Rogue, thread for Ivyheart and Boulderfall

Ivyheart padded up the mountain she needed a break. With two apprentices the warrior barely had anytime for herself and her naps anymore. The warrior's fur was un-groomed as usual but it had been a couple days now. The warrior felt like maybe today was the day to clean it. She just wanted some peace while she did this so she headed towards the dead willow. Because well nobody really goes there anymore. She just climbed up the side of the mountain easily her green eyes easily finding good places to put her paws. She then got to the dead willow and she smiled when she saw the perfect sunny spot for herself. Padded over she sat down, the warm rock under her paws from the sun made her purr slightly. Thats when she started grooming her unkept tabby pelt. It would be a while before it was all clean and perfect. She just kept working at it closing her green eyes in the process.

Boulderfall peered down at the tabby she-cat from where he perched on the flat surface of a rock, his yellow eyes wide with curiosity. The tom had been practicing his climbing skills, as he often did in the late afternoon, when he had spotted his Clanmate (he was pretty sure her name was Ivyheart) picking her way up the steep mountainside. She had flopped down in a patch of sun and began to groom her unkempt pelt, apparently oblivious to his presence. He resisted a loud purr of delight; this could be fun.

Boulderfall padded silently to the edge of the rock, his muscles flexing under his short blue-grey pelt. He spotted a pebble lying there and, after a quick glance toward the she-cat, flicked out a paw and swiped it off of the edge. He watched as the pebble fell and then bounced off of the top of Ivyheart's head, flicking his striped tail in amusement.

Ivyheart finished her back and started licking her paw to clean her ears and face. The tabby warrior had no clue about a fellow clan mate that was right behind her. She she groomed herself she thought about her apprentices. There was Russetpaw who seemed to be frightened of her. Ivyheart thought for a moment. What could she do to make the cat feel more comfortable, thinking for a moment she finally said to herself, What would Quailtail do or maybe Tigerfang? Ivyheart stopped grooming for a moment and thought about her sister's reaction, she would probably tone it down a bit and talk to her apprentice on a more personal level. Tigerfang on the other hand would just demand for things to happen. Ivyheart just started grooming once again. Maybe I should talk to Quailtail about it. So thats when the tabby warrior thought about paying a visit to her sister. but all those thoughts turned bad when she felt a stone hit her in the head. Flattening her ears she just watched as the pebble tumble down the rest of the mountain. Turning around slowly she saw a cat flick his tail in amusement. She just couldn't hold it in,

"WHAT IN STARCLAN'S NAME WAS THAT FOR!"

Then she stood up and looked at him with a glare, she then stomp up to him and with a bit of snap in her voice, "You know thats not a good way to impress the ladies. Throwing rocks at them, thats the way to make them hate you." Then she just looked up at him her green eyes scanning over him slightly. His name was Boulderfall, she knew that much. but other than that she really didn't know him. but throwing a pebble at her head was not a good way to start.

The she-cat was not amused. Boulderfall knew this as soon as the pebble struck her head and her ears flattened against her skull. She spun around and glared up at him, and her furious yowl made him cringe a little. She stomped up the rocks toward him, and he found himself backing up a few pawsteps. This cat was fierce, and even though she was smaller than him, he was surprised to find that he was a little intimidated by her. His yellow eyes looked her over curiously. She was quite a pretty cat, in his opinion. He had seen her around camp before, but he had never actually stopped to look at her. The sunlight caused her light brown pelt to shine with a golden tint, and he found that he was quite enchanted.

"I don't throw rocks at just any lady," Boulderfall responded, his whiskers twitching with amusement. "Only the pretty ones."

Ivyheart just watched as the tom actually backed away from her. Good you better be scared She just instantly thought. Then she looked up at the tom, he was quite a bit larger than her but it was normal for the she-cat to look up to others. Most of her friends were larger than her. She just blinked her green eyes at the tom as he seemed to scan her over. She just let him, personally she didn't care if cats were looking at her. She just looked over this tom herself. If he was going to do the same for him. She wasn't going to lie he was handsome, but Ivyheart hadn't had time to just sit and look at toms all day she had apprentices to train, sisters to visit, naps to take. She just then bright her green eyes back to his face when he started talking. She narrowed her eyes slightly then she watched his whiskers twitched then she heard the next words. She just rolled her eyes playfully at him and then took a step closer to the tom. "Oh why thank you." Then she twitched her whiskers, "You know theres better ways on getting a she-cats attention, is call respect and coming up to them and saying Hi or Hello. Not throwing rocks at them." Then the warrior decided to sit down. She had a pelt to finish grooming after all. She started cleaning her face once again, watching Boulderfall out of the corner of her eye the whole time.

Boulderfall sat down across from her, laying his striped tail neatly over his paws. He watched as she continued to groom herself, slightly amused. The fact that she had been looking him over hadn't escaped his notice, though he chose not to mention it. It was difficult, though; the jokester part of him was clamoring to make a joke about it. He tilted his head to one side at her words, his whiskers twitching with laughter. "It wasn't a rock, it was a pebble," he meowed. "And it seemed to get your attention just fine. Fortunately for me." He flicked his ears at the she-cat, purring softly.

Ivyheart just finished groom her face once the tom sat down. She was now completely done with her pelt and she smiled slightly. It always took so much work to groom a pelt thats why she tended to not groom it ever. She just looked at the tom in front of her. Her green eyes blinked at him slightly and then Boulderfall started talking once again. She just frowned at him and then roll her eyes playfully at him before saying easily, "Technically a pebble is a small rock. So you still threw a rock a me." Then she just shook her head saying, "Well it would get any mouse brain's attention Boulderfall. Maybe I should try throwing one at you to see if it gets your attention." Then the tabby twitched her whiskers at the tom. Before yawning slightly, she looked back over at her sunny patch thinking that it would be nice to be in the sun. but then she glanced back at Boulderfall, she just didn't want to leave quite yet.

