OOC: I'm running out of titles xP

Thrushstar sat in his den, grooming himself. He was glad that the leafbare was backing off, and newleaf was taking over, but not glad that the greencough still lingered. I guess there's no easy way to get rid of it, eh? Heaving a sigh, Thrushstar poked his head tiredly out of his den, looking for anyone to talk to, or maybe to go on a patrol with. Leadership was so tiring sometimes that he was glad to go on patrol. And those apprentices complain of work everyday. 

but it wasn't everyday you were a 'star.' Thrushstar was thankful the way his life had turned around. Everyone seemed to be paying him more attention, but was it only because he was leader, and they were making an effort to suck up to him? Even when he was deputy no one had believed him much. but now, he was leading them. I guess they kind of have to be loyal. Well, I don't want to force anyone to be loyal to me. Especially if they left the Clan for a couple moons! How selfish of them. He tried not to think of the cats who had left to 'escape' the sickness. They were back after all, and they deserved another chance. but it was a mark on all of them. 

Spotting Deernose, Thrushstar approached the other tom. "Hello," he said politely. "Would you care to join me on a patrol, Deernose?"

[Vinepool]

Deernose entered the crisp clearing. He felt a rush a cool air hit him. A big grin spread across his face, unlike some other cats he liked the cold. He smiled and walked towards the middle of the center of the clearing. He heard someone cal his name, it was Thurshstar. Thrushstar said if he wanted to go on a patrol. He nodded and said," Oh course Thrushstar, a patrol sounds wonderful. I been feeling cooped up in camp lately". He smiled and walked towards the leader. A thought passes through his mind, he remembered his early talk with Snakeflight, he told him to go for his dreams. He thought this is my chance, but I have to act normal, I don't want Thrushstar to think of me as a liar. He nodded to himself and turned to Thrushstar and said," Where shall we go"? He waited for the leader's answer.

OOC: Hope it's okay I talked about Him and Snakeflight's talk

[Lionhearted]

Thrushstar flicked his ears. Deernose was being cautious. He could see the other tom trying to reassure himself, nodding to himself, picking his words. A spark of annoyance flared inside him, but he doused it quickly, pulling on a friendly expression. I want you to treat me like a regular warrior, not some omnipotent being you have to tiptoe around. I'm not a hawk, I'm just a warrior in WhisperClan. "Let's go to the Slopes," he said arbitrarily. "We can check on the borders with StormClan. And Deernose, you can lead me this time. I'm tired of doing that everyday. So take the head." Stepping back, the ginger-and-white tom dipped his head to Deernose, letting him go first.

[Vinepool]

Deernose smiled and nodded and then said," I don't think anyone's hunted around there for a while". He turned around and started walking towards the exit of camp. As he stepped outside a gust of cold wind hit him. He shivered a little bit but kept walking forward. Putting his left fore paw forward he stepped on a small shrub. Scared, he jumped up a little and then looked at his paw. It was bleeding but it was okay. They finally reached the Slopes. He looked behind to spot the leader.

[Lionhearted]

Thrushstar realized he was lagging behind. He'd been nodding off, and had been walking at a leisurely pace. Deernose was tail-lengths ahead of him. Trotting, Thrushstar caught up to the other tom, giving him a smile. "Sorry, was enjoying the view too much," he chuckled. "By the way, I never asked-- how are you today?" Doing well, I hope?" Flicking his tail, he sniffed around. "Thank StarClan newleaf is around the corner. However, I do like leafbare, too, just not when greencough is around, too." He heaved a sigh, flicking his tail. "WhisperClan has gone through dark times during the season. I hope that the illnesses will leave, and we can all return to live our lives peacefully and normally."

[Vinepool]

Deernose smiled as the leader reached his side. He nodded and said," My day has been wonderful, I was just hanging out around camp today but it was nice". He finished his sentence and then he turned around to see if he could spot any prey. Nothing, he couldn't see anything. He turned back to Thrushstar and then put his nose in the air hoping to catch a scent. Sure enough, he caught the scent of a young rabbit. He licked his lips but he knew he couldn't eat till the clan was fed. He dropped in to a hunter's crouch and then slowly crept forward to the rabbit. He spotted and when he got near it he jumped and landed on it. He bent over and bite it next. It fell limp. He smiled and carried back to Thrushstar. He sat it down and said," Your turn". He sat down and waited for Thrushstar to begin.

[Lionhearted]

Hm. Boring. Reminds me of Vineheart, when we first met, Thrushstar thought, remembering the tabby SunsetClanner. Smiles too much, but I do like his happy attitude.

"Your turn," said Deernose.

"My day's been busy," he said vaguely. "Answering questions, chatting with friends, joining patrols, visiting my kits," he elaborated, flicking his tail. "Nice catch, by the way. but are we just going to sit here and talk, or is there going to be more productivity?" he asked wryly.

[Vinepool]

Deernose glanced down at the prey he had put down just a couple of minutes ago. It looked good, a little skinny but good. He heard the voice of the leader, he looked at him and nodded. He said," Congratulations on the kits, I want to have kits someday but I need to find the prefect she-cat first". Deernose thought about Thrushstar's question. He thought well, it is Bare-leaf but I bet there a lit of patrols. He had decided. He said," Why don't we just talk and if we feel like it we can hunt a little later". Deernose was happy about them talking, he wanted to get to know Thrushstar a little better. He sat down in the thin layer of snow and then curled his long tail over his front paws. He settled in and sighed happily, the snow felt nice on his sides. He looked up at Thrushstar and waited for him to sit down to.

[Lionhearted]

Thrushstar paused. "Okay... then." Well, it was kind of a waste coming out here... "Why don't we go back to the camp?" he suggested lightly, still standing. Twitching his ears, he sniffed the air. "There might still be prey here, and other patrols can come hunt, if we aren't going to. We might as well stay warm back at the clearing, and not scare off any prey while we're at it. Otherwise, we're just going to get cold here, don't you think?" Kneading his paws on the ground, he shivered slightly. "It's cold for me! I have short fur.

[Vinepool]

Deernose nodded. He said," Yeah, even though I like the cold it is a little much right now.". He stood up and shook the clumps on thick snow that were clinging to his short-haired pelt. He shivered as a patch of snow landed on his nose. He shook his nose and blinked. He chuckled and said," Last time I saw snow is when I was a young kit, it a little magical looking". He started back to the semi-cozy camp, it sounded nice to be in camp with his fellow clanmates, he felt more protected there. Not that he felt scared alone it was just nice to have other cats around him. He waited for Thrushstar to follow him.
