning quickly he follows after the small she-cat, his thick ears flickering at her words. " I have been..." He hesitates having to think about his answer a moment. " Well pretty good... I guess." He admits which was true. He had been having a decent go of things lately. It was a fact he hadn't really realized until Dustwhisker had asked. Now it hit him that for once in his life he was actually starting to enjoy it. He loved his training sessions with Morningsky, and he even sort of liked his odd connection with Spiderkit. It made him feel included, and not invisible like before.
Realizing he'd fallen into a thoughtful silence, he flushes. " H-how have you been?" He asks quickly his golden amber eyes sliding to hers, as the pair tread out into the path of blaring sunshine. When the sunlight caught his fur the effect was rather mesmerizing. It went from handsome to stunning in a matter of seconds. The sunlight making his reddish tabby and white fur glow brilliantly, as he tread along the dull grey rock which was their homeland. His plume of a tail waving though the air, like a marvelously fluffy sail. Even his eyes which were still half closed with sleepiness, gleamed a wonderful warm golden color in the sun's dazzling rays.

Dustwhisker cocked her head slightly waiting for Redpaw to answer her, his pause made her wonder what he was thinking about. Was it important or was it just a stray thought? However, as he answered she smiled to him and the wonder was gone. She was glad to hear he was good with everything that had happened within the clan.

"Me? Hmm," the small she-cat thought for a moment. All the change that happened to her filtered again through her head in just a moment. "Yep. I'm good." Sure it was all changing and all different, but wasn't that life. Dustwhisker was just going to go with it like always.

Just then as a small bird flew over Dustwhisker she smiled again. "Do you ever wonder what flying is like?" The question was random and almost out of place. Yet, she couldn't stop herself. It was just a thought that crept up on her.

[Twineheart]

( Icestorm Gah I have this bookmarked but my name is blue and yours is too so I always think I've replied when I haven't lol )

Redpaw was glad to here that Dustwhisker was doing good. Feeling a little guilty that he hadn't gotten around to seeing her after their first time hanging out together. " That's good." he says kindly his golden amber eyes watching her as they strode along. He had no clue where she was taking him, but at the moment he didn't really care. It was just nice to be out of camp, and away from his nightmares. " I um never got to congratulate you on becoming a warrior." he says after a few moments of just walking. " So... uh congrats." He says awkwardly cursing himself for his lack of social skills.

Luckily for Redpaw his awkwardness was disturbed. He glances to the sky when she spoke, noticing the bird soaring over there heads. His eyes squinting in the blinding sunlight he tilts his head some at her question. " Uh...." He says thoughtfully. " No I haven't... to be honest." he adds suddenly wondering what it might be like. Flying through the air, free of all worries. It might be nice now that he thought about it. " What about you?" He asks her. " You wonder about it?" He asks softly.

[Icestorm]

OOC: That is what happens to me all the time!

Dustwhisker almost missed Redpaw's congratulations. Her head cocked closer to the tom, "Thanks! Can't wait for you to get your name!" She was honest, as that was her first thought. She couldn't help but wonder about his name, and how much longer it would take. He seemed like a very capable warrior that would help the clan, and that kinda made her smile.

The gray she-cat's ears perked when Redpaw answered her question. She wasn't really too surprised by his answer, after all her head was always in the clouds, at least that was what Maplebreeze said. "Oh yes," she said excitedly and smiled largely, "I always wondered what it would be like to higher than clouds. You know? And be free to just move where ever I want." She turned to him with an innocent look in her eyes, "Wouldn't that be fun?"

[Twineheart]

Redpaw is a little surprised when he turns his head to look at Dustwhisker only to find her head cocked so close to his. He flushes some, glancing to his paws as the strode on. but he quickly looks up when she speaks again, his golden amber eyes warm. " Me too..." He says in agreement. His plume of a tail flickering through the air as he thought about receiving his name. At the start of his apprenticeship he wouldn't of thought he'd ever get his name nor deserve to. but now after moons spent training he was finally ready to become a warrrior for his clan.

