So... Now What? (Roseh)

[Deku]

Sunstar padded out into the territory on a mini patrol, consisting of her and, well herself. Yes, she was alone, but she didn't mind too much for she had lots on her mind. Like the few lazy warriors she was starting to see around camp. She sighed. Some cats were just like that, not willing to work and making others work harder because of it. So here she was, doing what she could to help her clan by patrolling the parts of the territory that didn't get checked too often. This was a good Greenleaf with plenty of prey, but they didn't need other clans or rogues stealing territory in Leaf-fall and Leafbare.

Sunstar was silent, the golden tabby stalking through the forest. She was a bit bored with no one to talk to, but she hadn't wanted to ask anyone. Especially after how that had gone with Nightfox. Maybe someone would find her out here. She didn't mind who, but deep down she preferred it to be Beetlestrike. She hadn't been on patrol with the tom in a very long time and she was starting to miss their conversations.

Warm hazel eyes flicked out of the camp, a small lithe body slipping through the entrance and stepping into the cool shade of the trees overhead his slick body. Black and white fur slipped through the forest at a calm pace, a thoughtful look crossing over the dashing facial features that he was known for, those usual cold eyes now held a gentle, warm gaze that would comfort near any soul. Black lips turned up at the tips, transforming from a docile, expressionless straight line into a curved smile that was a rare sight-unless the tom's mind was a run with thoughts of Sunstar, of course. Just the thought of the beauitful flaming she-cat always made his thoughts become optimistic, happy, and how his expressions could always change from gloom to the bright happiness that was ultimately rarely seen. Some would even say he was in love with his leader, his closest friend-which he might agree with, if he was in a good mood of sorts. but that was only upon rare occasions, as he would only rarely let himself think or pry upon the feelings he felt so strongly, the butterflies that would fly in his stomach so often-everything that happened when he was around her.

Beetlestrike's thoughts fluttered back to the Earth as, ironically, a lovely butterfly flew by his face, set into a fiery shade of red that quickly reminded him of the she-cat he loved so dearly. Gentle eyes blinked in shock as the beauty fluttered and landed upon his nose, and yet another aloof smile graced his features, before he lightly shook his head in an attempt to make the butterfly remove it's position from his nose. Greenery only made the butterfly's colors more vivid as it fluttered away through the amazing shade of green that only resembled from the current season of Greenleaf, a beautiful season indeed-that alone made his thoughts flicker to the kits that would soon grace the presence of his clan. A ghost of a grin passed his features as he continued forward, until a scent flickered into his senses-a one he reconized on instant.

"Sunstar?" That deep voice touched the quiet, calm air as a loose smile touched his features, as he only missed the company of his dear friend-and he missed it a lot. They had not spoken in the longest time and it only hurt, to the slightest extent, as he craved the feeling of her fur and the look of her smile against that fiery features of his...something. He didn't even know what they were any more.

She padded on, smiling softly at the memory of their conversations. He had been there to comfort her if she had needed, which was quite often. Recently, he was all that filled her thoughts, and that was not too good considering she had a whole clan she was responsible for. Sunstar sighed as she remembered Nightfox, no Nightpaw. The lazy warrior that she had just earlier demoted to apprentice status. He had not been happy, she could tell and it troubled her. She looked down at the ground sadly as she continued on. That had been the first actual punishment she had given and now she was regretting getting so mad. Had she gone too far with the punishment? Demoting a warrior to apprentice when a moon of chores might have sufficed. She wanted to ask Beetlestrike, she needed his opinion. She should have looked for him before leaving camp. She doubted he would have refused to come.

She padded on still, hoping that by some miracle Beetlestrike would appear out of the trees. As if on cue she heard a deep voice she recognized almost instantly. She turned to see the black tom she had just been thinking about. All thoughts about the earlier punishment vanished. "Beetlestrike!" She called, bounding over excitedly to the small tom. She nudged him gently in greeting. "How are you Beetlestrike?" She asked, stepping back to meet his gaze.
