True Love Never Fades [Falcon]

[Twineheart]

Falcon

Starlingblaze came into camp carrying a pair of voles. The young warrior had been working none stop lately. It was in an attempt to keep his mind off of recent unfortunate events. His daughter Streamkit's near drowning and his mentor's tragic death had left the tom feeling solemn and confused. Solemn because he had adored his mentor, and looked up to the tom. It was difficult for him to believe that he was really gone. And confused because of the way his and Streamkit's relationship had taken a bad turn. Once so close, they barely spoke and he knew she avoided him. It hurt the tom, he wanted to make things right between them to gain back their bond but so far it had been useless. She kept herself away from him, and he kept himself busy as to keep his mind off the whole mess.

Now as he dumped his catch on top of the fresh kill pile, the black and white warrior looked around. His mossy gaze looking about hopeful they might catch the silver form of his mate Nightbriar. The pair hadn't gotten to spend very much time together of late, and he was missing her dearly. Flickering his large fluffy tail he cranes his neck over the heads of his clanmates hoping to spot the sassy queen.

[Falcon]

Nightbriar was sunning herself outside enjoying the sunlight while she could because leaf-bare would be on them before they knew it and she didn't want to waste any good sun, though she appeared relaxed her mind was truly troubled over her little kit, ever since Silverfish joined Starclan she has become depressed, and distant from her father, she wondered if their might be something she could do to help them regain their close bond....

[Twineheart]

Starlingblaze spots his mate, sunning herself in the camp clearing. letting out a tired purr he trots over to her. Leaning down he brushes his muzzle against hers, before pressing his forehead against hers a moment. " Hey." He says softly to her. Sitting beside her after a brief moment, he rests his mossy green eyes on hers. " What have you been up to?" He asks trying to act cheerier than he really was. He didn't like being all gloomy especially around Nightbrair. but he also knew she could usually see right through him. It was one of the things he loved about her, she just understood him. but it also made it hard for him to pretend about anything.

[Falcon]

"oh just this and that, nothing to exciting, do you want to talk about what's on your mind or do you want to brood a little longer?" she leaned against him and purred lovingly she knew what was on his mind but she knew he always felt a little out of sorts when she outright said things

[Twineheart]

Starlingblaze flinches at her words. Of course she knew, he thought snorting and shaking his skull a little. He returns her purr in full, feeling her body lean against his makes his heart flutter. Taking a soft breath he licks her ear and smiles some. " You always know." He says mossy gaze almost amused. " It's not fair..." he pouts jokingly. but then his eyes become more serious, and he draws her closer for comfort with his large tail. " It's just Streampaw..." He says after a brief pause. " I don't know what to do... she won't even look at me." He adds his voice trailing off and cracking. " Has she said anything to you... since... since Silverfish... ya know..." He cannot bring himself to say died. It hurt too much.

[Falcon]

Nightbriar shook her head a little "no she hasn't talked to me either, but I think we need to have some family time, you me and the kits together like we used to be, out in the territory just us, maybe then she'll feel more at ease and willing to talk about things, but you have to make sure no one makes her feel more guilty if they are any cats that she should feel she should trust it should be her family" (we should make this happen )

Starlingblaze listens to his mate speak, rasping his tongue over her shoulder in a gentle manner. When she finishes he nods his head some, pausing in his grooming of her shoulder. " Maybe a little family time would help..." he says hopefully looking into her green gaze with his own mossy gaze. " I hope it does." he adds with a gentle sigh, returning to her grooming. It felt good to just lay beside Nightbriar and relax a little. He missed the old days where they had spent the majority of their time together reeking havoc.

( Yes for sure :3)

[Falcon]

"She probably just feels guilty about what happened, we have to show her that we don't blame her about it, and maybe it'll help her feel better, other then that I think that just being with her will help her a lot" Nightbriar smiled and started grooming Starlingblaze in return

[Twineheart]

Starlingblaze's chest tightens some. Streampaw wasn't the only one who felt guilty over Silverfish's death. He too felt guilt, guilt for not being there earlier, for not watching his kit closer. It made it hard to sleep at night and only worsened his sense of grief over the older tom's loss. Sighing a little once more he nods, his eyes fixed down on Nightbriar's shoulder instead of her eyes. " Yeah I hope it's that easy..." He mumbles, his tail tip flickering. He returns to lapping at Nightbriar's silver tabby fur, trying to shove all the negative thoughts from his mind.

[Falcon]

"well these things take time, but grief is worse then an enemy sometimes, if you don't let it go then it'll eat you alive, it's natural to feel pain and sadness about the lives lost but no one shouldn't let it control them otherwise they won't be able to live there own lives"

[Twineheart]

Starlingblaze listens to his mate's words in silence. She'd always been wise beyond her years, even when the pair had been apprentices. And he knew she was right, he knew he needed to let go. To stop blaming himself and just mourn his mentor's death in a normal manner. but there was something holding him back, like claws tugging him down into the darkest parts of his mind. The negative portion of his mind whispering terrible things, making him feel terrible.
Nodding his head after a brief silence he tries to smile. " Yeah your right... as usual." He adds in a joking manner. Forcing a purr he rises to his paws, and nudges at Nightbriar's neck affectionately with his maw. " Why don't we go for a walk?" He suggests, hoping a walk with his mate would help further clear his heavy mind.

[Falcon]

Nightbriar pretends to think with a grin "well I suppose I could manage a bit more of my time for you" she teases with a smile and gets up with a long stretch not stopping until her legs trembled "so where do you want to go, any place in particular or just around?"

[Twineheart]

Starlingblaze chuffs at her cheeky comment. Rolling his eyes in a playful manner he bumps his shoulder affectionately against hers. " Oh gee thanks." He says chuckling, and watching as she stretched. Once she finished her stretch her words catch his attention. He looks thoughtful a moment and shrugs his shoulders. " Just around... I guess." He says brushing against her as he starts towards the camp exit. " It's not like we have difficulties finding things to do." He adds thinking about their apprentice days. He smiles some, already feeling better than he had before. Thank starclan for Nightbriar, he thought eying his mate lovingly.

[Falcon]

"and by that you mean, you get into trouble and I have to save your butt" she smirks at him flicking him with her tail as she followed him out of camp into their lovely territory "cause that's usually how things happen" she continues to tease her eyes alight with mischief as usual

[Twineheart]

Starlingblaze huffs and looks back at Nightbriar. " Oh shut up..." He mumbles playfully at her, reaching a white forepaw around he bats at her whiskers mossy green eyes shining. He missed this, just hanging with Nightbriar. They always had so much fun, even if she liked to tease him. " I saved you that time, when you nearly drowned." he points out falling into stride beside her as they stroll along. The sun filtering through the pine trees and lighting up their faces. His shoulder nudging hers once more as they went, tail whisking through the air in a playful manner.