His reddish pelt blazing like fire in the sunshine, Redpaw continues alongside Dustwhisker as the pair climbed a rocky slope. His eyes however wonder to the sky as Dustwhiser spoke, his thick ears listening curiously. He isn't the least bit surprised that Dustwhisker entertained the idea of flying so often. She seemed to be one for daydreaming. Nodding his head some at her words, his whiskers twitch some and he smiles a little. " Yeah... I think it could be a lot of fun. " he admits golden amber eyes twinkling in the sunlight. " but being Talonclanners I think we get the next best thing." He points out, turning and padding to the edge of a rocky ledge. There he pauses and looks outwards at the territories below. Like dots on a tiny map, Talonclan's view showed the entirety of the clan territories and more.

[Icestorm]

Dustwhisker climbed the rocks half lost in a daze yet again. She couldn't stop thinking about the idea of flying. Would it be warm because I'm so close to the sun? Wait what if its cold? As a talonclan warrior she was used to the cool air as she climbed higher. So maybe that would make more sense. Warm or cold she wanted to know either way. Her green eyes were focused on the sky, wide with an innocence of wonder.

Her ears twitched. Oh wait... he agreed! she smiled brightly to Redpaw, "To be up with the clouds, just imagine. What would the clouds feel like?" She looked back up to the sky only to turn back to Redpaw, "Oh. Hmm, Never thought of that before. Guess you're right." The gray tabby she-cat followed him to the ledge. The view, always so breath taking. She moved lay her small body down next to the tom.

[Twineheart]

[Icestorm ]

Redpaw watches as Dustwhisker eyes the the sky. His slightly tufted ears, flicker upwards at his words. " Kinda fluffy like a rabbit? I suppose.." he says thoughtfully then lets out the smallest of chuckles as she looks at him. His fur heats up, had he really just said that out loud? He wondered shifting his paws awkwardly as they both peered out over the ledge. The wind ruffling his luxurious pelt softly, he blinks his golden amber eyes when she spoke once more. Watching as the far smaller she-cat curled up beside him, surprised he hesitates befoe settling himself down beside her. His fluffy pelt brushing hers every so slightly. " Well... " He starts taking a soft breath and trying to get comfortable upon the stoney ledge. " Short of flying for real I really think we have the best view of all the clans." he says, his eyes roaming over the view, their golden depths blazing in the sunshine. " I mean I doubt even the Leafclanners get such a nice view when they climb up into those birch trees of theirs." He adds, voice trailing off in thought.

[Icestorm]

The she-cat smiled at the thought Redpaw had given her. It made perfect sense too! "Oh! Yes!" The warrior rolled to her side still smiling, "Hmm. Your fur looks soft I bet it could be like that too," she said without filter. It was just a thought, not like they could deny his fur was soft since it was clearly long and fluffy. To her it was just a simple sentence of a thought.

Dustwhisker sat herself up as Redpaw mentioned more about their clan. She let out a purr, "I like our view! We get the to see the clouds and sun above the trees."

[Twineheart]

[Icestorm]

Redpaw lets out a small huff of amusement when Dustwhisker agrees with his thoughts. His long whiskers twitching some as he glances down at her, watching as she turns onto her side. He tilts his skull as she speaks, and feels himself blushing. Blinking his golden amber eyes rapidly he lets out an awkward chuckle and flickers his tail. " I suppose it c-could." he says, looking to his white forepaws before back around at Dustwhisker.

Perking up his tufted ears, Redpaw finds himself smiling again. His handsome face lit up in the sunshine as he nods his skull, releasing his own purr. " Yeah it's great." He says, eyeing the view once again. " Especially at sunset..." He adds mind wondering to the abandoned lookout. It was there he'd taken Dustwhisker hunting when she was an apprentice. but since then he'd been back and discovered it was perfect for watching the sun sink behind the mountain. Flushing once more he realizes he'd fallen silent and glances sideways at the smaller she-cat.

[Icestorm]

Twineheart I promised myself I would track our threads better.

Dustwhisker smiled brightly to Redpaw as he agreed about his fur. She was sure with how much he had it had to be soft like a cloud. And the red could be like the sun above the clouds. Her thoughts bounced around the idea of his fur being a perfect example of the sky. She would love to have a fur like that. Yeah! It would be a constant reminder of the sky, she loved her gray tabby fur as it reminded her of her mother - where ever she was, but Redpaw's was very unique.

Wait wait sunset? "Redpaw! Can we stay for sunset," she asked with her bottom in the air and her head down with her front paws, her green eyes large with excitement, "Please."
