fox-dung..... I'm bored (open)

[Specklebird]

silverice was laying in a sunny patch of ground just outside of the entrance of the elder's den. her eyes were closed hiding the fact that she was blind. the tip of her tail twitched lazily. to any  casual watching eye she looked as if she was just  just a normal warrior taking a mid day nap, but if one looked closer you could tell. her ears were pricked, her nose twitched as the scents of camp reached her nostrils. she thought "I might take a walk today..."

Acorndapple looked at the she-cat. He knew her name, Silverice, but he had never really talked to her. The shy brown tom watched her, wondering if he should confront her. She looked awfully lonely.... yet he could sense something different about her. Sighing, he padded up to Silverice. "Hello, Silverice. I know we don't talk much, but you looked lonely so..." He trailed off, scuffling his paws.

the young she cat opened her eyes, her eyes were clouded with blindness. she turned her head in the direction of acorndapple she mewed "w..who's that" her her mind was thinking back..back to the faces she knew back when... back when she could see... faces..faces... her mother no..no not her father... she couldn't place the voice. so she just waited for his answer.

Acorndapple jumped, "Oh, um, I'm Acorndapple...I know we haven't met before, but..."he took a deep breath "I'm sorry, I'm not good at meeting new cats..." the tom's green eyes flickered. 'So that's what it is...'he thought to himself, 'She's blind.He waited for her reply, tilting his head.

[Specklebird]

silverice nodded... acorndapple... yes she remembered he was just a bit older than her... he... had welcomed her into the warrior's den... he had been kind to her. she smiled "yes, acorndapple I remember, how are you?" she stood up slowly her paws feeling their way, stumbling up. when she reached her feet she shook out her long fur, and looked where she thought acorndapple had been standing.

ooc: she just recently joined the elder's den, and is still getting used to being blind it has only been about half a moon since she could see

He chuckled, "Other way, dear," he placed a paw on her shoulder, "I'm doing fine, thank you... how are you fairing?" Acorndapple enjoyed being wih another outcast. Maybe she would understand how it felt to be looked at strangly because of a defect or a past mistake. Sighing, he sat on his hunches, dark brown tail curled around him neatly.

silverice turned toward his voice, her whiskers twitched with embarrassment. "I.. um... well, you know, elder's den, bunch of grouchy cats... I guess.... I'm getting used to it, but... well you wouldn't understand... its just..." she trailed off. she wasn't a good talker, she didn't ever have much chance to practice. silverice didn't have many friends....

[Deleted]

Acorndapple frowned, "Just what?"]His creamy paws kneaded the ground, worried he offended Silverice. He had a habit of being rude without intending to, and he always felt as though he could never talk to the cat he offended again. His eyes lowered, his anxiety scent clouding the air. "Did I say something wrong?"

[Specklebird]

silverice shook her head clearing her thoughts "no...no sorry I just.... I thought I could be more... I thought I could prove that I was more... more than a... um... well I have never told any one before." she took a deep breath then blurted quickly "I'm a half clan cat" she stared at her paws and mewed quietly "only the medicine cat, deputy, and leader know. she waited for his reply...

[Deleted]

Acrondapple quivered his whiskers, "You're blind, not useless," he chided, "You can still give warriors to the clan, and your lost sense, your hearing and scent have improved, so you can sense the weather and scent out herbs, and you can help the elders company. And it's not importanted if you're half clan or not... if you're loyal to Talonclan, your bloodline doesn't matter..." He looked down, his eyes clouded with thought, "I had a mate... she left me,"