Boulderfall purred at Ivyheart's words. "Ah, so the lady has brains as well as beauty." The tom flicked the tip of his tail, his yellow eyes gleaming. He really was quite enamored with this she-cat. She was unlike any cat he had ever met. He perked up his ears at her next words, his face filling with amusement and humor. "I would be honored if you threw a rock at me," he told her, a teasing note to his voice. "You won't have to, though. You already got my attention."

[Skiv]

Ivyheart heard the purr come from Boulderfall. She just blinked at him and then when he said that next comment. She just shrugged playing off his comment, so he thought so anyway. but inside she could feel her pelt flame up. She just watched him closely with her green eyes. She looking into his yellow gleaming eyes and she knew that something was up with him. She just narrowed her eyes thinking What is he going to say now? She almost wanted to know, what he was going to say next. For some reason her yelling at him didn't scare him too much. Then she just laughed at his next words, oh she would be throwing a rock at him but more now that was for sure. Ivyheart just then said "Oh you better watch your back. Because one of these days you might regret that you said that." She just purred at him, then she just smiled slightly at the tom. but she wanted get off the subject of rocks. She just asked, "So what are you up to on this fine day?"

Boulderfall could see that he had confused her. She looked like she had expected him to be frightened by her yelling, or by her fierceness. He licked his paw and drew it over his ear as she spoke, and his whiskers twitched slightly. "I was working on my climbing skills," he answered, shaking out his blue-grey pelt and glancing up the rocky face of the mountain. "I come out here every day after I go out on patrol. It relaxes me." He glanced at her, his yellow eyes gleaming. "Not that I need the practice. I'm the best climber in the Clan."

[Skiv]

Ivyheart just watched as the tom swiped a paw over his ear. She just smiled slightly but then he seemed to answer her question. She just then tilted her head slightly. She didn't know much about Boulderfall at all, but it would seem odd for a warrior to work for relaxing. That was defiently not her kind of thing. She barely had time now to even go on a patrol with just some warriors and she didn't have to worry about which apprentice to take with her or what kind of training she was doing today. She wished that she could just be a plain old warrior for a day. She then followed his gaze up the mountain, then out of the corner of her eye she saw him glance at her and she just then heard his next comment. She just looked at him quickly her eyes gleaming. The warrior wasn't the best a climbing but she felt like having a bit of fun at the moment. "Prove it." Then the tabby warrior stood up and then jumped up on the first ledge easily. She then looked back down at the blue-gray tom, and laughed slightly before jumping up on the next ledge.

Boulderfall blinked as Ivyheart sprang up onto one of the rocks, throwing a challenge over her shoulder as she went. He purred as the tabby she-cat leaped up onto the next one. He had warrior duties to attend to, but surely there was no harm in having some fun? Deciding that there was in fact no harm, the blue-grey tabby hopped up onto a rock and began to climb as fast as his large paws allowed him. His competitive drive was kicking in, and he raced after Ivyheart, determined not to let the she-cat win, especially after boasting about his climbing skills. Something told him that she would never let him live it down.

[Skiv]

Ivyheart just watched as the tom started up after her. She leaped up knowing that she should beat him. but Ivyheart wasn't that great of a climber. She knew that Boudlerfall's large size would help him out here. but she wasn't going to let him loose without a fight. She just jumped up to the next ledge her back paw slipping up off of ledge and she slipped a bit but quickly pulled it back up. She looked down to see where Boudlerfall was. She knew that he would be close by now. Focused on her next jump the she hopped up and landed quite gracefully. I could beat him. Ivyheart was panting at this point, it had been a long time since she had done this much climbing this fast. She needed to get back into shape. The tabby warrior just looked up and scrambled up to the next ledge. And thats where she just fell over laying on the ground. She was done, her paws hurt she was tired. She wasn't going to move another step. She knew that Boudlerfall was going to tease her for this but right now she really didn't care if he did. She just lifted her head off the ground looking around with her green eyes not knowing if Boudlerfall was above her or below her.

Boulderfall was right on Ivyheart's paws, shadowing her up the mountain. The tabby warrior was fast, he would give her that, and her lean and compact body definitely gave her an advantage. However, his bulk and strength allowed him to propel himself up the mountain, his momentum allowing him to stay right behind her. His heart pounded and he was panting, but he was focused, zoomed in on the top of the cliff far above them. That is, until Ivyheart collapsed on the next rock, her panting breath loud in the quiet. Boulderfall sprang up onto the rock that she lay on and sat down beside her, a little concerned. He glanced up at the cliff that marked the finish line, but then he returned his yellow gaze to the she-cat, and he stayed where he was.

[Skiv]

Ivyheart just set her head back down. She was way to old for this climbing stuff. She just then heard another cat's paws on the land on the ledge she just looked over and saw the large form of Boulderfall right there. She just watched as he sat down beside her and she looked at him and grumbled slightly before rolling to her paws. She wasn't all that hurt just lazy. She just then stood up and shook off her pelt. Looking up at the finish line she just then said still a bit short of breath, "You know Boulderfall I expected you to zoom past me a long time ago. I thought you were the best climber in the clan after all." She just twitched her whiskers at him and then flicked her tail, possibly hitting him. She just then sat down, to catch her breath. She just looked at the tom wanting to see his reaction to all of this.
